Ta-daaaah!

Hello again everybody! After quite a long sabbatical from blogging (shame on me!), here I am again to share the wonders of Flash Game class and what I'm learning. First off, the paper prototype was pretty much a success, and I'm busy busy busy today in class. A lot of loose ends are to be tied up today. Right now, a lot of thought and planning are going into my game. The paper prototype video should help demonstrate how my game works.

So, without further ado...

Next up should be another post on my research topic... for those of you who don't remember, it's about the history and evolution of RPGs. That will probably be published at some point today or this evening. Feels great to be blogging again!

Everyone Knows I'm In Over My Head!

Well, here I am in Flash Games class after a day off on Thursday for a meeting, and I found out some rather unsettling news. The game based on Animal, Vegetable, Miracle that has been my assignment all semester is approaching its kickoff--fast! I'm not too worried, since I already blogged a few months ago about my idea for the game. I'm sticking with my Vegetannual quiz game idea, and I hope it works. The biggest problems I can see ahead are writing the questions and answers and programming the game. I already learned how to make a simple action game, but I have the feeling that making an interactive quiz might be more difficult.

A week from today, the paper prototype is due. Paper prototyping is just what it sounds like: the game concept mapped out on sheets of paper. I was confused about it at first, but after watching the helpful video, the idea made a much more sense. Here's hoping I can do this, and keep my cool!
