Christmas contest entry - The Spirit of Christmas

Hi everyone,

As I have no more time to spend on this project I have decided to declare my Christmas contest entree 'officially finished'.

It's a kind of freeform 'positive experience' game in which you fly through a winterlandscape and by touching the world change it.

Here's the download link: The Spirit of Christmas

As I have no idea on how many computers the game is actually going to run

Click here here to see some ingame footage.

Let me know what you think! Oh yeah, and when voting begins over at the contest don't forget to vote for me (that is, if you think I deserve to win wink )

Looks sweet! Everything fits nicely together. laugh
The controls could be a bit faster, faster change of direction, and I'm missing a challenge or two, and, while the level is endless, I feel lost somehow.
After enabling some clouds it became laggy.
My specs: Ati x300, WinXp, 1Gb Ram, 3 GHz

I like the style and the grafics. They are simple but look nice.

But you should do something for the performance! It is really slow/laggy on my system:

4X2.66 GHz
4 Gb Ram
Geforce GTX 275

Nice Atmosphere, have you done the music by yourself or taken from somewhere?

The Game runs quite good on my system (2.8Ghz, ATI Radeon 9600, 2GB Ram, Win7), but as mentioned before, the performance sucks sometimes.

I would like to see it with some more detailed trees (you could take some from the loopix project) but I guess that would decrease the framerate too much.

However, awesome work! Merry Christmas!

Hi, thanks for the comments. I'll try to see if I can give at least a small performance boost today. Also, I've uploaded a vidoe of the game in action to youtube check it out here

The music isn't by my, it's free for non commercial use music I found off the internet.

Has anyone got to the end of the game yet?

Tried improving performance, so a new version is online (at the same url). Give it a try if the old version gave you problems (no guarentee though that this version is MUCH better tongue )

My Famous Quotes: "Hip hop is like a virus, infecting everyone and everything around it. Every form of media has some way,shape or form, assimilated hip hop into it." It has also mutated into other strains like, trip hop, house, rap, gangster, and conscious forms. Once you are infected with it, its with you for life."
