Here’s the only sensible response to a challenge to make a videogame in under four hours: filling it with absolute nonsense. Sophie Houlden’s Blitzkast 10 submission StarstarstarletterD only skates around the edge of being a videogame, but makes up for its unabashedly basic interactivity and sub-five-minute length by wittering agreeably insane gibberish throughout. Reading all its crazy words was enough to tickle me, and I hope you too. Outward stocking? The egg.
Timelapse Making Of video below, which very nearly lasts longer than the game itself does.
INDIE GAMES.
Right, time for a look at some more of these four-hour games I think. What fresh madness awaits?

But Blender tits are very great, too, and free!
I should look into Blender animation some more, I only scratched the surface so far…

The effort the blender team did on de-crufting the UI (and everything behind it) over the years is really impressive. And the new “cycles” Path tracing renderer is pretty cool, especially if you have a mighty fast GPU.

From the DevTimelapse (love those things) it looks a bit like Ultima Underworld 2′s Ethereal Realm. Good Stuff!
