PGD Annual 2009 - Progress

Maybe you should try an email announcement for all competitors who have registered. This will make sure the word gets out to all that don't check these forums.

Here is a slightly updated screenshot with a changed energy and damage bars, and a much nicer earth graphic...

cheers,
Paul

This is my screenshot. You can allready see the tunnel, some particles and fonts working.

Still alot of work to do.

Nice work Chrono

I've made some progress today. Got rid of some redundant code and I've rewritten the particle render code. Next step is to implement "game states".

Another screenie (nothing new though).

It's pretty exciting to see all these visual changes and additions to your games.

Keep it up guys. I'm getting excited to be having to play all these come end of November. BTW The competition ends 1 day after my 30th birthday. lol

@WILL, It you just said your b-day would be on the competition end-date, we would believe it also

@Chrono: Nice work again!!

Yesterday I received a music file form our musician. Now I need to implement music playback in my engine.
For the rest I also have some gameplay elements in place:
- Check point detection/chase.
- Re spawn if your stuck or fly out of the track or land on your roof (yes, it sometimes happen

).
- Countdown 3..2..1..GO! with visual numbers and sound before the race starts.
- Graphic enhancements: reflections (http://www.necrosoft.nl/?p=596)

I wanted to post a screenshot earlier, but I'm extremely busy with some other projects right now. So I'm extremely grateful for the deadline extension.

Here is the first screenshot of my game:

(Click to enlarge)

I'm trying a different graphic style for this competition, I draw the graphics myself on paper, then scan and edit them with GIMP.
The screenshot shows the first level (tutorial level). I don't have all the graphics finished but as soon as I have I'll post another screenshot or maybe a little demo.

Btw: The game supports an anaglyph effect, so if you have one of those 3D glasses it looks way cooler
