Progress

This week, is the first week we've really started on our game.

  We done all of our research, and began on our title scene. I personally think it turned out good! We looked at tons of pictures of the Tiatnic so we could get all the details right and make it as realistic as possible for the player.

  We uploaded it, along with a few more things, to our team page so everybody could see. Since we knew how to do it, we helped our friends, also.

  Today, we began working on our info scene and making a few of the buttons work on the title scene. We had to do more research to give accurate information.

  Next week, we plan to have at least half of our first level done, along with the "instructions" scene. Then, we'll upload them to our team page too. We look forward to a great game!

Hidden Objects - Flah

We had to create a hidden objects game; A hidden objects game is a educational (in this case) game were objects are hidden, and you must find them.

  Mine was about treasure. You must FIND the shovel and then you dig down to the key and FIND it, and then the treasure.

  Besides last year, this was the first time using flash, especially for this subject.
 
  The codes were very easy, and there were a ton of possibilites for this. You could simpley do a forest or a park, and do it in maybe a days time! It's fun AND  easy! (:

Paper Prototype

Paper Prototypes are a great way to visualize your game before any coding is actually introduced. You get to plan it out and be creative with a sheet of paper and crayons/makers.
 
We are able to create scenes using school materials. It's really simple and we get to be our most creative and use fun items. My partner and I took turns drawing out each scene, but had each others imput so our game was created by both of us. It was really fun!

  When it is time to finally begin working on our game, we are able to use our paper prototypes. It really helps, too. Because, we've had time to improve it all, and come up with better ideas and game skills.
