While all the teams are waiting on the results from the 2nd stage, I've made up a small video showing some of the highlights from their entries thus far.

NOTE: This is only a sampler of some of the games in their current, heavily unfinished state. Those games that could not be recorded via FRAPS, I've used CamStudio instead, but the quality of the frame rate suffered a bit unfortunately.

Nice to see some video from the entries. The jet fighter racing game looks really cool already. :)

Well these aren't ALL of the entries.. and likely not all of the best of them.

There is another 3 or so months to go and about a 10 team 'drop' in submission from Stage 1.

This is not unusual as last year we had a drop, though not as big. I think this is partially due to the larger interest this year and other factors such as real life commitments and such.

I'm sure there may even be a few extra teams joining in late after the 2nd stage. They will lose some points for this, but it doesn't nessissarily mean that they will be completely crippled by it.

Keep up the good work guys! :thumbup:

This video was really a litte surprise.

Nice to see some other entrys :)

And by the way. Most of the entrys seem quite far for this short development time. So I guess we will see some great games in the end of the competition.

And kudos to all competitors as I can see some great work in that video!
