  MY IMAGINECUP 2008 FINAL RESOLUTION AND HOW TO START THIS NEW IMAGINE CUP Reply Contact Man.. i think is not the ENTERTAINMENT OR THE COOL GRAPHICS who makes u WIN... i think is the general idea to solve the problem and how to adapt that in a cool fun and entertainment game is the most important thing on this competition... one of the biggest mistakes when u are creating a game for IMAGINECUP is thinking on other games and try to adapt ur ideas with that games(thats the reason i saw at the beginning of this competecion a lot similiar games like HITMAN, STARCRAFT, WARCRAFT, SIMS, ETC, even a fly game. nO nO nO.. for this year we have to think about how to HELP THE WORLD and no HOW TO WIN THE COMPETITION(it sound crazy right??) but i know if u do something without interesting it means u are doing it for love, if u wanna get the most BRILLIANT IDEA .... U NEED LOVE!!!! GET LOVE FOR WHAT U ARE DOING!!!! and thats WHAT OUR WORLD NEEDS RIGHT NOW(a good idea maked with love), most important thing is the ideas maked with LOVE!! if u ahve love u have everything.. do ur games showing love for OUR WORLD!! and try to "think using ur heart"!!!! thats my resolution... P.D. and if u keep asking to ur selft WHY A SIMPLEs 2D GAMES GETS THE FINAL ROUND,,,,, GUESS WHAT... 2DGAMES ARE VERY SIMPLES, MORE ENTERTAINMENT AND FUN, THESE GAMES ENVOLVES A ENTIRE ENVIROMENT,  if u want to show an  ENTIRE sustainble enviromente.. U GONNA USE a RPG GAME?? OR A 3D WORLD(CONSIDEREING U ONLY HAVE 200 MB OF SPACE AND U HAVE TO WORK MORE WICH MEANS U TAKES MORE RISKS) ... DONT U GET FUN PLAYING PACMAN, MARIO OR OTHER COOL 2D GAMES.. they are simples but u know they arent easy and u PLAYS ALOT in a reduced space...they focus the game on how to solve the problem .. and no HOW OUR HERO SOLVE s THE PROBLEMS!!  thats what i think.. sorry for my BAD BAD englihs and my grammar ( it su...) plz i wanna hear what is ur final resolution for IC 2008 AND and how u gonna star this new IC!!! GOD BLESS U ALL see ya Programming

  Re: MY IMAGINECUP 2008 FINAL RESOLUTION AND HOW TO START THIS NEW IMAGINE CUP Reply Contact Hi! I agree with you, fun factor is very important. Also, very important is to have original idea and fresh approach and good theme adaption. Many games this year were just different games that were additionally modified to have something with "sustainable environment" theme. I think that games that won were build on sustainable environment theme, not modified later to be eligible , and they were passing to player that message, so thats why they won. Also I think that finalist games were very cute, they had new ideas, visual style, approach to gameplay, interface and so on...

  Re: MY IMAGINECUP 2008 FINAL RESOLUTION AND HOW TO START THIS NEW IMAGINE CUP Reply Contact Were there any 3D RPG games out there in the competition? I mean everybody knows that XNA does not support Skinned Models Animations in the existing content preprocessor. I would want to see one who has written his own preprocessor! He should be praised. Well, for one thing, I am of the smashing type, no smash, no fun. Can't understand Love in games. Hey! We can do as much love in this real world as we want, but if we start smashing, we are behind the bars! In my theory, thats why games are, to fulfill the gap! I am starting the IC for the first time. I too am of the openion that we should not copy existing games but create our own, I mean speaking for ideas. The idea of games should be unique and aspiring (and smashing!). Thats where I am starting my first IC2009.
