Boom!

Boom! that was my project for today! I drew the boom screen to our game! Yes, i know, this is a very easy task but i still did it so i dont care! Jessica worked on our title screen and Andrew, who is REALLY good at drawing on the computer was working on one of our characters. I think that our game is going to look really awesome when its all put together. Now for a change of subject! I keep forgetting to do my learning log! gosh! I hate doing that thing, and i ALWAYS forget about it! oh well, just gotta in in practice i guess. Well, i really dont have much more to blog about so, I'm just cut it here before i talk about more random nonsense. Later

Flash vs Console

Well the topic for todays blog is to compare my favorite flash game to my favorite console game. Picking of the two which one would be my favorite (console game) is really a no brainer. But deciding what my favorite of each is a bit more difficult. For flash, I'm going to have to go with The Cost of Life game which was on the wiki. I really liked playing this game, even though I could never master it. And for console i would have to say my favorite game is Madden 08 for my ps2, though this is a very hard choice.

Well these games are very different in many ways. For one, they are totally different genres. The cost of life is a life simulation game, which really reminds me of the sims, except, a lot harder, and the other is a sports game. They also have very different animation. The Cost of Life is just a 2-D game with cartoon like characters where as Madden is 3-D and tries to make the players as real looking as possible. Something alike though is that in The Cost of Life you have to follow a certain story line as you have to do in the Superstar mode of Madden.

These two games are very different in many ways but have a little bit of simularity, and of course them both being fun games that I like is one of them. But Madden definitely beats out any flash game I will probably ever find. Sorry flash!

Reseach!

21 days of Christmas =P

Well I'm finally back to school after being out of school for 21 days because of Christmas break and never ending snow days =P And let me tell you, I'm have definitely not settled back in to my schedule yet. Getting up in the morning is not very easy after sleeping in till 11 for 21 days. And as for remembering school work from before break, yeah right! So today is like my, getting back into the flow of things day, aka, I'm probably not going to get much done. But even though I am extremely tired and ready to go home and just be lazy, I'm going to try to focus on looking up info on MTR removal and working on my teams game design. Wish me luck! Later

Snow Day!!! =D

Well I was suppose to be doing this in class today but because of the 16 or more inches of snow outside, there was no school today. But I like blogging form home better anyway. I can listen to my iPod full blast while i do it =P Anyway, so last class we had a type of meeting in a sense with the leaders from the World Wide Workshop Foundation. We talked with them over the phone and explained to them our paper prototype and told then about our games ideas. They gave us some really good suggestions back and some info about things we might want to research on. The info they gave us i think will definitely come in handy. Overall I think that our game idea is really starting to take shape, if we could only figure out what to do about the against side. Hopefully that will start to become a little more clear soon. Till next time, later!

Finally!

So guess what! Our paper prototype is now up on our wiki! whoo! It is pretty much completed, we just didnt have our control or help screen up yet but who needs those anyway right? Anywho, i think our game is going to be really awesome. I like the ideas we are coming up with and I think they are all going to come together very nicely. For today we are going to work on our teams wiki and start assigning roles for who to do what in the building process of the game. After we get this done I think we will be well on our way to creating a pretty awesome game =]

Paper Prototyping

So my team has started working on our paper prototyping of our game. We have drawn our title screen, our three loading screen, and two of our game play screen. Plus a small explosion scene! I think it looks really awesome so far! I'm really excited about my teams game. All of our ideas seem to be coming along very well. I can't wait till we get to start putting our actual game together! =]
