MagicMyshu has opened a thread on the BlenderArtists game engine forum where he invites everyone to post screenshots of their current game projects.
He writes:
Basically - to go along with the other threads that were either dedicated to technical questions or to specific projects by particular people, they had this gigantic umbrella monster where people who didn't feel like they were ready to make their own topic or those who only had a minor update that they'd made could just post a screenshot of something they were working on.
People would make comments on it and then post screenshots of their own.
Ultimately what you ended up with was a patchwork quilt that was made up of all of these different and varied projects that did a pretty reasonably good job of illustrating the state of activity of the entire community.
So, I was hoping that *maybe* we could get one of those started here.
I think this approach is brilliant; it provides an excellent overview of the quality of the current projects (which I think is impressive in some cases) while still allowing for feedback. Go ahead and add your own!
Oh, and if you have (almost) completed a cool game, don't be shy to contact us about it! :)

Going to check it out!
Great idea!
The blender comunity could take a great advantaje joining all the projects in one showcase, like the RIP webpage "BlitzCoder". This could give one fast show of projects and comments.
Everyone knows those ONLINE games. I was wondering if Blender GE, or Crystal Space or Ogre (which I believe is GPL, and someone(s) is going to natively add that to Blender -- correct me if I wrong) if any of these Game Engines has the capability to connect to each other over the Internet and play globally.
I ask this since this would make Game playing with Blender GE very social and FUN!
Is there such a capability for ONLINE GAMING in Blender? Is someone working on it? If there is, is a "central server" required?
I'm making a game, and it would be MUCH BETTER if MASSIVELY MULT-PLAYERS can play online. Something like WOW, but without the monthly fees, and made with Free Software, and gamers can play for FREE!
I'm really serious about this, and hoping such a thing exists in Ogre or Blender's GE....
.... one can only hope!
@Serious Question. it can and has been done in Blender.. take a look at Crescent Dawn.. there is a thread about it at http://www.GameBlender.org, and I believe there is also one at Blender Artists
Thanks Scorps,
Those links and leads should keep me busy (and happy) for a while. I'll find out more about it, and see what can be done. If we can create a Free-"WoW" like game, it'll be FUN and awesome.
If anyone knows anythings else, please post here!!!
