SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

Except the "left hud background" it looks pretty intriguing. I like the lighting of the portrait-characters, makes them looking more painted than rentered. Last time I checked out poser/daz3D/... it looked a bit different (I know my lighting-skills are ..ahem ... questionable "improveable").

Definitely looking good.

Qube's got atmosphere with that use of shadow and smoke/steam. And Xerra has a lot going on judging by the video.

Great stuff!

I didn't render them with the better renderer ( iRay ) as that looked a little odd compared all the other graphics, so instead went for the for the 3Delight one with very little lighting to give a more hand drawn look. The title screen has larger versions rendered in iRay and look better.

A week to go. Nothing to panic about. Everything is going fine. Who needs to worry? Not me. Oh, no.

Nope, nothing to worry about. It doesn't matter that there's a week left and have lots to do. It also doesn't matter that I was greeted with extra real life work in my email box after the Easter break meaning even less time. So no, nothing to worry about - Not that I'm worried as it'll either get finished in time or it won't

Everybody flapping, but what about the previous comp winner Stevie G?  The Thrust game?

I'm totally chilled     No chance of entering this one - the thrust game was just a prototype which played pretty well but I haven't had any time to work on it since posting that old picture.  It looks like there are some great entries - I'm looking forward to playing them all.  I've only counted 4 entries so far - I just hope there are some who are working on theirs in secret

Aw a shame.  I have my pi running the old arcade classics - including the old vector graphics games, but they are not the same.  The originals had sharp lines and glowing lines too!

We may yet be surprised.  The last comp was very popular, with some high quality entries - even though the restrictions were high.  It's bound to vary from comp to comp.

Then a lot asked for less restrictions, so I came up with an idea to let the imagination run wild, but people complained it was too open, lol. Ya canny win either way

I do not think it is the rules or freedom you give. It's a coming and going, an up and down of interests/motivation/...

Maybe next compo is to try something "smaller" so it is easier to get _more_ entries in (but with lower average in quality/polishing).

But let's wait and see who finally enters and adds hist entry.

Don't beat yourself up over it Qube.  Early days for the new (ish) SyntaxBomb.  Competition wise I think peeps here are still finding their feet - and more importantly being motivated by the quality entries and ideas they may take forward at a later date.
