Student Indie Game Done with Blender
Students on the Queensland University of Technology are creating a game in Blender, winning over the entire university to switch from Maya to Blender in the process!
Daniel Feltwell writes:My name is Daniel Feltwell and I am part of Team Ugly Stick, an independent studio comprised of students from Queensland University of Technology. We have recently released the free public beta for our debut title Primitives, a game that is comprised entirely of Blender made assets! Our animation team has been a firm advocate for Blender, and now our University is in the process of converting from Maya to Blender for all of its animation courses!
Primitives is a third person survival/strategy game set on an alien planet filled with diverse flora and fauna. You must lead a tribe of primitive tribe people by assuming the role of chief, the only tribe member with the brainpower to lead the tribe to prosperity. To conquer the land you must defeat the king of the jungle, a ferocious beast with a ravenous hunger that includes alien and man meat alike. To defeat this beast, you must expand your tribe by collecting various resources such as wood, stone leather and bone and utilize these to build up your camp. The larger the camp the more members will flock to your tribe which means more mouths to feed but also greater strength to combat the predators that roam the land.
Primitives is currently still in the top 100 on IndieDB, peaking at number 25! You can download it for free.

very cool great job
Looks great. And it just goes to show: action speaks louder than words. Instead of shouting about how people should use open source, USE open source yourself and create amazing things, and then tell people it was done with open source. That is what convinces people!
The Blender game engine, lets do amazing work, I had to leave and go to use unity 3d as the major problem of the Blender game engine is a license, not for that not only I, but other friends were also distributing and watching the games.
Looks a lot like From Dust.
