OK anyone could say this has little to do with the improvment of blender but if someone wasn't inspired blender could have never came to be also!
http://www.hanzo-qsa.webhop.net/hanzogallery/hanzogamescreens.htm
so check out these screens of an up comming blender game by
brain-Storm-studios.
and please anyone that can program help make our dreams of game blender real.
have a great one!

it is *gasp* textured, and *gaaassspp* textured well.
nice job, but it does seem kind of offtopic for this forum
is it on elysiun ? (after checking apparently not, though I think it should be)
"make our dreams of game blender real"
I'm interested in more detail. all I can up with that would be more required is alpha testing, and possibly a way to have blender create an alpha channel, possibly by color keying, and using aforementioned alpha testing.
What is alpha testing, and what will it allow?
alpha testing pretty simply has the render test if the opacity for a given pixel is greater than a given tolerance, then it is opaque, otherwise it is not. When this is done on all (otherwise translucent) faces, they can have odd shapes (result of alpha channel), and overlap (result of them not being translucent).
If you look at the trees in black and white, although they are composed of few polygons you can see through holes in them that are generated by the texture. Unlike tranlucent faces which have to be sorted, and cannot intersect to render reasonably, alpha tested faces can be rendered very much like opaque ones, and without these problems.
I'd bring out a screenshot (or of the winamp plugin), but I don't think it is well suited for this thread (like the rest of my post), nor am I not lazy enough to do so.
