My first project with Dustin Emerson and Taylor Goodlett (www.goodlett.info) was our FPS, written in Java using the jMonkey SDK. Each of us contributed a significant amount of code, while Dustin and I recorded the SFX (the BGM was recorded by Dustin, as well). I created the skybox and textures using Gimp, and the models and animations using Blender.

Play the game:
In order to run the game, you must have Jave Runtime Environment installed. Extract the files to a location of your choosing, and run MyGame.jar.

Dustin's dog was the model for our corgi.

The cow was an exaggeration of a cow image found through a Google search. As we wanted to have all of the images and textures feel a bit cartoonish, this kept with the theme.

The skybox and textures were quickly whipped up in the Gimp. I was particularly pleased with the east-facing skybox panel, containing a very large and happy sun:
