First Course Challenges and Desserts

Bright lights, huge flashy work stations, and Torque3D! - ITorque2D!
Can you imagine?

Given a simple recipe, a few models and your choice of sound artist, who can make a super hero do the limbo the funniest?
Who can make the flashiest game of Plinko?

Can we team up with a treat thrown in the middle of the challenge?
Do I hear a rift in Guitar Hero clone?... With a special guest!

What do we have for prizes?
Put some real money back into this community, so we can see all of our players, get internships. Would that not be a show starter for some of us here?

I think it would be hysterical to see a bunch of pro developers battle not to not be the next one...

Game Fired!


Anyone care to join me here!

@Nathan,
There must be a language barrier here because I have no clue what you are talking about. I almost thought this was a markovian bot post.

I think I get it that this is asking people if they want to do a competition?

I agree with Demo. I was a bit confuse myself, what is the purpose of this thread?

That old language barrier I have,

If there was a Torque chopped reality show on TV, what would it be called? What are some challenges you can think of?

Just a post to have fun with. Maybe there are some new voices out there that would like to like to let their creative 'juices' flow.

Call it "Torqued". It would focus on stressful dev projects that make developers angry. Nobody would get any soda until they meet certain milestones. Periodically all out FPS sessions would be had between teams. The temperature of the rooms would be kept at 80F with little air flow. Lighting would flicker and there would be random viruses on machines. Developers would be able to try and hack the other teams systems. The dark side of game development would be explored.

@Demolishun, haha I love it.

Challenges should be to create the best multi-player team based mode/free for all mode etc.

The best balanced weapons.
The best weapon effects.
The best gametype level.

And the end result is a great game of all the best of elements.

Demolishun hit it right on with hot ideas.
How about a debugging challenge, under a time limit, moving from work station to the next with real pit vipers ready to strike at every turn.

Someone else take a crack. Break out of the same old best shooter game ideas that we all have, return to the innocence that makes games fun.
