Finally...

Get coding, even if it's a small game, have some fun and good luck

A while back I mocked up some graphics with an Indiana Jones vibe and essentially a game on rails...Seems perfect for a 'you can't stop. '

That's workable.

And..... We're off 

I was looking over all the past entries and couldn't help but notice they were all in 2D. Although it does not say in the rules, are we bound to 2D or is 3D premitted?

Thanks.

2D, 3D, ... if you are capable even 1D or 4D+ is possible.

It's about you ... making a game :-)

bye
Ron

Okay awesome! thanks for the reply...  I have something in mind I only hope I can get it all in before the deadline !  Good luck all...

My last comp entry was 3D and other have done 3D games as well. As Derron says, 2D, 3D, anything you want

Thanks Qube... already started laying out my character controller today.. this shall be fun.

Yeah, I've had a couple of 3D (ish) entries.  Working on the initial ideas for a game, not supposed to be here has got some stuff bubbling up in the grey matter.

Good luck and have fun folks.

Qube, my wife wanted me to thank you..  Instead of going out to eat and to a movie I stayed in coding all weekend.  LOL.  I told her "It Is All About 'ME'" but that didn't seem to help any.
