Game demos whether be playable or not (if not, then screenshots showing game progress)

These can be in any catagory:

Genre (Sci-fi, fantasy, etc)
Software (Open source - Blender, Unity Free, Unreal)
Software (Not open source - RC, Unity Pro, etc)
Theme

Rules could be:

You have to create everything to the best of your ability and if you didn't create it, then you have to specify where you got it and if there is a copyright on it. Basically, if you were to present it to someone how would you do it, and judge it that way


We used to do this back in high school, though we were given the software to create. The object was to create whatever software you think would be a great seller, then had to create the software box in a presentable fasion and then judged with 3 software companies that were local that came down.

I actually really like this idea. Almost everyone knows something about game development at some level that they can write a tutorial on. Even if it is something non-software related, like game story writing. It will also be easier for busier community members (such as those firing up another semester of school) to participate, unlike how time consuming creating a game would be.
