Hello, Every one of you will probably have some unfinished projects which costed many working hours but never came out (eg, put available for download). This thread is dedicated to them, if you have some, show us! So at least all those hours were good for something.  I'll kick off: Name: Evolution Type: RTS Year: 2000 - 2003 Language: DIV 1 / 2 Info: This program became an ambitious project and started as my second program ever in DIV 1 - remade and extended when DIV 2 arrived. The screenshot doesn't show the latest version (which I seem to have lost) in which there was a second unit, a flamethrower. Gameplay was very decent and I worked on this for quite some years. At some point I decided it took to long and I quit. Screenshot(click to open the full screenshot in a new window):  Name: RTS2 (no name) Type: RTS Year: 2002-2003 Language: DIV 2 Info: Well, my second desperate attempt to create a quality RTS, this time fantasy. I did some nice drawing and pathfinding and then well I quit, don't know why.  Screenshot(click to open the full screenshot in a new window):  Name: Commander Quizor and blah Type: hmmm Year: 2003 Language: Fenix Info: My 96 hour compo entry, I started with an awesome dynamic menu and after that the intro movie, the greatest fault of the century. And after that I did a music track :wtf: so I didn't quite make the 96 hours. Screenshots(click to open the full screenshot in a new window):  The great menu I spent all my time on.   There's more dead projects, more recent, but I might pick those up ever again, so no screenies of those. Post screenshots of your dead projects too!

 Haha. And let's not forget the everlasting :F.  I dunno, I started a piece of shit for Ludum Dare 2k4.  And ahahahahahahah a pipe dream.  Everything else is old DIV stuff. [EDIT] Wait wait, this is an adventure game I started with Frim, the graphics are all concept art. I hope you don't mind me posting this Frim. Yes, that is an early Ludwig.  And here's one I started. I have walk and talk anims for the main character as well as the GUI all down good and proper. I dunno, I think I might actually carry on with this one.

I was trying to get the testing battle screen me and Parl were doing, and the editor Frim made to open, but to no avail. *Kicks XP* Anyway, like I said "The rest are DIV stuff". And there are LOTS and lots of old DIV stuff. I should remake Ship It! in Fenix, now that was fun. [Edited on August 4, 2005 by Fiona] ____________ laffo |

Do projects really die, or merely their incarnations, if you see what I mean?

Quoting TheMI3: ferret's forgetting pok� pc, but naturally there are no screenshots of that. My archives may contain something interesting... I'll have a look shortly.

I found some screenshots on my harddrive but you've seen half of it already. but i'm gona post it anyway there are many other dead projects of 3 years old but it's to much work to run them so this is all ok I'm sure most of you seen this before.. ancient terror yay my best project at that time :p discontinued because of windows xp and fenix. http://www.x3nce.com/main/upload/SNAP002.gif last few new graphics which I never used. http://www.x3nce.com/main/upload/SNAP001.gif here i used the same graphics in a different editor, the plan was to be able to make a village faster than in A.T. so i used huge tiles  (so darn slow)http://www.x3nce.com/main/upload/shot03.gif and my final attempt to make A.T. in fenix with 16bit colours.. somehow the code I used in div did not work in fenix.. I could not make more layers.. the z value of a process in fenix was not working the same as in div. http://www.x3nce.com/main/upload/at2.PNG ____________ |

I also frequently confuse you for a mere mortal. That game was sublime if I do say so myself.
