My, it's been a long time since my last .plan. However, to make up for that awfully common start, I've gots lots of images!
So, here we go. Started this little project a few weeks ago as a final assignment. Here it is in it's completely awful starting stage.
Then, at Milestone 1 - I had to have all the gameplay in. It's a simple racing game - collect the crates for points, run (and later shoot) into the enemy to kill them. Splitscreen multiplayer (thank goodness the Gamefest demo did this).
The initial texture pass - you can barely tell I'm not an artist and had no time ;) The Crazybump beta was invaluable for stopping everything from looking bad.
The daisy vehicle is perhaps the most hideous thing I've ever made.
The second level I made was a kitchen level - driving around on the floor is always fun...right? Ended up being way too hard to tell it was a kitchen, but whatever - time and I have a strained relationship.

And the final level with some baked lighting from 3ds Max (with some wonderful UV unwrapping artifacts). Didn't have time to really look, but most likely there's a difference in the way Max shows vs. exports UVs to dts.

And, the best part of the game: the goal crate. A little mix of the lovable companion cube, a golden coin, a cow, and cake.
And, just for kicks, one of the images rendered from a raytracer I wrote this term.
So, there you go. Big thanks to John Kanalakis for answering questions (of other people) in the TorqueX forums - saved me a ton of time across the board. And, also to the team that put together the Gamefest FPS demo (and the whole beta) - the comments in the engine were very helpful.
And now, time to dream about the rendering equation :)

I liked he .plan too! Put a smile on my face when I was just about to gleefully throw my $1000 computer out the window because of dastardly Torque Game Builder.
