Adding Sound

We watched videos on how to add sound. I learned a lot. Such as, how to add sounds to the game. It helped me a lot. I'm not entirely sure of what sounds to use for our game yet. When we do add sound, it will make the game more interesting, and fun to listen and play. Sound is important in games, because it's what makes the game more interesting, fun, and enjoyable, because it's not that boring. I'm not sure what games have good sounds in them, I don't usually play a lot of games. I think that adding sounds will be easy.

Working With Flash

I thought that the live session with Meredith was really interesting. I learned a lot more about flash, and how to use it better. I'm getting a better general idea on what I do for the game. I learned a variety of details on flash. Such as, how to make a game skeleton, use different codes, etc. For making the skeleton, overall it was hard, but not difficult. Actually it was kind of easy. It was hard, because it was just really confusing, and you can mess everything up very easily. Which can cause you to get mad and stressed. It was easy, because Mrs. Forinash helped us with all of it and went step by step through everything. You can see my game skeleton by clicking on this link below.

I'm looking forward to be using flash. I think it will be challenging, yet easy.

Team Game

Our team game is called Paint Your Own Room. You can choose a color to paint a room, and determine how much the paint will cost to cover the square footage of that room. I think it's going good. Flash is getting easier. So far I haven't done anything, because I was absent. I'll be working on it soon.

Teams

My role is the artist/visual expert. I'm good at this because I listen to a lot of music and used to working on different projects that involve using that type of stuff. No, I did not have any disagreements with my team. We all agree on pretty much everything. I look forward to designing the game and use the different animations. The inspiration for our game was that we all know and understand area. I think that as we go on, we'll create a good game.

Paper Prototyping

Today, Shaina, Triston, and I made our team video. I didn't really like anything specific about it. I think that our game will be very educational though. I think that it will all work out.

Game Comparison

No, I do not play any games on my free time. I usually just go on facebook or myspace. The game that we're making now is more educational then any game I've played.

Team Expectations

My team name is Team Blue. The members in our team are Shaina and Triston. I think we will make a good game. Overall we couldn't really think of any good ideas. I think the roles that were chosen for each other will be good for our game. I think that Shaina will be a good game designer. The game idea that my team is focusing on is area. Yes, all of the team members were in agreement with this. I don't really know who is a good artist, but I think that anyone on the team could be good at it. I'm pretty sure we all are good at finding resources, and confident with using flash. I think that we will make a descent game. It will be fun, but maybe a little bit confusing.
