Okay, here's the deal. I entered a nation-wide game designing contest and my idea has been picked to be one of the 5 finalists. The next stage in the contest is voting. Anyone can vote if you're a legal US resident (sorry to those who aren't) and the votes will comprise 20% of the final score, the judges decide the other 80%.
The grand prize is $10,000 and the game will be made into a free downloadable flash game with some other extra goodies.
My game concept is called "Rhythm" and you can vote once per calendar day. The voting will begin on May 8 and proceed through the 22nd.
I don't have a link at this time but will provide one once I get one.
So please vote you guys, I would really appreciate it. I'm really praying hard for this for it could be a huge opportunity to give me a step up towards my career and towards college.
Thanks ahead of time. ^_^

That's really neat! I'm not quite sure what the requirements for being a citizen are (I'm worried my being only thirteen might flub it) But anyhow I'll definitely be praying!

Can I ask how the game would play? If your submission has made it this far into the final round, and with a prize $10,000 it should have stood against some stiff competition, I'm really curious as to what you drew up.

Well, to put it basically, it's a platformer but it is also music based. The character you control can switch between multiple styles of music (more unlockable later) and each one effects the surrounding world in a different way. For example, pop is a bouncy, happy style of music so it makes everything bouncy/rubbery and allows you to jump to higher heights or smooth jazz is slow and it slows everything way down.
That's just a basic overview.

Voted.
Seems like you're in the lead so far. I hope it stays that way for you, as I'd really like to see this idea happen.

I voted! Your idea sounds really fun, actually.

If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things."

I don't like to vote for an idea just because someone asks me to, but I went to the site anyway. I voted for your idea because I believe it's legitimately the most interesting idea there. Chroma Blocks sounds like it could be fun as well, though. I'd love to play either one.
Embraced by a gentle breeze, my heart breaks as I think of you.

Awesome! Shame I missed the voting - as a lover of platform games and music, the fusion of the two really gets me excited. I assume we'll have access to the game when they formally announce it in June?

I know it will be free to play but I don't know when they will finish it.

I have hugely good news! The trip to Best Buy HQ and their charity classic was 2 days ago and Norm Goldstein said I am almost guaranteed an internship at EA the summer I graduate. This Is an amazing opportunity for me and I thank God for every bit of it. ^_^

Very nice, Shiningmonk.
Just remember us lesser mortals who supported you when you were still small time.
