So here it is, our first full blown Papervision game with levels and everything . Under the hood it's actually based on a version of Tony PA's tile engine but with everything rendered using Papervision. It would be great to know how it runs on everyone's machine and whether any of you manage to complete it or not (btw if anyone manages to find the hidden Pac-Man level I will also buy you a pint if you ever happen to be in London)


Hope you enjoy it,

Looks cool

[scheletro]

Dont know, i like it, but... i was expecting more 3D in the game play way, moves like a 2D game, easy to amulate without papervision, well thats my opinion, i need to play more this game

[renderhjs]

runs very smooth here (quad core) but the presentation is not very nice. Its all 3d but it lacks propper 3d models and textures besides that scheletro already pointed out: gameplay wise its 2d at the technology level of the 80`s.

[the--flash]

Run's perfectly on my computer, but it really lacks polish. You have a very limited view of the game area, which makes enemy encounters too random, and there isn't enough going on in the mazes. It's a little confusing to know what the switches do, too.

Try adding more elements to make it complex...think of what Pac-Man would be without the Invincible Berries. It just wouldn't be the same.

Why not add preloader, its over 1.2 M and nothing shows up until its fully loaded.

ah oops, didn't 0ptice the preloader wasn't working...will get on with fixing that now.

Meh, I really like how it looks, but maybe that's just because I made it. I know the gameplay in no way requires 3D I just thought it would be fun to do.
