by Konrad Kiss · 11/13/2009 (9:59 am) · 104 comments
This is a call for some Torque fun! Post your single best screenshot from your game in this blog in the coming 7 days, and win licenses to various products.
Create a screenshot (700x400 resolution) made in any engine of the Torque product line.
Failure to adhere to all of the above rules will disqualify the entry in question.
Our Cliff Construction Kit's final Torque 3D version is arriving at the end of this contest. Winners will receive licenses to all versions of the mentioned products.
If you already own a license to any of the prizes presented here, you can choose to pass your prize on to another Torque community member. Preferably someone who has submitted an entry in this contest, but it's your call.
If you are not familiar with MarkupLite, here is an example how you can post your screenshot within your reply here:
If you can't upload your screenshot, we'll be glad to help! Send it to: screenshot /at/ bitgap /dot/ com and we'll send a link back at you that you can post in this thread as your entry.
Everyone who is a licensee of any Torque product can cast a single vote on any of the entries after the contest has been closed in this same thread. Voting will be possible for 24 hours after the contest has been closed. Be sure to value the looks, ideas and uniqueness of the entries posted, and choose your favorite carefully.

I haven't converted our project over to T3D yet but I've been doing some experimenting. I'm pulling the trigger on T3D as soon as AFX for T3D becomes available.Here's a little screenshot of a house that is inexplicably in the middle of a foot of water:

This image is part of my art pipeline test in T3D, the aim was to create a concept art feel with good atmosphere.

I'll need to stick to these rules, since you could be someone who has previously submitted another entry or is planning to submit more entries. Connecting contest entry to licenses is a way of making sure that one contestant competes only with one entry.
I'm sorry, but I can't let your entry compete in the contest. I hope you understand.

@GohanX: Your account does not seem to own a Torque license. According to the rules, you can not compete unless you own a license to the product you worked with.

Check out Jason Culwell's work...his projectiles are pretty sweet! on youtube
As for a screenshot...well, ported my game to T3D, this is still in prototype, ...for the better part of two years... making a RPG by one's self is killer hard!!!
as the story line goes there will eventually be a ghost over the water that points to the sealed door.
edit: scaled image and here is a movie
edit2: oops...

@Helk... Nice shot! I love top down shooters. I'm currently helping on one with TGEA too. Lots of fun...Check out Jason Culwell's work...his projectiles are pretty sweet! on youtube

@J: Thanks for rescaling the image! But it's still not 700x400 pixels. :)

@Mike Rowley: Please rescale your image so it is 700x400 pixels. Maybe crop the middle? Thanks!
@Night Hawk: Really cool! Can you make another shot from a different angle, so we see that the fighters are in the game? They look awesome, but the lighting looks strange on them. Maybe it's just my eye, but I need to make sure, because entries need to be screenshots (and can't be photoshopped and such). I'm just making sure and stay fair with others. I hope you understand. Many thanks!

Awesome, thanks. Please now leave only one shot that you'd like to compete with in this thread. Thank you again.

Thanks!

Just a short clarification: until the contest is closed, you are free to modify or replace your entry. All I ask is that by the time the contest is closed, only have one entry and make that 700x400 pixels.Thanks!

This is a screenshot of my prototype game. It's a racing game that took place in the year 1928 in my home town. I love to make 3D worlds with Torque. I hope you like it.

JANR, you could name it something else, or get in touch with the studio who has the licenses (Wikipedia) and work something out. It's definitely worth a try, don't you think?

I was a huge Archon fan too - on the Commodore 64! JANR, you could name it something else, or get in touch with the studio who has the licenses (Wikipedia) and work something out. It's definitely worth a try, don't you think?
