Back in February, Acclaim chief creative officer David Perry announced the company’s “Project Top Secret”, a collaborative racing MMO design project where a stand-out entrant would be tapped to head up Acclaim’s next MMO project. Today, Acclaim announced it’s getting close to conclusion, with one contributor to be chosen and announced by next week.
Acclaim said 60,000 entrants signed up to submit content for Project Top Secret, and Perry will be the executive producer on the winner’s project. The original plan, said Acclaim, was to let the community collaboration design the game while a team of professionals actually made it, but Project Top Secret has since shifted into being an entirely community-produced effort.
Now in its second “building” stage, the project also has a million-dollar prize at stake along with the publishing deal and a real-deal professional development contract.
Full announcement follows the jump.
