Hello

this is my first post here but I had been lurking for a long time as I try to create my first game.

There is a great void of single player FPS games. If you consider opensource projects there is almost nothing. This drove me to make my own game. It took me a lot of time but I finally got my game running smoothly. I am happy with the gameplay but the graphics makes me cry due to being so crappy. :)

Here is an example of what I am talking about

This little guy is an enemy in my game. He is called the trooper and his role is basically like Halo grunts. He panics a lot, his aim is not great but he is a great distraction for the bigger guys who uses him as a meatshield. In a typical level you could encounter hundreds of these guys.His AI works great and he actually does most of the the things Halo grunts are capable of - including panicking and throwing grenades. But... the graphics looks terrible.

Want more ? Here is a video of the rather unfinished current state of the  game.

The graphics is pretty terrible I know but that's all I can do. I am trying to instead focus great enemy AI and physics playing a role in battles. My question to you guys is whether this level of graphics is acceptable in a free/opensource single player FPS game ?
