Game Description

For my game I decided to change it up from the last post. I made it more challenging and this is a complete level. From my original level I had to change it up because classmates said was too challenging and could not get past the level. I decided to make the game not too easy, nor too hard.

Personally I love challenging games but not everyone loves those. A lot of people will/would rage with a challenging game, most will even rage quit.

I chose to do the Platform as a Zig-Zag because it gives it different environments  and different challenges. some are easier than others but the whole level is very challenging. I am not quite sure if I am going to keep it this easy because to some gamers it might not be as much as a challenge like it would to a person that does not play games as much.

I think I need more challenges  and difficulties because I find this game too easy for me. This assignment is very fun and complicated. I enjoy making this game level because I've always wanted to make my own game. 

Flash Animated Stickman

             

We will learn and demonstrate the skills to animate a simple walk cycle using keyframes to motion tween on the timeline.During the past 3 weeks, we had learn this new program called Adobe Flash. Our teacher gave us instructions on how to do it and I had to follow step by step. It was a 28 step process, in that process I ran into some trouble with the ground not moving along. Finally I got it by retracing my steps and re-reading the instructions. For the past 3 weeks I worked on this projected about one hour a day. Now that I know how to use this program it's a lot easier and faster to use.

The most important tool for 2D animation is the Bone tool. The bone tool is an inverse kinematics (IK) tool with which one can create armatures for shapes or connected symbols instances. These armatures connect objects or parts of shape in a hierarchical tree. These parts can be called bones or limbs. A short cut to get to the bone tool faster is by pressing "M" while being on Adobe Flash. The most important tools to bring my character to life is by using the bone tool and also using the time line. on the time line you have to add a pose to every 8 seconds to make it move smoothly.

I was excited to learn about animated motion and doing projects with Adobe Flash. I've always wanted to learn and create cartoons and animation. So far this has been my favorite project and I have to admit, it was a hard process but after learning the process, it was a fun assignment. In conclusion I now know how to demonstrate the skills to animate a simple walk cycle using keyframes to motion tweens on the time line.I now look forward to making more.

Gamefroot Progress

Hello guys, My name is Byron and If you guys keep up with my blog you guys know I am creating a game. So far my progress in this game is not very far. I'm not quite sure how I am going to do my first level yet. So far I've designed my character and part of my level. You can also try to create your own game in a web site called Gamefroot.com

My character 

My level so far.

Burrito Bison Revenge 

For this game the point is just to get as far as possible. The more gummy bears you squash the more money you get. When you have enough money you can upgrade your bison so he is stronger and faster. The feather you get the more money you get.  You can upgrade multiple stuff that will make your bison stronger and better. 

I rate this game a 8/10

What is Motion Design

Today's assignment includes researching and defining 2D motion concepts. According to wikipedia,Motion graphic design is a subset of graphic design in that it uses graphic design principles in a filmmaking or video production context (or other temporally evolving visual medium) through the use of animation or filmic techniques.

Motion graphics is the term used for all different types of graphic movements, including 3D elements, cell animation, stop motion animation, digital video, film and many other types of motion graphics. The designer of these graphics provides information through the graphic while guiding the readers through a story in some way. Motion graphics aren’t just for Internet use; they can also be used on TV and film.

The main difference between motion graphics and infographics is that motion graphics use animation while infographics are text-only. Infographics also have their own set of benefits when they’re done well. They work by combining different colors, styles, images and layouts to attract attention and provide the reader with valuable information.Motion graphics are also commonly combined with audio in their graphic styles.

Now that I know what motion design really is I am very excited to get started on this project/class exam. some examples that I can create with this program are: 

• 2D animated short films
• Apps
• Advertisement 
• Movie Trailer
• Game Intro/ Trailer 
• 2D Cartoon
• White Board Animation
• Animated Infographic
