Hello

Here is a screenshot of "Skyline Taxis". It is a hover-taxi game I am working on. It will feature literally hundreds of levels that pit you against the clock as you dash through the streets of Ultrapolis trying to earn credits from your fare-paying passengers.

You need police cars, traffic lights that zap you if you if you get to close, competing taxis, and an odd storyline like "Earl wanted to become a Blitz Programmer, so he became a taxi-driver.....". Of course, I have not yet made a game, so I have no right to say that it is lacking if these features are not included, yet it would be really fun to run away from the police, and then be a convict for the rest of the game :) .

Altogether, it looks good so far!

One of the route obstacles from Skyline - a Space Cruiser, shown here as a standalone vehicle. Interesting technical note is that this model uses only 5 Kbytes of storage - that includes the mesh as well as the texture.

How have u managed that?

Procedural everything.

Textures stored as vector/control instructions, model stored using configurable high-level primitives.

This looks like the first minutes of the movie "The Fifth Element". ;) It looks very nice.
