Here's a sample of the awesome stuff I saw yesterday:
- Someone made a psychedelic music video to the song White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane. It involved an Alice-In-Wonderland puppet with loads of cool-looking visualizer effects. It was a great video, I just hope that MM continues to be extremely lax in cracking down on the copyright violations :)
- There's a cool little demo showcasing destructible environments. You could walk around a room and shoot a bunch of stuff like a TV or a door, and they'd shatter realistically. Cool stuff.
-Someone made a nice Myst-style first person puzzle game, where you explore an environment completing puzzles in order to find a key. I can't remember what it was called but it had good puzzles and was paced really well and
so I played it to completion.
- Splitscreen Spar is pretty insane. They've managed to get a split-screen multiplayer game working despite no official support for splitscreen functionality. If I were to guess how they've achieved this, I'd say that they have one camera mounted in place, and the geometry on the left and right sides of the screen are constantly popping in and out of existence to maintain the illusion that your character is moving around a space, and that both sides are sharing the same world. However it's achieved, clearly there's some pretty nuts logic happening.
