Evaluation

At the end of this module I feel very proud with what I have achieved given that I have never used Flash before. Even something as little as making a button play another keyframe felt like a massive achievement for me.

I feel now that I could navigate easily around flash and it no longer makes me feel sick when I look at actionscript!

I know that if I had given myself more time and attended more classes I could have achieved a much better game though, so I have learned from this and it is something which I will change during semester 2.

I would like to keep working on my game and produce a better working level.

ending screen

this is the screen which will be seen by the player once the game has been completed.


here we see freds fish being returned home safely to their mother. the idea is that the fish will swim onto the screen and be greeted while the well done text pops up.

inspiration

while doing research on my game i came across a collection of games called 'black fish'

i really liked the idea behind this and the look of it.

font used

i decided to use the font 'ninifont' which i downloaded from dafont.com

i feel it goes with the childish feel of my game and doesn't use capital letters.

gameplay

this is the beginning of my gameplay. there is no point in me posting the full thing here in images as i think you can get a feel of it from here. you will control the fish through the levels which will be fairly short.

the sign at the start will be a rollover so that the user can be reminded of the aim of the game.

update

it doesnt look as though i have a lot of development here. this is because all my flash pieces are made up of images i created a while back - i was happy with these images and think they work well in creating my game. i am very happy with the look of my game at the moment.

actionscript is one thing which is worrying me as i have never used it before. earlier in the term at one of trev's lectures my stomach turned everytime i looked at the board and saw actionscript there!! I am slowly getting the grasp of it though, most of my work has been done through looking up tutorials and following them.

loading screen

i created a loading screen which will be seen after the user presses the play button. this screen can be seen below.

after the loading screen is seen it then goes onto gameplay.
