Adding Animation

The animation needed for our game was basically some simple physics and we got the idea from playing playing different cannon games which is what our game was based on.  So for some inspiration a link i have chosen goes to Ragdoll Cannon 2, enjoy.http://armorgames.com/play/2032/ragdoll-cannon-2

The Plan

Over the next four weeks I'm going to be going back through and adding a little more life to our game than what is at the current moment. I will also be adding in a few more scenes and trying to wrap the rest of our game up. From their we can add anything else to it that we would like. I will probably add in a credits page sometime after finishing and anything else will just be for show.

It's the start of a new month and it's friday!

This week i was mostly absent due to fbla competitions and track so I didn't get a whole lot done but we managed to link our main game scene up with the othters  i had previously begun and we are currently indev of the other game scenes but so far it's not looking too bad.

3/25/11 Friday is HERE!!

It's friday, which means it's almost saturday, and the weekend is finally arriving! This week I actually accomplished quite a bit in my game, I managed to get 8 scenes working so far and currently don't have any issues. The animation is still basic and I haven't put a whole lot of effort into our character Rowan's design but before the final work is submitted I think I will be able to edit him and make some of the scenes better.

so far this week

so far this week we fixed our hitTest problems, and everything seems to be running a lot smoother. Croix is still working on the main scene trying to get objects to patrol certain areas. So today I start working on the next scene of our game and possibly a tutorial.

Hit Test Fail?

I have been working on our game a lot recently while trying to keep our team page and projects updated but we have been running into some considerable problems with only 45 min classes. Anyways I have been working on a hit test that just doesn't seem to work. If anyone reading this has anything to help post a comment under it. I am trying to get my game to go to the next scene once it hits a certain object and i have tried a few different codes but nothing seems to work any ideas would be appreciated.

My Biggest challenge

This week has actually been pretty grueling. I finally managed to get all the in game scenes produced so far to link together but then I had an unexpected error in my action script requiring my character to move with the arrow keys. I think I spent the most time yet just trying to fix this action script but new challenges await as my hit test in my new frame does not seem to respond. I think this is going to be my biggest challenge so far fixing all my action script.

This Weeks Problems

This week I encountered a lot of problems with our game. I could get everything to work at my house but not here at school... and I just didn't know why well a couple days ago croix found that our publisher setting was on 3.0 not 2.0 and that ended up being a major problem. Along with that our instances and buttons did not seem to always work correctly. Hopefully now that everything is fixed we will have less trouble in the future...even though i highly doubt it.

Weeks progress

This week I've mad a good bit of progress I have linked my title screen to croix's instruction screen and I started scene 3 and croix has started scene 4 of our game. We both now have a more indepth look at flash by watching instructional videos so we should be able to make our game run better. Wish us luck!

Here's Our Video Blog

This is our video Blog about our game enjoy!

Random Post

I'm slightly bored and have a mild hedache so I really don't feel like doing a whole lot so heres a blog :) Today we are continuing working on our game but we have decided to take a break today and just play games for inspiration instead. Resuming Game work tomorrow. :D

Video Blog Coming soon

Due to snow days and no school we haven't accomplished as much as we first hoped to but we will have more game scenes coming soon. Along with our video blog.

First game scene!

It's been awhile since I blogged so I will now catch everyone up to date.  So far we have successfully finished our game title screen and our paper prototype. Croix is now working on our instructions screen and I am am starting our first scene of gameplay. Assuming that everything goes right and our computers don't malfunction because there cruddy school computers and they don't have enough ram  to run Adobe Flash properly!!!! Anyways enough of my ranting about these stupid computers we are going to *attempt* to accomplish a few more scenes in the next few weeks.
