Carnage Blender wants YOU!

Hi there, I'm new here, actually I've been here for a couple weeks but this is the first time I registered. I found this place while I was looking for something to replace my drab desktop images with. Now, I also play this game online, aptly named "Carnage Blender", their slogan is: "Meet new people, and kill them."

Here is their logo: http://utahpython.org/cb/biglogo.jpg

This game is a online RPG, its pretty popular I guess, but heres the nitty gritty. The designer of the game usually throws contests to help design "themes" and other things for the game. Well, I have recently donated my time to help build new interface elements into the game (ajax[gmailish-type-stuff], etc) and as much as I like to think I can design interfaces, I thought, "Hey! Theres a nice artists community right here!" And therefore the idea for this post is born.

The contest link is below, but the long and short of it is this: Redesign the interface for the game. If the interface is good, the creator guy will use it, and you will win.


The Contest Link Post:

If you are interested in participating, the prize for winning is a monumentous 40 million in-game dollars. In the game alot of people like to "sell items" including money, for USD, like alot of other games out there. The creator himself doesn't sell money, but there are plenty of players willing to buy in-game money from you. Currently in the game $10-$11 gets you 1 million dollars, so to translate, thats close to $400 as the top prize.

Since the game has a rather active community, we throw contests all the time for all manner of things. In fact I also have another contest running on there that involves 3D art related to carnage-blendery type stuff, although most anything loosely related to the game would do.

My Own Personal Contest:

Also, as I must mention this, if you are interested in joining this game, here is the link to join. (yes, you get extra in game money for that link)

I wish you all good luck, and I hope you all will come help us out, we have a couple graphic artists in the community there already, but they are all very mediocre compared to a handful of the people I've seen here. :)

GWT

Google Web Toolkit, GWT is a new publicly available software development tool that makes creating AJAX applications much easier.

Hehehe, I designed the ajax interface before alot of this recent hoopla over frameworks. However I did use my own framework.. the MochiKit one is rather fantastic :)
