Acclaim has announced that Michael “Doran” Zummo is the winner of its Project “Top Secret” competition and therefore will be offered the directorship of an upcoming game, working with David Perry as executive producer. Every man’s dream.

“I think we’ve proven that this is a great way to find super passionate people, by creating an incredibly difficult task, unleashing it on a massive amount of people who live for games, using the latest internet technologies, and hiring the ones that rose to the top,” said super David Perry.

“It’s a win-win and you can be sure we will be doing more of it in the future.”

Thanks GI.

Acclaim’s David Perry is about to announced the winner of Project Top Secret, a program that allowed a gamer to design a professional title from scratch.

More than 60,000 people signed up for the project.

“There was no book we could follow on how to do this. In fact, the books out there seemed to think it was impossible! Could so many non-professional developers come up with new game designs never seen before? Of course they can, and they did,” said Perry.

According to a press release, Project Top Secret “is about to reach an historic landmark when one lucky contributor is chosen as the winner this month, and then their dream comes true.”
