BrightLocker makes a game out of making games

Playing games is fun. And so is making games. So BrightLocker is coming out of stealth today with the novel idea of making a game out of making games. It is, so to speak, “gamifying” the process of conceiving, funding, and building games.

The Austin-based company will use crowdsourcing techniques to come up with ideas for games, fund them, and build them. It wants to create a community whose members love games so much that they want to participate in creating them. That may sound a little strange, but bear with us. BrightLocker has already raised nearly $1 million in seed funding, and it is in the process of raising more money to finish building its platform via the Fundable.com and Angel.co crowdfunding platforms.
