This isn't an actual in-game screenshot, but I think it is funny:

seeing all this 3d makes me feel kind of out-classed :-(
i know graphics is only a portion of a game
but....holy guacamole..., my game will have to be ingenious in order to compete!
contests like this give 'groups' of people a slight advantage =)

Thanks! Hopefully I can keep up my current momentum and get all of my plans done in time for the contest! I really hope I can get something fun and enjoyable done this year.

There were alot of the same concerns last year, but the results proved otherwise. Check out the results from the contest here.
I would say the greatest thing I learned taking part in last years contest is to go after gameplay, and have fun with your entry. Don't worry about what everyone else is doing.

Nothing new, but it'll be in the intro.

Behold my GPU killing canopy, which will not make it into any game, since shadowmapping + pixel killing + alpha testing + alpha blending = 19fps pixel shader bound on a 7800GTX [headshake]
Ah well, just wanted to show it off [smile]

nice canopy - I use billboards for mine (much like speedtree) and they get quite slow when they take up the entire screen. I pretty sure my problem is too much overdraw. You might be able to reorder your polys to get better frame-rates. The question is, what reordering would be best? For you I bet if you rendered the lowest to the ground polys first, you might get a good speed boost, since your under the canopy all the time. Also turning off alpha blending I bet you could get better performance.

MTTP, if you split it into two passes, do the first one with alphatest and z-writes, then you can do the second one with alphablend on to neaten up the edges and because you've built most of a z-buffer you'll remove a lot of your overdraw.

Don't worry, I'll be doing a 2D entry with (apart from resolution) barely above NES level graphics. Of course my biggest worry is how I'm going to fit about ~130KB worth of sprite graphics (~15KB GIF compressed) into 2000, at most 3000 bytes.
