Game Progress

Our game progress is going real slow right now, however, it is consistant. Right now Holly is feverishly working to get all of our equipment done for the game by using the flash trace tool. Hopefully, this week we will begin our code work and redesign the direction page becuase of some major changes we made throughout the game process. I am working on watching flash tutorials on flash code in the game realm. If we can not finish the game by the end of school, we have a good start to leave it for next years class. I fell that it is a winning game topic.

Career Chances

Before we began Globaloria this year, we were told the career opertunities that we could have. One being a wiki designer and a a flash code writer. This could also be expounded beyond Globaloria, this could also be a web based company needing a site designer, or even a graphic desingner because of the work we do on Flash. Hollie would be really good at this, because she is one of the best designer's we have in the class, besides the fact that she can not save the work after she completes it.

Flash Sounds

So far we are working on incorporating sounds into our game tonnage. So far we have got the sound for our locker. We actually went out into the hallway and opened and slammed a school locker. Hopefully I can get some more sounds that are associated with the coal mines, such as equipment and workers.

Flash

Flash has been by far the most difficult task so far in Gloabaloria. We had a great loss in the class last week, our greatest flash coder Jay switched out of class. That has left us almost helpless, but everyone is stepping up to the plate and learning everything we need to know to do it right. The flash tutorials on the wiki and the ones we have, have been tremendously helpful on certain areas that we need it for. Some of these areas include flashing screen and collision. I believe with a little more practice we should all be better at it. The trace tool in flash has been my favorite tool to use and most helpful.

Trace Tool on Flash

I was the first successful one in my Globaloria class to find and use the trace tool in Flash 2.0. Up to this point in the course it has been my favorite thing to use. Hollie and I have been working on getting our first playable scenes up and running. All in all it is all going well.

Flash

Flash has been the most difficult task so far. I really believe that this will take more work than we have time. Hollie is doing a great job of desinging our game start page. Looks really good so far, My neighbor Jay and I have been watching and reading tutorials about coding flash.

Paper Prototyping

Our paper prototyping went pretty good, it gave us an understanding of our work ahead of us. I believe it will be difficult to design, but all in all, it went very well.
