Top Secret Contest: The World's First Community-Designed MMO
Way back in February I interviewed David Perry to talk about "Top Secret," with is both a game ... a contest ... and one of the most interesting experiments going on in gaming. "Nothing has ever been done on this scale before," he told me back then. "The planning has been complicated."I'm happy to report that it's all coming together. The Top Secret project has a website, forums, and thousands of artists and programmers cranking out content and ideas. I admit; I was skeptical at first, but I'm really stunned at what the community is putting together. It's an exciting time! The best part is that one winning development team will get a full development contract to produce the final game, published by Acclaim.
I'm happy to announce that our own ModCenter is now affiliated with the Top Secret project. Anyone who wants to enter the contest should form a team and manage their project on ModCenter, giving them access to ModCenter's wiki, bug-tracking, task management, and other tools.

So can the community at large really come together to design the ultimate online game? Only time will tell, but one thing's for certain -- this is definitely one of the coolest projects going on in gaming today.
