How do I know what a middle school kid thinks is cool?
Plan to test your game on a middle schooler before you submit it. To win, middle school kids have to like your game. So if you don’t know what they like, do some research. Use the resources available on the Web site, and talk to any middle school kids or teachers you can find. If you post a question on the message board that should be answered by a middle schooler, we’ll make sure you get an appropriate answer. Building the coolest game in the world doesn’t matter if your target audience thinks it sucks.
