Rugs Online virtual loungeroom.

Rene Dudfield — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 00:32:40 +0000

Daniel and I have been working on a virtual lounge room for www.rugsonline.com.au - an online rug shop.

This is a flashy website where you can select a rug, some furniture, and some paintings by a local artist.

You can also change the colour of the walls, the shadows of the room, and the type of floor under the rug.

Have a play - it’s quite fun: virtual lounge room.

‘Zanthor’ wins 3rd place in game development competition.

Rene Dudfield — Wed, 19 Apr 2006 06:26:16 +0000

Aaron Moodie, and Rene Dudfield won 3rd place in the pyweek2 game development competition. As part of a four person team. Aaron & Rene make up the Melbourne Australian part of the team. Phil Hassey, and Tim Inge made up the Collorado USA part of the team.

The pyweek competition is a week long ‘Jam’ for game developers. Where a theme is announced at the start of the competition. Entrants then spend part of their time over the next week working on a game which matches the theme.

There are no prizes in the pyweek competition. The contestants do it for fun, learning, and bragging rights. With over 100 entrants the pyweek2 competition has some very good entries.

The game we made was called Zanthor, to the theme ‘It runs on steam’. It is based in a future, mystical victorian era world. Where things are run on steam… including Zanthors robotic, steam powered castle.

Next week a delux version of the game will be released. Which will include better levels, graphics, more music, sound, bug fixes and tweaked gameplay.
