Bouncing Ball

The 'bouncing ball' is the animator's equivalent of the programmer's 'hello world'. If you take any animation class or tutorial, this is the first thing you would do. I decided to share my newbness on my blog because why not. It's my blog, and I'll talk about balls if I want to, I'll talk about balls if I want to.

My Cyber Unicorn Proposal

Tittle : My Cyber Unicorn

Description :

     My Cyber Unicorn will be a platform/puzzle flash game played on the PC. The game is set in the modern world, more specifically the working office environment. However, the game really begins once players delve into the psychology of several distinct individuals. The main character, controlled by the players will become 'trapped' inside a 'dream' and traverse the dreamscape of his fellow co-workers, until he can find a way out. Along the way, he will encounter challenges specific to that certain co-worker based on their personality or behavior, the cause of it all, and perhaps a solution if their behavior is negative or destructive.

Some Preliminary Sketches (click to enlarge):

Objectives and Scope :

     The objective of the game is to complete a level and go to the next level. As mentioned earlier, this will be a platformer and puzzle game. There will be jumping and running, challenging mind games, as well as a scoring system.

     There will be four main levels that will branch into sub-levels. The amount of sub-levels per level is to be decided. Bonus levels will be considered if the available resources and constraints are adequate.

     Another focus of the game is the story line. It is one of the key aspect that will hopefully set this game apart and make it 'unique'.

Outcome of the Project :

     The outcome of the project will be a working 2D flash game playable on this blog, or as a flash movie (.exe). Submission to flash portals such as Newgrounds and Kongregate will be considered as well.
