Competition is now closed. Please check out all the game contributed.

Come one, come all.

The 2nd Rotary Gaming Game Making Challenge is now underway. We truly believe that the people of this forum are capable of some outstanding work - and it can be brought to life by this unique and amazing piece of software called "3DRad" (along with some hard work).

We want to see what you can create. We want to see it so much, that not only will we help you, not only will we encourage you, we are also willing to bribe you into making your games.

So - the challenge is simple:

Create a game - any game type at all - over the next four months and submit it here for the adoration of your fellow forum peers and contemporary's. A platformer, A racer, a FPS, anything at all.

There are just 2 catches:

1) The game must be as close to complete as possible, and;
2) The game must be inspired by something from the 1970's.

That's it! How easy is that?

You have questions? OK. What do we mean by "as close to complete as possible"? Well, we are not going to be accepting any standard pcar objects, unskinned, on a default terrain as an entry.

Work must be your own, and to as high a standard as possible. Think game menu's, think sounds, think defined objectives. The more work you put in - the better your chances.

What do we mean by "inspired by something from the 70's"?

It can be anything - films, tv, music, fashion, cars, events, early video games, books, toys, etc, etc. As long as it was of the 1970's era, it counts.

Now for the best bit - the bribe.

Rotary Gaming have lined up the following for one lucky winner:

1) A Rotary Gaming T-Shirt, with a design featuring the artwork from your winning game.
2) A single user license (non transferable) for the superb Light Airplane Addon for 3DRad (more details here http://www.3drad.com/addons/LightAirplane_mkx.php ) courtesy of Mike Hense.
3) A generous 50% off discount voucher for www.the3dmodelstore.com.
4) A single user advance download of our next Sketchup Trackbuilder tool - featuring new textures, new pieces, and also including exclusive extra track pieces and features that will not be in the free release.
5) A single user version of the utterly invaluable Car Studio addon (more details here http://www.3drad.com/forum/index.php?topic=7232.0 ) courtesy of Rush3Fan.
6) Even more to still be confirmed....

Competition is now closed - keep your eyes peeled for our next challenge.

Winners will be decided by myself and cypermethrin (collectively Rotary Gaming) based on a scorecard system. Our decision will be final.

We are also both entering - however will obviously be exempt from winning.

Good luck everyone.  8)

And to help out - the inspiration for my game will be the very first racing game made.

From 1974: Gran Trak 10



My game will feature the tracks from this and it's spiritual successors, Sprint 1 and 2 - with updated graphics and sounds, but retro style simplistic gameplay.

Hope we get some more interest with this, get yourself in!

i'm going driver london with this, 70s cop show inspired I will present to you blag slag....you play the 70s robber and must complete increasingly more difficult blags to gain more swag to get access to the best 70s brit cars (thinking ford capris, mkII jags etc), all while being chased down by proffesional armed b*stards from the sweeney todd
So get ready to complete the blags you slag!

(caution - 70s brit slang may have different meanings to modern terms)

Perfect. Love the idea - and ticks the criteria.

Good luck.

so you are making a 2d game grim?
« Reply #7 on: June 26, 2012, 04:35:37 AM »

Nope.

Although the view is going to be strictly top down, the models and everything are going to be 3d. I think there's a lot to be gained from having 3d physics in a top down racer (car collisions, barriers, etc)

I want to stay true to the simplicity of the original's gameplay and 'style', while updating visuals and a few other bits.

Some more exciting news has just arrived.

We are adding yet another prize to the pot for the winner.

In addition to the rest, the winner will now also receive the truly excellent Car Studio addon, generously created and provided by Rush3Fan.

I have used this time and again (lucky enough to download before it was made unavailable) for tweaking car setups and it's truly invaluable.

As with the Light Airplane addon, and the Extended Trackbuilder tool - this will be a single user deal for the winner only.

Quick question... does it need to be a new project? Or could it be an older project on the backburner?
« Reply #10 on: June 26, 2012, 09:13:45 AM »
How am i on the list?? Ok seriously i have a project i may be able to get done for this. Not promising anything though! So lets just keep our fingers crossed that i can get it finished lol

Sorry hypokill. That's my mistake. If you want to be removed, just say... it's no problem.

Still - that's a lot of goodies you wouldn't have a chance of winning....  ;)

Oh yeah forgot to mention what i am going to make! I'm making a 70's themed fruit machine called 70's night spinner! Ideal for me as it is mainly a scripting project which isn't so time consuming. I have the best part of it done. Will post some screenshots when i'm ready.

Lol - He pm'd me and counted himself in.  ;) .... apparently it's only you I've pulled a fast one on.  :P (sorry)

@11Dogs - it doesn't have to be a brand new project mate - if you'd already been working on something that meets the criteria, then it's eligible.  8)

Get yourself in.  :)
