Thema: NHSGA final project Do Aug 12, 2010 9:20 pm
I got back from the game development course around a week ago... just put some videos of my final project on YouTube. From the video's description:
My two-week final project at Carnegie Mellon's National High School Game Academy involved creating a third-person tank game controlled by a Wii-mote, displayed on a surround-screen output device, and utilizing the Panda 3D engine. A member of a team consisting of five programmers and two artists, I helped develop a game in which the player must navigate a partially procedurally generated level, exterminating mutated plants and harvesting minerals to acquire ammunition.
Sorry for the crappy cell-phone video quality
Overall the course was worthwhile. The lectures were a bit conservative (in terms of design philosophy) and business oriented, but what the hell... I met some great people and made some interesting games.
Edit - more pictures from the demonstration:

Maybe they didn't have someone good at modeling?
Looks like something I would spend 15 mins playing(which is the most time I have spent on any Wii game, so good job!)

Heh, we were a bit short on time. We did have some pretty awesome mutated plant models, which didn't make it into the video.
Send me your tank model and I'll put it in the game!

Also, I think you should send Chris a link to this topic, Sam... I'd like to see him try and defend his modeling skills
Also also...
