Game Competition Entries - Post here!

[malCanDo]

Hi there folks,

Please only post entries here to keep the thread clean - comments on the entries can be posted here... http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=157543

Now that 2.49 is out, this is an official announcement to post your entries here before or on next Monday, the 8th of June. This gives just over a week, and allows for the weekend for developers to give their entries a final polish etc.

UPDATE: Here is a link showing the initial entries ( game names, screenshots, some early working demos ) that were submitted for the competition - http://blenderartists.org/forum/show....php?p=1315416


Your entry can use any version of Blender above 2.48a, including 2.49 and any SVN versions ( eg if you need the latest fix in SVN, which will become Blender 2.49a in a few weeks ).


You can post executables, or the .blend file(s). If posting .blend files, please specify the version of Blender that is required / preferred. If posting executables, please specify the platform(s) ( Windows / OSX / Linux )


Please post at least the following, in order to allow viewers to get an idea of the game in order to encourage them to download and play your game.

- Game Title
- Competition Category / Categories to be entered for
- A brief game description
- Team / Single developer info
- Screenshots
- Whether the game requires GLSL or not ( so that people without GLSL compatible hardware will know not to vote on it, as they won't see the required visuals / may see graphical glitches )
- A download link to the game itself

Optional...
- Video(s) of the game in progress ( if you want, you can state that the video can be used on the main blender.org website as promotion material for the GE - see http://www.blender.org/features-gallery/ ) - UPDATE - If you could make sure that you post the videos on YouTube, they would be viewable on all platforms. If possible, keep the original high-res version just in case your video is selected for showing directly on the Blender.org Showcase website section ( thx Erwin )
- Any other stuff you want to post that is relevant to your competition entry.

Many people could be seeing your game for the first time, so make the info in the post as attractive as possible

That's about it - good luck to all of the entrants!
Mal

Regarding judging... when all of the entrants are in, we'll have a community poll vote, and also a small handful of judges drawn from GE source code developers and related, eg some from the Yo Frankie team ( eg Campbell, Ben... ). Judging will be a split between these judges and the community vote. More detailed information will be posted after Monday the 8th of June.

[erwin]

I highly recommend creating YouTube movies (possibly in addition to some high-quality video for the Blender website).

Where is the link to the original postings of all games Mal? All the original postings there are candidates for the contest (in addition to the new postings), right?

Thanks,
Erwin

Here is my submission using 2.48. it works with 2.49-ish, except the camera goes a bit weird.



Screen shots are here:

Most recent build:

Old (pre-GLSL) screens and video (So you can see what's changed) :
http://www.glennmelenhorst.com/DukDuk/dukduk.html
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXT2q2EY94I


Premise:
DukDuk is a Pearch farmer whose crops are ravaged by hungry yellow dots. The dots normally fly harmlessly about in the protective mouth of a green guy called Barry. Alas, Barry is struck down in a thunderstorm and the dots escape wreaking havoc on DukDuk's crop.
It's your job to help DukDuk round up the dots and herd them back into Barry's mouth so he can leave once more.
in future levels, dot's of different colours need to be herded onto different Barry's mouths. Dots can have their colour changed by splatting them with coloured berries. DukDuk also falls into Barry's mouth and we change location to the Dot's home world where other DukDuk's have had the misfortune to be trapped. All in all it's an puzzler with a unique (hopefully) cast of characters and events.


The team:
Just me . I have had help on the forums with a script for the camera.

Just me (Avi -aka Pygmies) although I've had a bit of help with some importing scripts from Grant Adam, rigging from Brad Noble and general help from Glenn Melenhorst (aka grsaaynoel). Thanks guys.


Category to enter:
Gameplay and graphics. Got plenty of python so that rules me out of the Logic Brick category.

Notes:
This version was designed for 2.49. I haven't tried it on 2.48 but can only assume that none of the python will work any more. It also requires GLSL.

Game Title : ColorCube

Competition Category : Graphic, Gameplay, Logic Bricks

Game description : It's a maze game with 16 levels. You must activate color receptors to unlock the exit and get to the next level. Your only tool is a rolling cube...

Team : myself (Quentin Bolsee). I am a 14 years old student. I started with Blender 2 years ago. My surname will probably sound familiar to you. You may have heard the legend that Benoit Bolsee was brought to Blender by his son. Well, the legend is true and I'm the one. I didn't get any help from him through the development of this game though. I don't code in python so Logic Bricks is a must for me.

Requirements : the game requires GLSL. I only provide a win32 installer but the blend is included in the installation directory and can be played in Linux (someone else will have to package it for Linux though).

