I planned on getting a lot done this weekend. I have. Just not on this game !
Space Corps 4 is looking great though...

No, I learned from the last competition with Room War - graphics are everything. There is no gameplay in this and it runs at only 2fps max on any machine lower than the judging spec. However the graphics are dreamy, so it'll win...
OK it does have some gameplay, I think Scorched Earth games work better in a 2D format to be honest (see Worms 3D), but it'll play as well as any 3D game of the genre. It has a few unique gameplay elements which I think will make it stand out, assuming it gets finished in time that is.
If Nick and I can't finish this in time then we're thinking of making it a realtime Mech Warrior style game, so you will get to play this.
Which is the biggest tool? The computer, or the muppet who invented it?
