UnderwareDESIGN

   Yes, be very afraid, it's time to crown a new programming idol for 2007. So forget school, exams, work or your other half for a few months and let's get down to what's really important - who is the best game programmer? This year successful programmers/designers will:

 

   
• Develop a totally ballistic (over the top) shoot-em-up game
• Design their game to incorporate a particular thematic setting
• Build their project within the time allocated!
• Be humble in victory while juggling three chainsaws and a rabbit!

So if that sounds like you, and you have enough courage, grit and determination for yet another competition, then apply within (http://www.underwaredesign.com/forums/index.php?topic=1873.0).

 PlayBasic V1.62 is Now Available

    This re-release coincides with our 2007 game making competition  Ballistic Blasters  (http://www.underwaredesign.com/forums/index.php?topic=1873.0).   While this version features various bug fixes over the previous demo (PB1.61), the main changes are in regard to the trail period.  Which has been extended from 60 to 120 days.  So that Demo users can happily participate in the competition along side registered users.  

   We wish you all the best and look forward to seeing how far you can push PB this year !

Half Way Already ?

    Yes,  believe it or not but  this week end approximately represents the half way point in the competition.  While there's a few serious (fairly ambitious) entries taking shape,  but we'd love to see more.
