Buy incomplete game on eBay, finish it yourself


Have you been struggling to get into game design, due to your habitual inability to actually design a game? Since your answer has absolutely no impact on the continuation of this paragraph, let's just assume you answered with a resounding "yes." In which case, you'd best aim your web browser at eBay and start bidding on the rights and source code of a partially complete game. You'd better hurry, George Broussard has already moved into sniping position.

Claiming to be an independent developer, eBay user mustardseed312 is selling a "near-complete 3D puzzle game," complete with "beautiful 3D graphics" and "cool particle effects." Having run out of time and funds, it's his hope that an eager garage developer will snatch up the code, finish the game and then release it to massive critical acclaim.

"This game is a shameless Meteos clone, except the blocks are 3D-er! Overall, we give it a four out of ten."

Perhaps not. Check out the embedded video of Prasium (after the break) and start staking out the auction. Bidding starts at a paltry $1,000.

[Thanks Brian. And, err, good luck with that.]
