I noticed the english thing. I poke around in game options always. I know they were marbles lol, I was kidding around. I liked the sharp look of the game, all clean-cut and stuff. The game had me excited when I caught a marble, I peed a little... LOL.

Die 9700er ist einfach schneller wie die 9600, zumindest im Laptop!

Slizzer, WHAT exactly made you so excited? That you finally caught it, or, that you held a 'living' thing in a game world in your hand?

By the way: Wanna have food that bites you in your hand, if you don't shake it every third second? :P
There are soooooo muchfeatures we would like to add.... maybe in early spring of 2009!

This is really awesome. I love the overall style and mood of the game and it plays oh so well!

This is the best complete 3DGS project I've played so far!

Hope to see you on GC next week (be there on Wednesday and Thursday)!

Biting food would be fun!

If I understood right this is getting a commercial game. I wonder why it´s not optimized to run on the weakest comps. Maybe it´s because the pcs I am using are very weak. But my newer games are optimized, like level of detail settings, (control settings,) texture size and depth settings, special shader settings* and ALL menu sprites get purged if they are invisible and models get purged if a level is left or they are far away (not moving models).
My games are free and done by a single person. I think such optimizings should be a standard for commercial games. I would add LOD if my models wouldn´t be complete mesh deformed. In the web are free good LOD tools like melody from nvidia.

*It looks like a game with shaders do not run on a "non shader computer" even if they never appear in the game even if the newest direct X is installed. I can´t confirm that because my non shader comps run all of my games, but some of my users seem to have that problem.

HAHAHAHHA....That was alot of fun!

the game is great, and the music is really good to, goes witht he game perfectly... the 2nd level got me impatient though.. so i would just eat the one marble and lose...

Looks cool I like it myself 9½/10

Thanks to your feedbacks! Great that you liked it!

@ Ex_Citer: I'm really sorry, that it doesn't run on your pcs! I know how annoying it is, to download a demo which doesn't run.

You are right, the game isn't optimized. But it doesn't contain any shaders, only two FixedFunctions of Steempipe which should work on each T&L grafik device.

The weakest system, on which I tested it, has an AMD 500MHz processor, an Ati Radeon 9200 and 256 Mb RAM, it doesn't run smoothly but it runs.

None of my models has more than 500 polygons, and there are not much of them in a level, the most plants still have no LOD. There is one terrain in one level with about 10 thousend polygons and a skin of 1024x1024.

I agree, but before optimizing we tried to achieve a special unique feeling of design and gameplay and - couldn't resist to show what we achieved so far until now!
