That game sounds interesting, and the graphics are truly awesome. Hope you finish this soon!

Here's my rather rushed, short and modest competition entry:

www.lumpcity.co.uk/~vel/goingtowar.ogg

While a prequel would be nice, I would much rather see a more serious game from you, something adventury, something indiana jones-y, or whatever you might think of...
Just my two cents.

A great game you've made there, keep it up!

It is, hm, interesting for a while, but it is more like a tech demo of an engine. And it's uite buggy too. IMO it's not worth the large download if you don't have a fast unlimited connection. It'd be interesting if someone implemented this in a bigger game though.

Welcome back Minimi!
I hope you make your non-linear game... what was the name... the void?

I watched Live8 yeserday/night and I must say that this is possibly the best concert in the history of music. I shall go on with the highlights:

U2 did a great job opening the concert, although I wish they played "With or without you", but I guess that would really fit in the concert...

Def Lepard showed once again that they can rock hard, when they want to

A pleasant surprise for me was Coldplay, who played quite well. "The Bittersweet symphony" was one of the highlights of the concerts for me.

You dont see this every day, but Madonna was another one of the highlights. I didnt like the choice of songs, though. She has much better ones than "Ray of Light" and "Music" imo.

Deep Purple rocked the stage in Toronto, and although I only saw them through aol.com I am sure they were, indeed, great.

Bon Jovi did quite well too, and I liked their pick of songs - just the fast paced rockers, which suits the party most.

I must say that Robbie Williams was one of the best, if not the best performer in London. And the crowd was magnifficent too. Never have I heard an audiance sing so well and fit in the recording so well as in the chorus of "Feel" or the verses in "Angels". And he was clearly enjoying himself. Thumbs up!

The 80s bands did very well too, and I am refering to A-ha and especially Duran Duran. The voices of their vocalists were in top shape. Unfortunately I couldn't see Pet Shop Boys in Moscow so I cant really comment on them.

Many words can be said about the reunation of pink  floyd, but I could summarize with with one: stunning. The synchronisation was so great that no-one would have thought that they hadn't played together for 20 years by listening to them. "Wish you were here" was the highlight for me.

Another surprise for me were The Who, who rocked, especially on the first song, "who are you?". An outstanding performance by the whole band, the vocalist was in a particularly great form.

The divas deserve a few words too - Mariah Carey, Sheryl Crow and Celine Dion swept the audiances with their voices once again.

Elton John did well too, although imo his voice was not in a particularly good condition. Or maybe his mic was low.

Stevie Wonder also reminded of his incredible talent, closing the show in Philadelphia.

And, of course, sir Paul McCartney was outstanding, 'finishing off' the audiance with several classics from the beatles. He hasn't lost a bit of his skills since his beatles days. The finale was bombastic, unique, magnifficent.

And as for the disappointments, they weren't unexpected for me. Bands such as Green Day, Linkin park and die toten hosen cannot even be compared to any of the aforementioned rock and pop legends. However, the greatness of this concert was that if you didnt like any of the bands, you could switch to another city. Pity I couldnt see the shows in Moscow and South africa though.

Last but not least, it is great to see young and old pop and rock stars unite around a good cause. it was the best show I have ever seen, and I hope that I will have the opportunity to see one like this live sometime.

Edit: There were some people missing: Aerosmith would have rocked, and Brian May, Roger Taylor and Paul Rodgers as Queen would have been a great addition. And although George Michael turned up towards the end, it would have been nice to let him sing a few songs.

In my opinion, in your particular case it is worth it. You art kicks ass, and Id rather watch it at 800*600 than at 640*480. Nowadays most people have fast connections, so as long as you find hosting, filesize wont really be a problem.

Hey, if anyone wants a tune or two for their game, send me a pm.

I think I speak for all from ex-commie countries here.... WHAT is Glastonbury festival?

I refuse to play the demo and spoil the game!

That looks classy, stylish, nifty and whatever synonyms there are in the thesaurus. Keep up the good work, GG!

Oh.My.God.
Absolutely brilliant! I cannot wait to play the first part of this promising game!

Actually, I made both tunes with my synth, but I guess that your comment still applies - i did not try to make the voice pitch sound natural, even though I now use another choir sample.

Just to enrol in this activity, I release two tracks from a game that has  not yet been announced:
Track 1
Track 2

Its a great sprite, and yet it somehow reminds me of japanese arcade games more than of Gabe. Maybe it's the hairstyle.

Ditto, ivan!

Modest, and yet so true.

Sorry for going a bit off-topic, but when I open a thread in the completed games forum, I expect to read criticism and comments on the game itself, not requests for help and hints.... After all thats why we have the hints and tips forum, right?
