This year, our resident artist and judge riuthamus has graciously created a number of art assets for the themes of this year's contest. they are free to take for this week, and are free to use afterwards, but will be only available as free to obtain for this week before they will be placed in the unity store, so if you are seeking some assets to use in your games, you can find them here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41065/WoA_modelPack_v1.zip (note: check back tomorrow as riu says it's not 100% finished.)

It begins! I must say, one of the themes fits what I had in mind for this year perfectly. So I'm very happy about that.

Well anyway, good luck everyone!

These are great topics, now if only I could imagine a feasible game to make with in a week.

Good luck!

I think there's the potential for some really great games based on these themes.

Now to work out a (hopefully) fun idea.

Good luck everybody!

Started working on a neat entry. I'm currently on vacation and have enough time to put in. Until the last two days unfortunately.

so far I've got a decent engine and actual editor, but nothing ground breaking on gameplay yet.


due to limited internet access I can't write too much, but I 'll try.


good luck all!

I found copy and pasting the link as is, without using a link word, creates the window.

Copy the HTTPS:// address and paste.

I don't have a GDNet blog so I'll be posting directly to this thread :-)

Day 1 is over for me!

I spent the vast majority of the day just thinking about the themes and scribbling ideas in my notebook. I couldn't seem to settle on which 2 themes to choose. In the end I have seemed to settle with with Alien Invasion and Chain Reaction.

I won't go into too much detail about the idea this time around. But suffice it to say that the idea is more ambitious than I would prefer so whether I can do it justice remains to be seen! I might be tossing elements overboard as the week goes, so we'll see!


Speaking of elements that might get tossed overboard....

I've only spent a couple of hours coding today and I have successfully coded the world's most unrealistic fluid simulation, so that's something:

Compared to some of the excellent progress I see going on in other people's blogs I feel a little behind just at the moment. My first day is always a slow one so hopefully I can knuckle down tomorrow and make some decent progress.

That's all for today I'm off to bed.

Here's is my current "progress" hopefully I get the basic design by tomorrow
