To coincide with the launch of UnderwareDesign.com and release of Visible Worlds. We've decided to hold our first Dark Basic (classic) based competition. The objective is to create the most impressive roaming camera demo possible, via the utilization of a Visible Worlds portal system.
This demo could be in first or third person style ( RPG, FPS style). With the primary focus on creating a rich full environment. Added features like Actors, specials effects or collision are optionally..
Your world can be created from any world building tool you like or even by hand if you wish. You will need to create a VWmap file to represent your 3D world. in order for it to be compiled into a Portal. This process is left solely to your own devices, the core of the competition. So the tools or sources you use to create your world are left up to you. If you care to announce how you achieved your final result, that would be nice, but your not obligated to release such sources / tools via entering..
