Hope you all have a merry Christmas

The game is just about finished now apart from the reset and restart buttons which i would like to try and figure out how to use these.

I might post the fla on my site soon over christmas. For now im just going to let you know what is does and little bit into how. (more…)

I have been working on making a toolbar for firefox and it has been quite a challenge from using XUL files to learning Asynchronous Javascript but the toolbar is finally working but it wont be launched until next year as i will be developing the website to go with it. Stay tuned

As part of the Design for Entertainment Systems module I have written a critique on Viral games.

You can read the Viral Games critique on the site or here is the pdf version to read at your leisure.

I decided to write about viral games to help with the module as I am the one responsible for my teams marketing including the viral game or Advergame but also to help me understand the background to these games because I would like to make more in the future.

Let me know what you think of the critique either on here or please use the contact form – Thanks

Here is the first idea of our viral marketing game prototype that i made as part of our Design for Entertainment module. It was to bring the idea of the controllers inertia and have the ball rolling around the maze. We have discussed this and we are now looking at making a different type of viral game. We want to think more about what we are marketing and see if we can link the game with the “hook” we are using.
