The Ready Games (formerly The Ready Contest)

@rrhoover thanks Ryan! happy you like it. Old school arcade is exactly what we are going for

@rrhoover Thanks for thinking of us, and thanks @henkholvek! 👍💪❤️

@rrhoover @henkholveck @dbennahum Yeah, of course I was surprised to see you guys weren't here yet!

@jonthewayne thanks Jon - it is a simple dynamic we tried and see it working well. People are practicing a bunch before playing their official run.

@graciousgarg It's only available in the USA and Canada ... for now. This is considered a "contest" because of the cash prizes, and that triggers a bunch of rules - we couldn't handle sorting them out for more than two countries to start. As things get going, we're planning on expanding to more countries over time.

@graciousgarg @dbennahum Aw that's disappointing, is there anywhere we can sign up to get an email when the app is available in our country (UK for me)?

@dbennahum @barteksoltys Or maybe release a no/virtual reward version for ROW.

Hey OgG! Thanks for the early ❤️ and ongoing support!

Hey @jason glad you're having fun 🌈! Thanks for the ❤️!

@colin_robinson My guess is it's the same as HQ: operate off venture capital until you have big enough an audience to get brands involved.

@colin_robinson So for now we make the games in-house using "Ready Maker" aka @getreadyio - our companion app that's an editor for kids/teens to make their own mobile games. Over time, we may expand the contests to the "maker side"- meaning we'll offer a prize system for creators that come up with cool games, which we chose to publish into the contest app. That, actually, is the origin story for "The Ready Contest": as a way to showcase games made in "Ready Maker," which has about 1 million users.

@colin_robinson @bryantpeng Correct, Bryant- we did raise some capital, and that's the strategy we're following: get the mechanics right, build the audience, then work with sponsors once we have critical mass.

@colin_robinson @bryantpeng @dbennahum I know that requires a lot of hard work so big ups on that. I see how this could turn into a platform to showcase these types of games and the developers involved. Great work!
