Final Project Assessment

The status of my final project is from my viewpoint incomplete because of scripting concerns. I Think that this game will have a lot of potential when I get everything the way I want it. But it the manner of self critique, my game has issues with the monster animations and the final stage. I haven't yet figured out how to code my ending or winning scene. The sound element of the project is still problematic because I'm still incorporating sounds and music. The weapon selection aspect is still problematic because of scripting as well. I think that after these major problems are resolved the game will be awesome. I intend to fix these problems by getting help with coding from a friend who has flash experience.

Over this weekend I've been able to start on the animation process of my project. It's kind of weird animating, so I'm just focusing on my boss character at the end since I want him to be highly interactive. I've tried to solve earlier problems concerning my opening page and the transition page, which I think has worked out ok for now. As of now and where I stand with this project, I need to go through and script the project the right way using if/ and statements and I need to sharpen up and solve my animation glitches. For the most part everything is designed and imported into flash for me to manipulate them. I don't know how I will get my monsters to come out of my secret hiding spots.

Assignment Write-Up

For the homework we had to start scripting and animating our final projects. I got as far as the opening scene where the user will have different options concerning the setup of the game. I'm still working on the blender which from my standpoint will take and need some extra attention. Everything else that I'm trying to do is going according to planned schedule except for the view screens that come up when the user is setting up the the game. I'll have to redesign them.

Assignment Write-Up

So, for the sound project over the weekend I came up with the idea to make up this interactive game that doesn't have a true end. Basically, the user is allowed to hit targets on a punching bag and hear these crazy sounds that I created, to give the bag feelings. All audio was made by me, so the project was actually pretty fun to gather raw materials, until the coding started. I had a real hard time scripting my project because some things would work with certain circumstances while others would just not compromise. The targets are hard to hit, so have fun getting to hear all the crazy soundz I came up with.

Assignment Part 1- Due 4/8

I went to this website called Mouse Jam where the user gets this track that plays, but they also get this options to add to track that's playing with small sound movie clips that play when the user releases the button. I think that this would be an excellent way to solve the problem of creating a project that takes control of the tools taught in class last class. Now this website was really cool. What gets me is how the creator simplified their piece to a really simplistic approach to engage the user. It was really a quite simple approach that draws the user in. For instance, when I clicked on a link he had all the sounds play through so, I would know what my options sound like then the dominant track plays for about 4 minutes allowing the user to play along and add to the original track with their own creativity. Plus, the website had many different types of mixes to choose from, so I found myself wanting to visit each link.

Audio assignment- write up

For this assignment we had to utilize the audio techniques that where gone over in class last Tuesday. Well, I basically continued on my last project with the tattoos by basically adding music in the windows that the tattoo and the video screen is in to give the viewer a little extra enthusiasm about placing the tattoo on themselves. Nothing real fancy was added on for this project except the music, which happens to be of metal genre. I had another idea for doing this project but once I started working on the project I realized that I had some gaps in my understanding of how to use the music in action script. So, I really kept this simplified to get the the job done, and I have some questions.

Project write up

For this project I wanted to give the user the unseen opportunity to see what a tattoo will look like on their body before they would actually get it. This project was intended to be highly interactive and fun to do. I am curious to see who actually will pull their shirt up or take their clothes off to get the whole feel of the project.
