Xion, thanks! I loved the idea of a doll person, so I wrote it into a story for a comic I drew. I later decided that the character would be fun in 3D for a game I wanted to make at the time.
adj, I'm glad you like them! I haven't made much new 3D in a little while, I should get back to it.

Unfinished Game/Demos? Wow I got alot of those. I have a some screenshots of a few already uploaded. If anyone wants links to the latest builds just PM me.   This game never really had a proper name. I think it's working name was Galatic Conquest.. or something. Basically you start out with a space station and if you have to build units to fight your enemies and harvest asteroids. Here's the kicker though, I never made any way to control your units so you had to hope they don't do anything stupid. This also means you're on equal footing with the AI, which usually means the games will end in the stalemate most of the time.  I love this style and would like to do something like this later.    Hmm, apparently I only took pictures in the home system.. there was about 4-5 systems when I stopped working on it. And to transition to them, you were shot at high speeds by warp gates. As you were flying you'll see the nebulae move as you fly past them at super fast speeds and eventually slow down to enter your target system. I never quite figured out how NPCs were going to work. And when I got fighting AI working, they would beat the crap out of me.  I'll post more later. |

Some of the games in this thread look so awesome. If you know you're not going to finish them, why not give up the source?

big picI've started way more but most never even got far enough to be distinguishable from one another since they were all mostly just boxes and squares by the time I gave up. And the oldest ones are on my long-dead computer. The second from the top on the far right looks interesting. And I like the chunky pixels of the screenshot two pictures from the left of that. Is that an Amstrad CPC colour palette? |

Does a piece of unfinished design document qualify as "unfinished game"? If not... do we have a "game design dump"? I figured that all the over ambitious designs will probably serve as an inspiration source to others, and then at least the document does die in vain.

X-tender. I see what you did there, nice pun! Does a piece of unfinished design document qualify as "unfinished game"? If not... do we have a "game design dump"?

Here's the Last Completely Unfinished Game Demo I made a year ago: IceWolf.   Download here: http://dragon.six.free.fr/deviantgames/IceWolf%20Demo.zipThis demo requires a high framerate to be stable. If not, you'll go through walls x[] (for reference, it runs alright on a Athlon XP 2600+, Nvidia 6600GT 128mo, and 1go DDR1) There's many reasons why I can't continue this project now (mostly because the arts just weren't good enough), but it is not my last take on this style of game. Soon I'll show my new project for feedbacks, and hopefully finishing it this time. Oh God please finish this game! It was like anime in motion. |

It's true that it isn't like a anime, or maybe you mean't like a low budget anime ^^'
Anyway, it didn't hit the target at all, back then. If I ever resurrect this project, I might completely redo both the graphics and gameplay from scratch.

There's a local challenge to make a shmup, and I felt obligated to participate. The idea of making a polished shmup doesn't really appeal to me, though, so I spent most of the time in design and avoided polishing at all in implementation. It's a B-game in the bad sense.   It's called Intersecshmup, and the basic idea is that you can only shoot enemies that are intersecting. The enemies move in predictable patterns, like circles and triangles and zigzags and sine curves, and the original idea was to have you time your shots based on predictions of when enemies would touch each other (you have a limited amount of shots, you see). Making that fun would have taken polish time, so I defaulted to the standard "shoot like crazy when you have the opportunity". I was originally going to have a boss that changed shapes to different iconic intersections, like a hammer hitting a nail and a bat hitting a baseball and probably something else. I ended up just using the hammer. You can download what I made here (.exe link). Arrows to move, Space to shoot, Y to skip past the unreasonably healthy enemies. I also uploaded the source code for no reason. I do like the idea, so who knows, maybe I'll polish it up if I ever become interested in shmups. |
