Getting Tooled Up

Course Finally Got Going - real software game project

Downloaded Game Maker - tomorrow for the tutorials

Bought IPhone 4 - reminds me of my first preamp purchase - another life

Setup OSX VMWare Slice On Win7
Installed Unity And XCode  sweet
love that snow leopard

Tired of drawing very poor pictures with no teaching.

Got some motivation back. - new direction - games was what i signed up for

Kinect is coming soon loads of games on the download boil hopefully cracked xbox will work.

Playing the new Prof Layton - great - do it again but do it better they really have honed the product.

Playing red dead - random killing is great - nothing to beat a rifle shot in the nuts

playing gta on dsixl - games for adults - drugs and death and super sounds

I love the notion of games for adults - my des prtc proj


Hard hit the road today

Gaming in the fire

I had an enjoyable Ludology class playtesting.

Rudely interrupted by the fire alarm.

We playtested Opposites and I found it enjoyable. 4 of us played and played to a finish. It was the first time to have the full 4 players and it worked well. There was good conflict and play was good.
The 4 colour and the cycling through these worked well, the extra complexity added an extra dimension to the game. In the endgame i converted a large number of my counters to black (my picked colour) only to be cycled through to white at the last minute.
The new colour board worked well - the printed progression of colours was clear.
I would like to progress the game further. I have been searching for counters online, the painted money isn't the best and slightly bigger counters would be better. I think moving to an A3 print with bigger counters would be better.

Hugh was suggesting adding extra dimensions to the game, magic squares etc, but on further though i think the game has enough complexity and sometimes simplicity is better. Maybe if we get a chance to playtest on wednesday could try out options.

We then played Medieval game of conquest.
A great idea with a wonderfully designed set of instructions.
We only had a short time to play but it had great potential. With slight modifications it could work very well.

Puzzles
I am playing a lot of Professor Layton on the DSi - its interfereing with my soaps. I am getting better at the puzzles but still find them very challenging. The more i play the less frustrated at the game narrative i become. The glue to hold the puzzles together is important - i am looking forward to the new release this month.

Deadspace
I am playing a bit of deadspace, I find it so eerie - a really enjoyable play. The sluggish movement fits the style so well. I find myself so jarred by the attacks on the player and am stopped in my tracks everytime he is stabbed. The sound track is phenominal - the slow breathing is so atmospheric.

World of Warcraft - Gonna take the plunge later once i get the assignments done, "Stay away from the dark side Luke" - I think i need to take the plunge.

My Sad Chindogu


My Chindogu Failed.
Everyday use according to Paula.
I could use an open spanner everyday!!!
But hey what the hell I was trying to learn Illustrator.
I am learning and loving it.
My images and illustrations look remedial compared to others in the class.
But I am lovin it - On On and On as the HHH put it
