Hi!
I think the name of this blog is pretty self explanatory and since you are probably my teacher or someone else I know who is reading this, I won't bother to explain it in much detail. I'm planning on making it a bit like an agenda/journal to remind me to do things and to sum up the stuff that I managed to get done.
Basically, for my GUI culminating, I'm planning on making a chose your own adventure game that has aliens, green goo, kidnapped family members plus a dog and of course, GUIs.
I was thinking of not making it from a birds-eye-view although I think I should since I have to include arrays and ... yeah. I have to think of some other way to put them in.
But I wanted to make it like the user will be walking through the story as the character, so they see everything from "street view" and if they see something (i.e a map) they can click on the graphic or .png, and they will be able to pick it up. After that, I have no idea what they'll do.
Maybe each scene will be a panel within the same frame and they just keep clicking on something in the room that will lead them to another one? I'll think more of that later...for now, each scene is a separate...something.
The story so far (without the chose-your-own bit)...
You live in a family of four: your mom, your dad, your little brother, and your poodle. One day, your mother told you to go to the corner store to buy a bag of milk. Being the responsible child you are, you go and buy the milk.
Coming back, you find out that aliens have abducted your family to an unknown location!
You've decided that it's up to you to save them. So, you follow the trail of goo that the aliens who kidnapped your family left behind and found that it led to High Park. As the sun was setting, you have to rely on your human eyes to look for the goo. You'd think that the aliens would try to hijack a car if they were carrying three people plus an annoying pink poodle named Elephanté. But everyone has their own methods, so you don't dwell on it.
There! You find the aliens and their flying saucer called GUI Munsta.
You hide behind the bushes. You see them loading a crate labelled SGNIL HTRAE. (EARTHLINGS). When they turn their backs, you sneak into the flying saucer through another entrance since they already closed the other ones. You hide beneath the covers as the doors slide shut. Then when you realise that you're flying, you come out of your hiding place. But there's just one problem.
You don't know where you or your family are.
But look, there's a map on the floor! So you pick it up and locate yourself. Sadly, it looks like the flying saucer has a lot of rooms to go through. What do aliens put in those rooms anyways?
....and that's all I have for now! Time to do my history homework.
You should make it an American Eskimo instead of a poodle! Jks, jks.
ReplyDeleteThis blog is much better than mine! My first post says HAI!...to you! :o
Aaahh! But if I make it an American Eskimo the aliens might think it's too cool and would want to keep it for themselves!
DeleteOhh :O
DeleteNOOOOO! :(
CHILLLYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Don't die :'(
I haven't decided what they'll do to them... Hm... so yeah. Who knows? Mwahahahhaaaaaa
Delete:'( Noooooooooooooooo
DeleteIt's up to you, the user, to decide what to do... the wrong choice will result in the ultimate sacrifice.. *coughcough hinthint dog being dyed orange*
DeleteO_O
DeleteORANGE DOG?!?!??!?!?!?? GAH? :O WHAT COLOUR IS THE POODLE ORIGINALLY?
Sounds like the adventure game that I wrote last year, haha. But not really. Well, yes, kind of, I think so...YEAH! XD There was a random wizard standing 'round and you had a choice of talking to him or not. Then there was a random number generator and if you went up to him, if it was an odd number, he killed you. If it was an even number, you were friends XD
But a lot of the time(s) that I tried it, it was an odd number, and I kept dying O_O D;
Oh that sucks! I'll remember to not leave it up to chance then.
DeleteI believe that the poodle was originally pink. So... being orange probably won't bother him/her TOO much.
Hopefully.
Maybe not.
No idea how Ryk marked it w/out dying a couple million times...
DeleteOh...hmm, pink poodle. Scary looking dog xD
Well good luck I guess.
DeleteReally? I think they just seem interestingly colourful.
