Thought people might be interested in passing judgement for my benefit on an entry I am working on for the XNA build dream play contest?

Your working on it by yourself?!?!?! How are you finding it?

It's hard to pass judgement on a couple of screens but good luck!!

I've been working on it for about two weeks didn't get a chance before - been busy at work for the last 6 months. But I did re-write a lot of the code from an old directx version - wow XNA is so much faster than directx9.

I'd like to post the working XP version but, I'd have to wait until after the judging. Also, the models are not mine and I've negotiated with a third party for there use but only for Microsoft's competition judging purposes. I'm allowed to give the screenshot renders to anyone - I'll post more shots over the next two weeks before the close.

Well XNA Dream Build Play is now closed and I finally got my entry up - they had a pretty major upload server issue over the weekend in the States.

My three submission shots were...

Renegade drones start their attack from their Moon Base.

In battle the attackers are repelled.

Success in completing the defence of the station for the tour of duty ? some get through but the defence was valiant.

Only regret didn't get network play finished so had to can it - so close but just too buggy.

What are you supposed to do in that game? O_O

It's basically just to stop the enemy getting to Earth by shooting them - not an epic. Once the submission is closed I'll put the 500 word blurb up that I did for the entry. They've extended the deadline so I'm going to do something I should have before and add more characters and special effects to make it more interesting.

OK these really are the final entry pictures as they have now shut the submission down - thankfully as I didn't get to bed until 9am this morning. I've added granades and a bonus level to destory two transports as well as an extra enemy type a blue battered veteran who is harder to kill and can throw grenades...

Game start Moon Drones attack.

In the middle of battle.

Mission complete and rank awarded.

Will post the blurb when I find out if I went ok if not may keep quiet.poser2007-07-07 01:04:17
