THIS.. IS.. TORQUE! - Screenshot Contest
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.
