Agent Earth Game WIP Vid#1

My WIP entry for the 2010 Blender Game Contest.

Based on a retro 1984 game 'Agent:USA' I played a lot when I was really young on our first computer, a Commodor 64.
Agent:Earth is the 3D remake which takes place all over the globe. Ive been wanting to work on this game for years now, and although its a rather simple game, its got a few really tricky bits to make.

Note that the graphics are mostly untextured base models, Ive been working on getting the programming done first, graphics come later when the game is working properly.

Please. finish this game - it looks great. I played it a thousand times on Atari and i love it... It has a good potential especially when some new ideas will be added. I have some in mind...

@Michal19842 Thanks :)

I do definetly plan to finish this game sometime (perhaps next year??). Ive learnt a lot about programming over 2010 so I can apply it all to this once I get back to it. I also used to play it a lot, one of my first games. Let me know your ideas if you want. Im always up for hearing what other people would do, even tho I have a good idea of where I want my version to go.

I like glowing of the crystals. How did you made that glowing effect? One png texture as a halo and another projected on the floor or how exactly? :D

[ADEdge]

@DreadKnight666 The glowing effect is just 2 planes with the sparkle texture alpha mapped onto them, their parented to the crystal object, one set to billboard so it makes the crystal look like its shining from all angles, and another just parented to the bottom of the crystal so that it looks like a shiny effect on the ground. Then when the crystal itself is added with the object actuator the 2 child objects (the planes) come along with it as well. And I agree that it looks pretty nice :)

[DreadKnight666]

@ADEdge Oh right, billboard, not halo xD

Cheers! I'll have to consider them more often for glowing effects and such, they really bring in the eye-candy factor.

[ADEdge]

@DreadKnight666 Yeh they sure do. And I think halo would work ok as well.

@ADEdge: it's 2011 how come it's not done.

Love the commodore 64, the Tandy TRS-80 was my first so called "computer" but by far the commodore 64 was my favorite yet second computer. It still is my favorite... Love the commodore!
