Rondidon is right, though. While a nice free project, this isn't something that should be in the showcase.

We need more projects like Silas up here.

Currently, the only visual thing I can show from my project is the player model made by my two partners on the project, still untextured:

Painkiller...
Very nice model!
It looks a bit heavy on the verticie count for 3dgs but I have pretty high counts on some of mine too... It does look great...
Thanks for sharing!

I agree, showcase means nothing today in A8 !
There are lot lot better screenshots even of games made with Blitz3D very old engine





Lot of things wouldn't must be in Showcase !

Blitz3D best screenshots !

A8 showcase is a shame (but there are some game exception) compared to the great Blitz 3D gallery (It's an old old engine !) :

I don't want to be too hard, it will allow you
to make something better next time !

For your game , sorry, but at first look it looks as it is :
like and old school indie game !
Textures floor/moutain are bad design (too simple , not good) and outdated, far from today gen !
Shadows are missing a lot !

So i think you could :
- use better detailled floor / mountain textures instead of using simple old gen ones !
- put lightmapping on terrain
- add grass, plants
- add rocks
- add 3D things : old abandonned house, little stone walls

Search with Google to find inspiration !

Just my personnal advice !

Now for a lonewolf and an indie project that's a great game indeed Specially for someone beginning in 3D game making !

thanks, i take note, but as I said before I just used the map from A7 outdoor, I only modified some objects, I didn't make it.

The Blitz Basic Screenshots are really really cool.

I wonder if its related to having simply more creative people,
or their engine beeing more powerful.

Guys chill out. Don't judge to hard! Yep, screens from Blitz are really good, but how many people are working on that projects? And for how long they were working? Don't forget please, that painkiller is working along, and he made this little project just in few days!! For a project which was made in few days, painkiller's game is really really great!!!

I know that this mini game for a one person game, it's really great !
An not lot lot coders on the forum reach to that
level of finished work and clever use of 3D art !

For Blitz 3D there are some that are one man project !
Blitz3D use DirectX 7 , it's an old old engine , even top notch screenshots of the gallery are , i've seen them from from 4,5 years (or even more ??) !
The difference is the use of detailled and very well choosen
textures, well enougth detailled models, good use of light !
It's simply a very good level design , and use of very good textures and lightening !
It could be done with A8, but only by people doing quality work and textures only ! That's the difference !

Yes, BUT: This is the Gallery / Showcase II and this is ONLY for exordinary good looking or big projects with real effort in them. I mean, I could also create a "cool and fun" template-shooter in the A5 office lab with the original ribanna-music and could say: "Hey guys, I created this in 2 hours! I`m proud of this and post it in the Gallery".
The problem is that the really cool projects go down under the uncountable mini-projects from beginners that are proud on their first steps. Okay, on the one hand it is not the user`s task to keep the gallery "clean". Nowdays, we don`t even have any forum moderator anymore who orders the showcases (It`s a shame and suicid in the long run that Conitec does absoultly nothing for a better homepage with rateable screenshots and projects, list them by rating, well-presented links to the best-rated projects, ressources and add-ons etc.).

Its the lack of good projects.
If the rules where applied strickly, there where only
a handful of projects posted after all.
