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.
and our winner is...
