Greedy Fishing

[dertom]

Hola, just wanted to show you my game 'Greedy Fishing'. It was initally developed for the miniLD#20 48h game-
coding-competition with the theme 'greed' (or 'fishing'). Actually the game is a bit like a blackjack game on a lake.
Two people(one computer) have to decide one after each other if they want to go on fishing but they must not exceed
the weight-limit. The one that comes closest to the limit wins the pot. After you lost all your money the next round starts...
as a little gag the looser is "punished" to drink a beer! But actually without real effect. Just something for the eye.
(I planned to make more of this, but I rigged the models quite poorly so it was really no fun animating them...)

Actually I have to admit it is not so really challenging and becomes boring after short time, but it was fun making it (with jMonkeyEngine 2) and I actually got more familiar with the marvelous nifty-gui ( http://nifty-gui.lessvoid.com/ ). Nevertheless even I know it is not
a blockbuster I added it to a gaming-portal (gamejolt) just to see how this could work. As you all know deploying is also a challenge. I made an exe- and a webstart-version. So if you want to have a look:

Puh,...that is strange. Can you try again? I now use the lwjgl-extension.
(the strange thing is that I'm quite sure I tested it on linux...argh! As I said, deploying is also a challange )

Games published by our own members! Check 'em out!

Now it works fine but I had to kill the process by myself...
