Leadwerks Game Tournament 2

[YouGroove]

OK , caus it seems i will be in Summer holidays also , it like my laptop can't anymore run LE3 caus of sound init failed.

Only my tower PC can run it, so i think i won't be part of it.

Or you must extend the date for 3 or 4 weeks, summer is not the more productive time sometimes.

[Josh]

I haven't paid a lot of attention until now to this, but some of the mini games you guys are putting out lately are very good!

[wayneg]

Just got LE3 will give it a shot.

[AggrorJorn]

@Josh: There are only going to be more and better game demo's from now on! We have upped the price money to a total of $45,00.

 

@wayney: Welcome to the community, to Leadwerks and this tournament! Have fun.

3 days left, i'm so excited

[AggrorJorn]

The theme for this tournament is: Elements.

 

Feel free to interpret this however you want it.

 

- Earth, wind, fire, air

- Chemistry

- The element of surprise

- ..... etc

[cassius]

elements plural of el·e·ment (Noun)

 

 

Noun

• A part or aspect of something, esp. one that is essential or characteristic.
  
• A small but significant presence of a feeling or abstract quality: "it was the element of danger he loved in flying".
   
  Take your pick

Too much generalist topic, it's like throwing a word from dictionnary and anyone can do any game style with that.

The tournament would need lot more precise direction,

Actually you should not call that a tournament as you almost DO WHAT YOU WAN ,the theme is too muc general and vague, not precise.

 

I don't know, go take a look at gameartisans site and look at tournaments, to see they are really well defined with boundaries.

With your actual theme i can do really any game, any style, any gameplay, for elements : i could just put some fire torches and that's done.

[Furbolg]

YouGroove... sometimes i wish...

 

 

It's about creating a game/demo/whatever fitting to the topic. I think it's made for fun not for professional competition. We will see how many great games we will get in the end.

[Arinthian]

Hello,

 

I just recently purchased LE3 (been playing with the trial for a little while now) and wouldn't mind having a shot at this if that's

alright. I'm not really interested in the prizes, I just think it'd be a great challenge to get myself to try and finish something while

learning more about the leadwerks engine at the same time.

 

Also, what timezone does this start in? I'm in australia so the 14th is only a few hours away for me.

[AggrorJorn]

@Arienthian. First of: welcome to leadwerks, hope you have lots of fun. second: of course you can participate. Never hurts to try, right!

 

It is no use for us to use a timezone. When it is the 14th your country, you can start. Same thing goes for the end date. Just have fun and play fair, thats all.

[Arinthian]

Alright, thanks. Looking forward to seeing what I can come up with

[Rick]

@YouGroove Dude, why do you have to make everything difficult my man . Just go with the flow and make a game that has somewhat to do with elements.

 

As a teaser I'll say you will all want to practice up on your game making skills in competitions like this because something cool is coming.

[gamecreator]

YouGroove, keep in mind that while you can throw a torch in your game and call it a day, you're competing against other people. If someone throws two torches into their game then they've obviously outdone you and have a better chance to win the prize. So make a sincere effort to represent the theme if you want to win.

 

Rick... interesting tease.

[Rastar]

Alright, I'm in. I'm gonna try something that I've been thinking about for a while which unfortunately is way above my head. Which means I most certainly won't finish... But at least I'll try to push myself and learn something along the way.

 

Elements, ey? Love that topic!

[AggrorJorn]

Well, look at our last games, they were simple game demo's prototypes. When you have something playable and it has a nice touch of the theme, you are already golden. There seem to be more contestants this time which should make things more interesting.

[YouGroove]

Can you make some thread for this tournament, were we can post screenshots ?

Would be great, and would motivate more all people.

Or it is a bad idea ? On gameArtisans or Polycount , this is each time a dedicaced thread with WIP screens.

[Pancakes]

I'm in!

 

I'm rooting for Hisashimaru !

[Aily]

 

Rick and I want to officially announce Leadwerks Game Tournament 2 !

 

.....

 

You can make whatever you want: a game, demo, prototype, flythrough, walkthrough, model or shader as long as you use the

use the Leadwerks engine 2 or 3 to demonstrate it.

 

 

If 3D Editors are allowed, I'm in

[AggrorJorn]

@Aily: Sure, use whatever 3d program you want but you have to use le2 or le3 to view it.

 

 

In the mean time: For most of us the tournament has started. That every has fun developing/designing their project!

[Aily]

@Aily: Sure, use whatever 3d program you want but you have to use le2 or le3 to view it.

 

I mean making my own 3D editor with Leadwerks2 rendering

[Rick]

@Aily All that's important is that you are using the LE API. So sounds like you are good to go with using your own editor.

[AggrorJorn]

I am intrigued... You are an excellent programmer and your previous demo's have shown that you are capable of quite complex structures. Looking forward to see your project.
