This is a thread for posting anything interesting you come across, since these links have been getting kind of lost inside the General Smack Talk thread.
EPIC CLUSTERFUCK!

I'll start the ball rolling with a few:

Tigger-ON's 10 year finally finished project, made in the Doom3 engine and based off Quake:

Here's one that caught my eye a while back but I never tried, a FPS mech game that's just gone open beta:

7 Day FPS Challenge, basically a bunch of devs try to make as best a FPS as they can in 7 days

I wonder how good an FPS you can make in 7 days.

I think in the 7 Day Roguelike events, they had to code them from scratch - this here is completely different since they can basically use existing tech & tools and probably also existing assets. It's more like a cooking challenge really.

Yeah, I think the idea here isn't really making something as complete as possible.
More to use the time limit to experiment with exotic mechanics and try to push the boundaries of what an FPS can be...

Funny how they got George Broussard in the video... explaining how to finish a game  :P
