yeah, i was feeling that way, with school and all, but i'm doing this in C++ and its turned out to be the easiest and fastest game I have written. becasue of the way in which the level is designed, sliding collision is sooo easy, and the physics is uber-simple

Also, any chance I can put a DBPro Fanboy reference in my game?

Same here. I've got a sort of tech demo of the "on-rails" thing, but there's no way I can finish it

Very nice idea, though, Mr Fibble! You've really got that "less-fancy-SFX-is-better-gameplay" down! Sounds like alot of fun... But I'm abit mistified as to this:

Do you mean you're writing the game in C++ as a dll so you can call this in DBP
or... something else? Seems TCG kinda wants a game that showcases DBP's abality rather than the madz skilz of a VC++ programmer... But I probally misread your post.

Great idea, though, keep it up!

Well, its using IanM's interface library so it is using the DBPro engine. I could easily code this in DBPro, but i prefer to use C++

It's okay to code it in VC++.

If the core of your game code resides inside a DLL, you will not be able to win any of the Bonus Points for source code unless the DLL source code is also provided.

also somewhere I read that your game can't just have "RunGame()" inside the dbpsourcode.

sure it can, as long as you release the C/C++ source containing the real code.

uh, well, its a lot more than in game. My model has MeshSmooth on, and the render iterations is higher than the real iterations, so it looks all smooth. Its actually about 1000 polys, so its not to bad.

I've almost finished animating him. It took me a while to get the skeleton right. Although it looks really easy, it was actually quite hard to stop it from "pinching" at the waist and knees. But its all good now

ah, I see. good call there. I like the character design, it's the kind of style I tend to go for myself... simple and clean

I'm still looking forward to some in-game screenshots though

No shading, just difuse colouring and a high specular level. Each box is actually 22 polys, so they're nice and smooth

I thought I'd post a new screenie. The game engine is almost finished, just have to do the weapons. And then the gui, and then the sounds, music.

2 weeks to go, I don't know if I'll be able to finish it. Haven't got any sounds or music yet, particles are giving me the sh!ts and for some misterious reason my collision has stopped working

I'm gonna try though...
