The rules are simple. 1 subject, 1 entry, 1 week.

You create whatever object or scene or whatever you can think of that has something to do with the subject. It can be as simple or complicated as you want, all entries are welcome!
Post your picture here in this thread. And at the end of the week, we start to vote. And if you are the winner, you may choose the next subject.

Deadline: 2021-03-06T22:59:00Z

First Block-Out-Scene for my entry. I like to make a Donkey Kong scene transformed to the real world… I got inspired from the Mario scene from anfloy in the underground collab.

Do you guys think that this is a good thing or am I missing the theme completely, it’s Retro Game after all…

bOBaN · February 27, 2021, 9:46pm

As an artist you have a freedom to interpret the subject however you want .

In my opinion it’s ok to re-imagine game in this way :). Especially that I am thinking about making something similar (i.e., show how I imagined it, not how it actually looks like), but with River Raid

Marijus · February 28, 2021, 1:28am

IMHO, back in a day the artists had a very different interpretation when creating ads compared to actual games. Even simple games (2D) like asteroids and invaders were published with a lavished 3D posters.
Personally, I love this challange as it makes me think back to the very first game I’ve ever played. Time to find the best memory of the game I would love to see in 3D.

FedPete · February 28, 2021, 9:18am

The same here. I have an advertisement for ‘Miner’ somewhere, it looked so much fun to play it (never did). But when you see the game in real … Oh boy, those days.

Marijus · March 2, 2021, 9:13pm

Here is my submission.
In case you’ve never payed the original version. It’s named Another World. I’ve focused on the part when human finds himself in a new alien world. I can post an original image (on request) I’ve based my submission.

For those who wonder what led to this image: It’s the point one starts the game. Original intro that leads to this point is here:

Those wondering if it’s the Sussane on the clif, well… It’s her. Here is the rendering (my first time working with fur):

bOBaN · March 1, 2021, 11:11pm

That’s awesome! And I do remember Another World! <3

FedPete · March 6, 2021, 9:14pm

Update (monitor more emitting light). 2.5 hours render time 768 samples, denoiser.

Easy one, best one still.

Jaco_Pretorius · March 6, 2021, 10:04pm

How retro can you go?

Edit: hash character was off-center and annoying me.

bOBaN · March 6, 2021, 4:33pm

Lol!

(but you could go even more retro… chess… or even more with a game of go )

Jaco_Pretorius · March 6, 2021, 4:34pm

yeah, true… I think pong is technically the most retro contender in this thread

bOBaN · March 6, 2021, 4:35pm

btw. I loved rogue and nethack

Blest · March 6, 2021, 8:01pm

“Wolf catching eggs”. My husband asked me to make this. He has some nostalgic memories about it. It’s a kind of rarity now.

Also nostalgic! This kind of games where the top ones during my childhood!

Congratulaions @Blest, you are the winner of the “Retro Game” challenge.

I forgot to invite people to vote, because it is a low amount this time.
But never the less, I think it was a difficult subject. Retro Game was more hardware related I think. But it brought, for some of use, old memories …

Tomorrow a new challenge and the last day to finish your entry for “In the air”. Have fun, stay healthy.