Download link : ColorCube (win32 installer)

*UPDATE* http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XICD63LT (blend file)

I tried to make this game as complete as possible, with a full menu, settings, music, many levels, sound effects, graphics effects; all of this with Logic Bricks. I put the game under the Creative Commons license: no modifications, no commercial use, no derivative works. You can distribute it as long as you mention my name.

Title: Burning Rubber

Team: SpewBoy (Ben Evans, 15) and PiroManiac (Callum Howard, 16)

Categories: Graphics and Gameplay

Description: This is a full on racing / stunt game featuring two cars, a criminal organization and a US Military Airbase.
The storyline is a bit vague but basically you are part of a criminal organization (much like the Italian Job), and you are given a mission to obtain a "package" from a recently abandoned military airbase. There is a nice surprise at the end when you see what's in the package

Features:

-> A vast open airbase level situated in a desert environment
-> Two completely different cars, both highly detailed
-> Realistic vehicle damage
-> Fully destructible structures
-> A mysterious storyline and a nice surprise at the end
-> The latest graphic effects such as Bloom, Depth of Field, Motion Blur, Realtime reflections and SSAO
-> Stylish menu system
-> Can easily be optimized for better performance or quality

Requirements:

-> GLSL support is recommended but not essential to play the game.
-> 1GB Ram. Less is untested.
-> Blender 2.49. (2.49a may not work on Intel Macs)
-> Should work with Mac and Linux operating systems as well as Windows.

Tested only on Windows and Mac. I can almost guarantee that this will work on any Intel Mac. Works on a Macbook with integrated graphics card (GMA 950). Works on a Windows PC with nVidia 9600GT graphics card, 2gb RAM and 2.0GHz dual core processor. Any resolution will work for the blend but the runtime must use 1280x800 or higher to work correctly. Macs can't have any GFX such as SSAO, DOF or motion blur etc, as this is a Blender limitation.

If your playing on a computer with very little graphics support, clamp the textures to 512 in the blend for more performance. This is done by going into the preferences section and then going to the OpenGL section, there you will find an option to clamp the textures. Lower means more performance. If you have a very old system you may clamp to 256 or 128, but this will severely reduce graphical quality.

NOTES:

How to reset car: What isn't mentioned in the game, as it is a recent feature, is that if you hold down the "R" key for one second you will be able to restart the level, in case you get stuck.

Other controls and problems: Scroll in and out to zoom in on the car when playing or in garage. Press "c" to change camera but make sure Depth of field is off when using an interior or hood camera or your vision will be quite blurry .
Arrows - Drive around and steer
Number keys - Activate GFX (Windows only)
Escape - Pause game

The menu system: For anyone who might be confused:
- RIDE menu item takes you to a car selection screen
- TWEAK takes you to a garage where you can view your car and is a good place to activate the visual effects
- BURNIT takes you to a level selection screen, from which you can start playing the game
- COOL OFF is the quit game item. Select this to quit the game

If you get into trouble and something isn't working right or you just want to quit fast, press F1.

Download:
Blend (filefront)
Blend (uploading.com) - These blends are for Windows, Mac and Linux (or any other OS that runs Blender). Requires python to work.
Runtime (filefront) - For Windows. May provide performance improvements, but less flexible, so no texture clamping for older graphics cards, and has a fixed resolution. Doesn't require python to work.

My game is just called "Cube"

Game Name: Cube
Brief Game Description: Puzzle/Platformer. There's basic combat, but the general game is going to be running through levels and solving puzzles.
Team Description: Just me, Sam Tregillus aka TheSambassador
Category to enter: All 3: Gameplay, Graphics, and Logicbricks. The game uses no python.

There's also a video of the work thus far here (though youtube = crappy quality):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aovqQsLf-7Q <---- newer

Notes - The music is a NIN song (Ghosts 21) which is licensed under the Creative Commons.
I was planning on having 5 levels, but I screwed up and lost a bunch of my work, so this is all we get.

Play in 2.49! Non-GLSL, run in Texface mode.

That's it!

Game: (.blend)http://www.4shared.com/file/11071487...8/WolfV10.html


Notes: After unzipping the file(WolfV1.0.ZIP), then take the file 'WolfV1.0' out of the parent file 'WolfV1.0' and put it directly onto C:\ Otherwise it won't work. Good luck to all other entries! Oh, and I haven't done the credits thing yet, so nothing happens when you try to go to credits. This is just the first release. I still need to fix MANY things for the next version, so this one wasn't really done.

This game requires GLSL and has not been tested with blender 2.49(it isn't working on my compy)
