If you can't send a RAR file with GMail, then just send a ZIP (or even a GZIP or something) instead then- at the very least your RAR program should be able to do it in that format...

damn that sucks :/

Screenshots updated
Thanks. Just tried trigger_vphysics out, and it doesn't look too bad, but for the time I've got, it's not really an option yet. Also, it doesn't seem to affect bullets, and all the players/objects/whatever (depending on settings) would be followed by a huge cloud of blue bubbles.
The current version has been submitted with some changes (the first screenshot has been re-textured to look much more metally/rusty). Work will continue, even though the competition version has ben submitted. Oh and any ideas as to whether we release these independant of the competition or not (i.e. can I put a download up now)?

You can use a trigger_vphysics to make objects act like they are in water and also give them trails with the texture/sprite of your choice (i.e. bubble)
I'd fiddel around with that and see what you can do.

Agreed with the first point, but not sure how it would be done. I'll look into the dreaded "logic" entities. I've feeling it's doable if I turn every brush into an entity or something, but I'm not too keen on that...![<img src=]()

I tried the clipped off thing with water from below, but it's a bit of a nightmare tbh. Maybe some stuff floating past the windows... I'll give it another shot.

A clipped off area that showed water surface from the bottom and floating objects would be badass. Not sure how you can go about that if the player is not submerged.

ReNo's right - you're not actually underwater. It's just lots of fog and bubbles. Sorry, I should probably have said so at the start!.
Cheers for the comments so far, keep 'em coming!
So far:-
ReNo: "Bubble trap" added - sort-of. You can now get to the top level from the bottom of the main room via bubbles.
Andrei: Good point, I'll change the render stuff and see what happens.
Pegs: Will do! I've tried to do this a bit (look carefully in the second shot and you'll see the outline of a sunken boat on top of the cliff).
BioPulse: Cheers!
Myrk: Good point. I'll get to work on this issue around the whole map
BlisTer: Not sure how I'm going to achieve the slow movement. Gravity might be an idea, but it can really screw around with gameplay. At the moment everything works as if you were above water, but looks as if you're underwater.
I'm aiming to release and submit this afternoon (that's a point, when we've submitted do we release ourselves as well?), but I'll keep updating over the rest of the summer holidays.

looks nice, especially 2nd and 3rd shot. that hangar in the 3rd shot seems to provide good gameplay. now you need to find the right balance between slow water-movement-feel yet fastpaced gameplay.

1st pic doesn't give me that feel it ought to, just doesn't feel rustic or strong. I suggest making alot more metal supports, rusty ones to fit in with the theme, and better windows in screen 1. Other than that I can't comment much without looking around the map.

looks brilliant
