Whoops this slipped under the radar but it would be a same to miss it: Oculus VR is co-hosting a three-week Oculus Rift game jam for everyone anywhere, and with prizes as juicy as $10,000.http://images.eurogamer.net/2013/articles/1/6/0/1/0/1/5/137465976875.jpg/EG11/resize/300x-1/quality/91
IndieCade is co-hosting and will showcase the best games at the IndieCade Festival in LA in October.The VR Jam, as it's known, shows Oculus' desire to not only produce a VR headset but also to create and support a burgeoning game development scene around it. That's the hard part, the crucial part and what will set Oculus apart, Oculus Rift inventor Palmer Luckey (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-07-11-happy-go-luckey-meet-the-20-year-old-creator-of-oculus-rift) told me earlier this month.The VR Jam starts 2nd August, runs until 25th August and will dish out $50,000- worth of prizes by the time all is said and done. In addition to the fat-sack of cash mentioned earlier, the winners will also be flown to Oculus HQ for a day meeting the team.There's a VR Jam mini-site (http://www.oculusvr.com/vrjam/) where you can register yours or your team's interest, and there's more detailed information there too.
