Captains Blog Stardate 12022011 Adding Sound

Our game will have several sounds. There will be punch sound effects when the bullies catch our hero. There will be a bell sound effect when the protagonist is late to class. There will be background music throughout the game. As  you can see, we'll use alot of sound. It will enhance the learning value by keeping players engaged.

This is Daniel , he's a friend of ours, and the main character of our game is named after his first name. It is not however based on him.

Captains Blog Stardate 12012011 Assembling Your Demo

Whilst making this demo I've learned alot about bullying. It's a scary topic. Some kids have even killed themselves. It doesnt stop when schools over. Cyber bullying can be just as cruel.

Whilst looking at the blogging requirements I realized that it doesn't say the links of pictures have to be relevant to the topic of the blog, so...

Here's a link to an article about GW's Improv Comedy Team

My Comment on Jarret's Blog

Here's a link to a personal appeal from Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales.

Captains Blog Stardate 11212011 Thanksgiving!

My Thanksgiving day plan is to eat with my family in Beckley. We've been doing this for the past several years. We eat all the classic Thanksgiving foods, turkey, stuffing, mashed potatos, etc. On my 3 days off (aside from thursday) I will be rehearsing/performing in Mary The Rock Opera. Here's a website about it ! You should come see it, it's AWESOME!!!Here's a video of a preview performance we did at the mall!

This is Sarah and Jonathan who play Mary And Joseph. You may know the Nativity Story, but you've never seen it like this before (unless you've seen Mary before, it's an annual show)

Captains Blog Stardate 11202011 Munchkins and Adding Scenes

Wizard Of Oz Munchkin Dies

Karl had a cruel father, who didn't understand that dwarfism was an incurable condition, so he attempted really primitive and torturous cures. Obviously they didn't work. Karl's father was probably scared of things   that were different, so he wanted him to be taller. If I were Karl's father I would have treated Karl like a normal kid. If I had been Karl I would have called CPS.

Here's the story this is based on

This is a picture of some of the munchkins (including Karl) on the Walk Of Fame

Adding Scenes

We are including video scenes that help us tell our story. Ayiti uses story telling well. It does this with slides and pictures that say what's happening to your family. Tesla Adventure tells a story. It has different scenes, and they tell a complete story.

This is a dog wearing Scuba Gear

It has nothing to do with the topic, but the required blogs page doesn't say the picture has to be relevant, and I couldn't think of a picture that fit this topic. I just thought it was funny.

Captains Blog, Stardate 11112011 (Robotic Guide Dog Blog)

A robotic dog wouldn't be distracted as easily as a real dog. However, a real dog has intuition that a robot wouldnt have. A real dog also gives affection, something technology can never replicate. If I needed a seeing eye dog I would get a real one. I sure wouldn't use my own pet dog, he'd probably lead me straight into oncoming traffic at the first sign of bacon.

PICTURES!

This is a picture of a robotic toy dog. I owned one of these when I was little! Although these arent anything like the dogs talked about in the news story, this blog reminded me of them.

Captains Blog, Stardate 11112011 (Developing A Primary Game Scene)

Developing A Primary Game Scene Blog

One flash topic we are using in our game is collision detection. When the victim touches the items, they appear in his inventory. When the bully touches the victim, the items AND the victim all return to their original positions. Our game will be educational, because it shows real situations. It will improve when we add our video cutscenes. These show a story while also presenting facts about bullies!
