Experiences in Flash

It was cool drawing in flash. It allowed me think more on the look of my characters as I traced my paper prototype. I added my own tweaks here and there to my original drawings to give it a cooler look. Mostly i've been using the pencil and brush tools for the drawings by I plan on using the pen tool in an animation I'm working on. Overall flash wasn't too hard to figure out and navigating it was easy considering I'm very familar with Photoshop.

Paper Prototyping

I thought in a way this was a good method to prepare your idea and layout it out so not only you could see what it might look like but others as well. This helped layout what the game would be like for me because my vision of the game is a full 3D action rpg with quick flowing action battles and lots of stuff going on at once. So this helped me put it in a more realistic perspective for this class. Fortunately the paper prototyping didn't cause me change too much, but it did allow me work out some of the kinks on how the combat would work and sparked some ideas for how the story would progress as well. So far the game is as I originally planned story wise except now I've thought of some more to add to it and back story also and that's my blog for today. Keep checking it out, there's more to come.
