The Sound in a Game

Now the class is starting to experiment with sounds. We made two projects with sound.

Sound is very important to a game. Could you play a game with music that really annoyed you? You can always turn the sound off or replace it with your own on some game systems.
Some games have really great music. One example of great music from a game is Live and Learn from Sonic Adventure 2. It is a really great song and fits perfectly in the final boss fight.

That's all for now. Later.

Class Review

Today I will review the class. I think the class has been very fun and challenging. The thing I liked the most was the drawing in flash. In contrast the thing I liked least was adding navigation and that was only the last part of it. I think the grading system works fine. I would only change the class by giving us more time.

I would recommend this class to a friend if they liked games, because this is a fun class and they can really learn a lot about computers and games. It would be a great class for someone who wants a career working with computers or technology.

That's all for now. Later.

Adding Navigation

Today I finished the adding navigation topic. The last part of the topic was kind of hard, but overall it was fun.

Here is an image that deals with the topic of our game:

I chose this image because when you think of gambling usually the first thing you think of are cards. I chose the ace of spades because it is my favorite (and luckiest) card.

That's all for now. Later.

Drawing in Flash

As of now, the team has finished drawing in flash. If you have been reading my blog, you should know by now that are game is about gambling. We didn't really learn anything new about gambling, but we learned about how long and hard it is to make scenes in flash.

That's all for now,and sorry, this post was kind of late. Later

Problems with Technology

These days technology is a major part of our lives. However our reliance on technology can sometimes hinder us.

If our printer goes out when we need to print off an important document, what can you do? Or if you need to finish a project on your computer, and it gets a virus what can you do?

These are just a few of the many problems due to relying on technology. Technology is great but society really needs to move away from being heavily dependent on technology.

Planning The Game

Today we finished planning our game. I ended up with several jobs:Project manager, Interaction designer, Visual designer, Content developer/web writer, and Programmer.

I am looking forward to creating this game, and I hope people will play it and have fun. I also hope anyone who reads this is going to play our game.

Here is a picture of the team:





That's all for now. Later.

Paper Prototype Video

Today The EliteShuffle finished the paper prototype for the game we are going to create. I recorded the video, Jamie talked about each screen, Aaron moved the pages for each screen, and David moved the characters around. Jesse was absent so he's not in the video.

Here is the video:

That's all for now. Later.
