I participated in Ludum Dare #17 (a 48-hour game dev compo) this weekend. The theme was "islands".
I used Ogre (of course ), Bullet Physics and irrKlang and I made a sort of 3d platformer where you jump between procedurally placed islands at increasing speeds (it's simple, but hopefully addicting).
Here's my LD entry page with instructions and a download link: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-da ... w&uid=1503
So far it sounds like it's a bit too difficult, so I'll have a revised copy with better balancing up at some point in the next couple days, but for 48 hours of work I'm happy.
Here's a video:
Also, a timelapse of the development process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sGcEMPxATM

For 48 hours work, that's damn impressive! You've got a product that looks great and is quite addicting. Kind of like Robot Unicorn Attack, in 3D and a less immasculating way.
Great work.
Great work.

Re: "Island Hopping" - Ludum Dare #17
I have to say, that might be the most fun I have had in a long time playing a video game lol. Coming from years of Quake playing it reminded me a lot of strafing which made it extremely fun. I think my map was 79800 and 41 islands or something, but I played it for a long time and had a blast.
Very nice job mate.
