Title: [DESTRUCTION] Bobfield Surfer
Post by: padman on March 21, 2011: Hi guys!

So here is my entry. I wanted to do something dark with lots of mayhem and kaboom and ended up doing this. :D But if you look closely, there's some "destruction" happening. I swear!
The logos were done by me with 3ds Max. This was my first try ever with that piece of software, so please keep that in mind whilst you are laughing.

Anyway, hope you enjoy it!

Pad :)

Edit: I made an extra windowed version. So if you have any problems running the main file try that one instead. You can press [SPACE] to switch between windowed and fake fullscreen. [ESC] exits.
Edit2: All in one zip now for your downloading convenience. Plus a minor bug fix.

The music also adds to the classic demo style.

Post by: Hotshot on March 21, 2011: I have double click Exe files and it went full screen then shut down to window taskbar at the bottom meaning it is gone.....

It would be nice if You make window version instead of full screen then i can see it

:cheers:

@ Hotshot. Actually I got all standard errors handled so you should at least see an error message. What OS are you on? If it's 64bit try to run it in XP compatibility mode. If that doesn't help, I'll make a windowed version, eventhough I really didn't want to this time. ;)

Post by: Kirl on March 21, 2011: Nice entry dude, the first version didn't work on the crippled laptop I'm using, but the windowed version ran fine. Cool music and nice bubbly effects, I liked how it all fell to bits on closing.

I don't know, I think I might switch to another coding language than Purebasic. I get the impression that it's not really reliable with Windows versions > XP and that really sucks. Or I can't code. Or both. :D Anyway, as long as the windowed version works for all (fingers crossed) I'm happy. And hey, a "buy none get 2 different program versions free" isn't a bad deal either, is it? hehe

You have a knack for putting together really nice oldschoolish looking things.

I like the fireworks too.

Let's put it this way, I just can't do newschool stuff. I tried. It always looks plain crap. :D

Post by: rain_storm on March 22, 2011: Excellent, you didn't go down the interactive road, I think that makes it MUCH more difficult to find inspiration for this compo. And thats one awesome fade out.

Post by: padman on March 22, 2011: Thank you! :) And yeah, no kidding, you should see all the stuff that went to the recycle bin before this one came to mind... hehe
