    Offering 3x free "4 month CC membership" coupons

    Hey guys,

    I've just received my Dream, Build, Play coupons for finishing 3rd place with Little Gamers, and I would like to give back to the awesome XNA community.

    So I'm giving away 3 free Creators Club "4 month membership" coupons (it's a 25 letter code to redeem on your XBOX360).
    As I don't want to give them away "first come first served" or randomly, I will choose 3 people with interesting game projects to port from Windows to XBOX360.

    To be eligible for the offering you just have to:
    • Not currently own a Creators Club membership
    • Be working on a XNA Windows game (even if you are just starting)
    • Show me some screenshots or videos of your game, even if it's a draft concept
    • Explain the concept of your game

    This is not a contest, it's completely arbitrary...

    If I like your stuff I will message you your free 4 month Creators Club! No deadlines, just reply in that topic :)

    I will still have some coupons left so I'll probably make the same kind of topic again in a few weeks...

    I am hoping to whip my game into the state where it does something vaguely interesting shortly.

    (I have been writing squad based route finding code for what feels like ever)

    Currently it is a series of circles moving around, but hopefully it will give an idea of what I want to achieve...

    Will try to upload a demo asap. (If I was lucky enough to win the Epsicode challenge, I wouldn't crack open the creators club licence for a while, whilst I move the game further forward.)

    Oohh, shiny! And I even qualify..I like this.

    So screen shots of my game can be found at my blog, although the screenshots are a week or so out of date.   It has a shiny demo movie from last week though which can be found here: http://www.xzord.net/streklin/PrototypeMoveWideScreen.wmv .  Hopefully if in fact anyone is ever going to be interested, I'll have a version with enough features to show off a pre-alpha playable demo by next week.

    Hmm, need to explain the concept:

    The concept is pretty simple - A small super high tech space aged version of the Mars Rover is sent out to find a new planet for habitation  Thinking it found a nice, safe, unhabited planet, it lands and begins looking around.  Unfortunately - the planet is equiped with a mysterious automated defense system which begins building robots to attack you right away (cause there needs to be an excuse for explosions).  Now, defenseless on your own, you must build your own robots and send them out in your defense (or offense even!) all while trying to complete your survey mission! (Missions will be things like kill 100 enemy robots, collect 10 "bio-samples", survie x amount of time, build x field structures, etc).

    Anyway, that's a brief outline of the idea anyway.

    Ok here we go.

     

    My project is codenamed PROJECT: COLD SILENCE and is going to be an old school top-down jRPG with hi-res graphics. I’m currently in the early developing phase. It’s going to be a modern espionage setting.

     

    Here’s a sum-up of what I want to do with the Story Mode:

    • Top-Down City Map.
    • Isometric Battle-Map.
    • 4 Players local coop multiplayer.
    • 8 Players online coop multiplayer.
    • Personalized character creation with multiple classes and factions.
    • Turn based combat system.
    • Infiltration System.
    • Chase System.

     

    Here’s a sum-up of what I want to do with the H2H Mode:

    • Up to 32 players online Team battles.
    • Up to 8 players on and offline Stealth missions like capture the flag and assault.
    • Straight-up PvP arenas.

     

    The story as already been written and from each of the 8 playable factions POV.

    I was planning to do episodic content, but apparently that won’t be a possibility with XNA so I’ll try to either get as much of what was planned into the game or find a way to transfer the characters over to a new game with the new episodes.

     

    Once everything is done and working, I’m planning on releasing the engine for everyone who wants to make a RPG and build upon the engine and maybe even bring it to 3D graphics.

     

    BTW, totally off-topic, Little Gamers rocked my world!!!! My girlfriend was laughing at how much I was getting crazy and just having plain fun with that game!! Please don't take my comment into consideration for your contest ;P I'm not that big of a suck-up!

    Catch XXII Games is broke.

    But we are making great progress on a 3d game which gameplay and art assets are developing nicely, but are still guarded, and will likely be so until the game is in an open testing phase, 3 weeks we hope.

    I can email you some .jpegs of some of our models or perhaps a very short video of some gameplay, but even though we are broke, we hardly feel giving our game idea away at this point is worth $49!

    We'd love you forever though if you hooked us up...

    I'm working on an asteroids game.  Started with the demo and decided to turn it into a full fledged game.  Has scripting, menus, power-ups, shields, 4-player support etc.  I'll PM ya some screenshots this weekend.

    This is a space combat game (quite a common theme lately) that will feature several game modes. Models and textures you see here are placeholders for now since I'm still writing the game engine, but I will eventually have some good visuals in there too (my art website is http://www.clintcaywood.com ).

    Still in very early production, but I hope to have the first version out by fall.

    Already implemented features:
    • Fully functional GUI
    • Deathmatch
    • Team Deathmatch
    • Capture the Flag
    • Dynamic AI
    • Rough Net Code
    • Powerup system
    • Dynamic Lighting system
    • Basic physics engine
    • Developer tools (for me) like a level exporter
    To Come:
    • Multiple world support
    • More game modes
    • High-quality art assets
    • Complete netcode
    • HUD
    • Tons more
