The Cartoon Network and America Online have combined to offer one up-and-coming game developer the opportunity to create an online game for CartoonNetwork.com's Power Play Games area featuring a popular Cartoon Network character through a new program dubbed "Project Goldmaster".
One of the 20 Independent Games Festival finalists will be selected by the Cartoon Network as the winner of Project Goldmaster. The winner will then chronicle the journey to making a game using the Cartoon Network intellectual property on the AOL Journal blogging service. Through the creation of video vignettes, early story boards, screen images and interviews with the game-makers, AOL will also offer gamers an inside view of the creation of a game.
AOL Games members will have an opportunity to monitor and discuss the game development process at AOL Games Keyword: Goldmaster. The winner will be announced at the IGF awards ceremony, held March 24 in San Jose, Calif.
The Game Developers Conference and Independent Games Festival is produced by the CMP Game Group, which also produces this site.
