I keep hearing murmurings of people making games, were are they? Hmmmm? As the most prolific "real" game developer on here (5 + runner! and the untitled rpg) I am concerned that nobody else is actually finishing games in euphoria. It's the perfect medium for arcade, rpg and puzzle games. Is ANYBODY actually using the various graphics libraries now available for games? I want everyone who's doing ANYTHING even remotely interesting to tell us about their projects and post screen shots (or at least email them to me) so we can ooh and ah and encourage each other to continue with whatever we're doing. I am officially 2 days into "runner!" and expect a playable beta by friday, with at least 10 levels (my arcade game engine makes it VERY fast to develop these kinds of things) I challenge ANYONE to have something we can play by then. Surely all you people who've been developing for weeks can beat me to the punch and get something we can see by then. Heck, I'd like to see any real applications (not games) that people are working on. We keep getting libraries and building blocks posted to the web site, but not a whole lot of finished applications. I'm sure many of us are bound by nondisclosure agreements or whatever and can't show what we're doing for a living, (I know I can't really - I can show screen shots, but I am limited to how many people I can show the applications I'm building to) but there's gotta be more of us doing things we can show people.
