Self-Reflection of a Year in Globaloria

Lay your level out in flash.

• How did designing on paper first help you with laying out your level in Flash?
• Not much because it was just a starting idea, later I ended up changing ... everything.
• What sorts of changes, if any, did you make while designing in Flash?
• Character change, similar but a little different environment.
• What decisions led you to making those changes?
• Well i'm not a very good flash drawer soo ... that made me change how the enemies and collectables would look like and how they reacted with the payer.

Create An Enemy

Well I dont plan to do anything special for my lose or win stuff in my game so I dont have much to worry about right now. I'd like to come up with something but i dont know what to put in my win lose screens.

Nuclear Weapons Protest leads to 47 arrests!

Protester gathered at Faslane Naval Base UK to protest the Trident Nuclear Weapons Programme. Trident iself is an operational system of four Vnguard class submarines armed with Trident II D-5 ballistic missiles able to deliver thermonuclear warheads. It is the most expensive and most powerfull capability af the British military forces. The Trident programme cost about 100 billion Euros that can be used for other more productive things such as jobs etc and not thermonuclear war...

Collect the Collectable

For my collectable object I could add enemies protecting them and the player could have a more difficult trying to get them. I could also have decoy collectable items and trick the player into getting them. 

Increase the Players Score

My score did not continue to increase because i'm having extensive problems with my score, it might be the code but right now i'm not really sure what the problem is. At one point my score did continue to increase, but that was because my collectible object was still there and not disappearing. 

Create a Score Counter

I think that players are more motivated when there is scoring in a game, it gets more competitive between players. Most games that I play have some kind of score. Games without score ... they are still fun. 

Creating a Collectible Object

Making a collectible object took me about 2 minutes I was not hard at all. I want to had rotating weals for the my player so it could look more realistic. I also want to add a driver moving in the player vehicle as well.

Mobile - Move the player

Moving the player was a big challenge for me because just could not get my player to move, but after working hard fixing my codes I finally got my player to work.

Programming With ActionScript3

Programming with ActionScript3 is not that hard, I find it fun pretty fun, because it's I little more difficult. What I find a bit difficult at times is that the codes have to have many things that can not be missed, or the game will not work. 

Learn About Game Paper Prototyping

My game will be fun of surprises with lots of unexpected thing.I want my game to inspire teens around the world tor realize what other teens did that got them into a lot of trouble and make sure that other teens who can drive dont make those same decisions.

Plan Game Scene

What excites me about my game is that i'll make it fun and exiting. What excites me most about my game will be that, my game will hopefully make teenagers understand that they should not get distracted while driving. I will provide lots of stuff to make people understand what they should  not be doing.

Draw the Player in Flash

The "player" in my game is you. You have to choose whether to text, call, reed, etc, while driving. The more bad things you do while driving you lose points and you risk crashing into something, or someone.
The player (you) is going to go to the store on the fist mission. Player must get to the store safely.

Paper Prototype

Making a paper prototype is not very hard at all, it dosent even take 10 minutes to do one.Gathering all my ideas then putting them on the paper is so interesting because you get to draw out a preview on how you're gonna make your game or how it's gonna look.Making a paper prototype also helped me solve lots of problems I had with my game ideas.

Draw a Background

• What were the differences between drawing on paper vs. drawing with flash?
• 
  
• Which did you like more?
• 
  
• How did creating a paper prototype first help you with using Flash?

The differences between paper and drawing on flash is that on paper you can set all your ideas for the game and put on paper.After you can  put all of those ideas on flash.On flash you have to trace your paper prototype.There is not much of a difference.

I don't like drawing on paper very much because I always end up changing a lot of stuff in flash.I'm not saying it's a bad thing but I prefer to start on flash and end in flash.Paper prototypes is a good way to start but for me it's not so great. Overall I like flash over paper.

Helping me come up with new ideas

Plan a game scene

My game will happen on the road where my player will have to pay a lot of attention 

Imagine team game.

 Player Age Group:16 to 18
    
             Skill Ability: Beginner to advanced 

What will the player learn about you're game topic? How to drive safely.

Where does your game take place?
 On the road
  
             Describe the setting: Inside a car on the road.

How does your game teach the player about your topic? By learning the thing they should not do while driving.

Mobile...Choosing a Topic

1. Big subject area: Healthy Living.

2. One really important thing I learned to do in this subject is how to live healthy.

3. Other people should learn how to live healthy.

4. I would teach them how to do this by telling them what healthy stuff to eat, do...etc.

5. Summary of my narrow game topic in five words or less "How to live very healthy."

Mobile

* How were these games were designed specifically for their devices?
Because they where created just for them.
* Of the games on both mobile and console, which games do you think did a better job of transitioning from a console game to a mobile game?
Sonic
* How would you design one of these games differently?
I would re-design it would be sonic...well i would have an options screen where you can change the speed of sonic to make some players more attracted to the game because they can know play the game and not be some pro who can see all the coins everywhere.

Play Station 4

The PS4 is gonna be the best thing that will happen for gamers this 2013.The Graphics are just amazing and the controllers look amazing!.I cant wait for it and i just dont have any words to explain how exited I am.

Black History Month

I'm gonna make my game about Lonnie Johnson...

Lonnie G. Johnson a famous black inventor and scientist the inventor of the super soaker din't necessarily have it in mind when inventing and creating it.
Lonnie worked for the Air Force and NASA.Johnson had a novelty water gun powered by air pressure.After many experiment he had finally created the "Super Soaker!."

Present your Hidden Object game

I made a game about viruses and bacteria and how it affects us humans.I added 10 of the most common viruses that humans get today to my game.The objective is to find them and click on them for them to die, and as a reward you get a nice fact.The research I did for my game was simple, just looking up on google about viruses and how it affects humans.My ideas changed when I presented and was told to change about 90% of my game.The help center had no use to me because I only had a few issues with coding that I resolved myself.
