As far as I know, you can't register an idea unless its an invention, which you'd apply for a patent. You can't copyright it, as you'd need to have a completed work to obtain a copyright.

A poor man's patent (it's actually called that): Write your idea, in detail. Mail it to yourself, and never open it. Then submit your idea. Let the recipient know you've done this.

The downside is that your idea is going to have to be pretty damned unique. Every body thinks of everything. I thought up a movie plot, years ago when I was bored at work, years ago. Never mentioned it out loud. A few years later, it was released as a (bad) video game!



Forget what I posted! I googled "poor man's patent". It protects NOTHING!!

Rule translation pretty much is - if you enter the competition, you surrender any ability to claim theft, copyright infringement, etc.

don't tell anybody else you idea?



Send me your idea in an email and I'll register it for you :)



d21lewis, what was your idea that got turned into a game?



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.


Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

HA!

That site is such a load of horse shit.

Industry professionals will read YOUR idea. In addition, game producers will consider buying your idea if it's good enough.


Don't waste your time. No industry person will read that and no industry person will ever pay you for it. Ideas are cheap and each studio has a long list of their own ideas ready for use.

Oh, even better, they want you to pay them! God, you should post that site in this thread.
