If somebody is intrested testing my game (just another asteroids clone) here’s the address www.miikkalaakso.fi.cf or

enter cast asteroid
F1 capture screen
Just download and inform me what type of computer, graphics gard you have and how many frames per second did you get.
If somebody is intrested to create textures for this game just send some mail to me, you will find the mail address from the site.

Yes, it looks really nice and the matter that it took more than twenty minutes till I pressed the escapekey to continue my work, so…I am working in a gamesoftware-developer firm and…I don’t think you can make a “real” big game of it, but a nice little game in any case. If you would build some maps through which the user has to fly, would still make everything looking a bit better at the moment (the light looks great in my opinion, but the halo around the earth…well =), but…yeap, it’s really fine, much look.
By the way, it runs with 100fps on my
AMD Athlon 600 with a Geforce 2 MX.
I must say that it is still early beta version, and there will be lots of enemy types and levels.
My biggest prob is that I’m no artist or modeller… and without cool looking models and textures the game is nothing, I think. So if somebody is intrested to give a shot please send some email to me!
By the way huge thanks to everyone who tested Thrust and shared a information with me. I promise that there will be new versions although I don’t have much spare time, but keep visiting my page, if you were intrested.

Hi miikkal,
well, you should look in chatrooms, in IRC for example or search in ICQ for hobby-3D-graphicians and 2D-graphicians. If you want I can still post you an exporting-library for 3D-Studio Max4, which the graphicians here are using to export theirs models into simply readable ASCII files you can convert into your own format as we do. In any case I am sure, you can make a game of it whichs making a lot of fun, if you’ll invest enough time into it, automatically nothing happens, you know =).
Well I quess that I don’t need such export library right now, but thanks any way. I try to search for artist/modeller from places you suggested, I even had one contact already, but I don’t know what will happen.
Thanks Michael for your help and “pointers”.
