This month I created a Torque2D game called Space Pong following a do it live example from Garage Games. -- Lots of experimental art this month. Most of it's pretty ugly, just me looking to see if something would work or not, but here's a mug-in-progress you're going to learn to hate one day:

...Now lets break from features for a moment (all out!) and discuss the art direction! 99% hand painted! One might ask, "Why go this direction when you have a top of the line next-gen differed rendering engine? Isn't that just silly? Shouldn't you strive to make Crysis look old school? You're going to need more brown, yo!"...

The Game: A clash between Indiana Jones and Legend of Zelda, a world of temples, treasure, traps, and dangerous foes.

One 12 is my own personal adventure into game development as a hobby. Its sole purpose is to serve as a personal challenge to myself, to create an entire kick-ass video game in the space of 12 months, or one year. Starting January 1st, and ending December 31st, 2011.
