Acclaim searches for “The Apprentice” of video games

Acclaim - Image 1Acclaim Games has earlier announced that it is starting a collaborative effort to build the most original MMO game to date with star director David Perry  codenamed “Top Secret.”

The game breaks new ground because behind the development of the new game is a competition in itself. Here’s how it works- Acclaim will select a group of applicants from its game community to become part of the new game’s development team.

Prior experience doesn’t matter as Perry claims that the raw talent and passion in the applicants is their main target. The participant who exhibits the qualities needed to make it big in the industry is selected during the process, is declared the winner and gets a  shot to get his life changed.

“This is the only chance I know of to jumpstart a directorship career in the video game industry,” Perry says. He also added “Everyone wins. They get to learn how to make professional games, and if they get anything in, they get a real professional credit on their resume.”

Acclaim CEO Howard Marks likened the project to a reality TV show, saying,

‘Top Secret’ is like ‘The Apprentice’ meets ‘American Idol‘ meets ‘The Video Game Industry’. WeÂ’re giving our players a chance to work on an online game that we will actually develop and publish. Our community really loves these games and knows what it takes to make a hit. And it will be a dream come true for one lucky star that shines the most throughout the project.
