Posting the Beginning of Our Game

This week school was closed for a couple days but the days that I was in class I edited the game and got input from the people in my class to add to the game or fix some gramar errors. I am still editing it so that you no longer have a mouse. You will have a scope or cross hairs even on the main menu.

Starting Our Game

This week I was still working on animation but when I had trouble getting one to work I would take some time to work on the first few frames of our game. I added two options on the main menu in which you can click to either learn how to play our game or the other navigates you right to the "obesity facts page" followed by the page where you chose your weapon. There is still a few things to work on but this was a good start.

First Week of November

This week Im going to keep trying things out in flash. Im going to try to learn more about layers and when to use them to make my ideas for my game work.

This week we worked on creating animations to post on our projects page. It took me a little while to get my tweening to work until I found that I needed to create a new layer to get it to work. This experience will help me in the future to help me put a background in my game. I now have my animation on my projects page all the way at the bottom. Check it out!

Working With Flash

We just got done recording our paper prototypes on camera and now we have been working with flash and learning about layers to create animations. This will take some time to learn and get used to but it will be fun and useful in creating our game.

Paper Prototype

This week we are working on our paper prototype on the game of out choice. We chose the game where you shoot obese people with healthy food to make them lose weight. We are going through all of the screens that will be in the game and recording them on paper. This will help us in the future because we wont have to try to remember what we wanted to do. We will have it all written down in order for each click in the game.

Trying Flash

I downloaded the 30 day trial of flash. I messed around with it and watched tutorials on youtube.com and made a short game. I tried it out and it didnt seem to tswork like in the tutorial. Im going to keep trying to learn before my class gets flash so that I can help anyone that needs it. Ill probably try again this evening lol.

Back To Another Week

Last week me and Chris were working on making ideas for games in 4 subjects (education, environment, poverty, and Health). We are still thinking but I think we get to start making our game this week.

2nd blog

Whisman is now my partner in my globaloria class. We have about three ideas for our game that we are going to start creating next week. The game has to have social content so we decided to make one on China's overpopulation problem, helping hungry people by shooting them with food, or helping puppies get off of buildings after a hurricane.
