I have a question regarding the mechdroid game. It seems you have the items that the camera views in scene D to show up in scene C. How did you do that?

Yeah! To have space as a background is awesome! Your sugestion about rockets and asteroids is great Bmud, i will probably add this animation issue… (maybe it should be part of the gameplay why not? ;).
Currently the sky dome for mechdroid su#5z! I need to complete redo it :).

Ratchet and Clank will be usefull as a reference/guide to make textures more apealing and it also have a very cool character design.

Maybe it was early to have this project posted inside Blendernation, it is more like a kind of WIP as Bmud said, but it is also great to find some help and criticism.

Bye ! See you!

WOW! Organica looks awesome. Also, Francisco, thanks for adding your own words. I didn't realize that it was a work in progress – the website gave the impression that it was completed. I think Lorca made some of the best comments in the blender.org forum. Take a look at a game like Ratchet & Clank. Not that you should expect your target noob audience to model that much, but props can give a wonderful sense of scale. Also, this game isn't time based, so the background (space!!) could be much more animated with rockets and things to watch when you're sitting there trying to decide which way to go.

Hi everyone!

Thank you very much for the reviews, it was a big surprise to see this game published inside this Blog, it is a honor to me, i thing other games deserves it more than mine.

Joeri posted some very nice sugestions right here about Mechdroid: http://www.blender.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11888

I know that gameplay needs to be improved A LOT to make this game playable, my inicial effort was to make a very very simple demo able to be understood and modified by Noobs and help people to get started with Blender game engine.

Actually i think there is a a lot of incredible games being made inside Blenderartists! Epat talked about one: "Organica", i like very much Tomorrowman's crew games, Corey is a very gentle and inteligent person.

The game Mechdroid is open, please fell free to contribute. We need a lot of help. Change everything you want (I hope you found something usefull :).
I have more than 1 GB of test files for this game. I tested rigging and colision since version 2.25. If you are experiencing some trouble during your game development i will be glad to help.

Critics and contributions are welcome!

Greetings!,

ChicO.

It's a good game, but it needs some improvements.
I learned a lot from the provided files.

lol, this is the discussion of multiposters^^
7 multiposts, 'til now (not counting the first one), once even 3 in a row xD

I like the design of that robot :D
But (besides the fact, that I'm far away of doing such good work), it's not a that special game…
It looks nice, but I wont play it very long.

I like this little game… the main reason for it is that it is very different than other blender game projects, which are most of them FPS or adventure/rpg… I also think the gameplay is quite well thought, and this is a game that has good chances to become a finished game, which is not so common…

Actually, some of the older videos were better, but I don't think you can download them anymore…
