Full Contact Debate computer game -- Play as Ron Paul!

[Harbinger]

I'm a professional software engineer by day, independent game developer by night. In one of the indie game dev communities that I frequent someone (or a team? I'm not sure) is releasing a game in a few days called Full Contact Debate.

You can play as Hillary, Obama, Huck, McCain and soon Ron Paul (after the creator posted the game he quickly became convinced that Ron Paul needed to be included and has confirmed he will be in the game ASAP).

Its free to sign up and should be available to play in a few days.

In any case, here's the site and a screenshot.

It looks fairly simple, but for some reason I think being able to run around as Ron Paul and blast Hillary, Obama and McCain in online multiplayer will be fairly entertaining.

McCain's jowls aren't nearly big enough in that image

FYI, they updated the game to include Ron Paul now.

If you can't see him in the pic above, you can go to this link: http://www.fullcontactdebate.com/wallpaper/Wallpaper1.jpg

and then hit refresh on your browser to make sure it gets the latest screenshot.

Who is in the bottom right corner?

So it is coming out today? When?

Who is in the bottom right corner?

From left to right:
Huck, Obama, Hillary, McCain, Paul

Originally they didn't even have Ron Paul in the game (funding issue), but some of us mentioned it and they quickly (in 1 day) got him added in.

All of the characters are deformed looking. It seems reasonable for an indie game.

I think the beta is supposed to be out today. Still waiting for a download to try it out myself.

It does look like they have some kind of online ranking system (by candidate and possibly by party?) and from what I've read, you play on either the side of the Democrats or Republicans, but can pick whatever character you want (for example, you could be running around as McCain but be on the Democrat team [where he likely belongs ;P]).

[LibertiORDeth]

Lol this looks like sooo much fun.

[LibertiORDeth]

Looks like he does kind of look like McCain a little bit:

Until you compare him against what McCain looks like in their game:

I think Dr. Paul is a little harder to recognize in this game because he's got almost a superman physique in that suit.

I receive an error that says:
Failed to initialize Direct3D! Make sure you have DirectX9 installed, and are running a graphics card that supports Pixel Shader 1.1.

I tried it. It's capture the flag, decent graphics and made me giggle.

There was nobody else though.

There is also an option to see polls.

I got that error too. Just Google "Directx" and the first result should be the Microsoft page to download the Directx software for free. It is pretty simple (I know it is since if I can figure it out, anyone can:p)
