I pulled two all nighters in a row to get it done.
I also released some videos of the demo on the DayOfWar website.
One game play and the other is a rollout of some of the vehicles.
This doesn't mean I am close to releasing the game. I just wanted to get into the contest so what I submitted is a demo that demonstrates some of the key features of my game.

Namely the spherical terrain code.

It is a simple level with 2 small bases on a spherical terrain , moon, about 30 miles in diameter.
The player and the vehicles react to the terrain as if the gravity is in the center of the moon.
In the demo the are 3 vehicles, a dropship , a scoutship and a jeep with a mounted turret.

The dropship and scoutship can leave the moon completely and fly off into space.

I will release a public demo at a later date.

I released a resource for the portal code seen in the videos as well.

Good use of the 3DRT models. No shame in using quality art from a site like that. :)

Looks really interesting - you can literally fly off the surface, and into space?

@Kevin Yes you can. You can fly clear out of the gravity influence of the moon into space.
