A late update

I thought I'd write what I did last week when we started on the game since I didn't create the blog until today. This game is a part of a school project, and we are told to use flash with actionscript 3.0 to create it. As I am totally blank when it comes to Flash, the first days with flash didnt exactly go smooth.

I started working on the story the day we got the case. As for now, this is what I came up with:

RUNNING MADMAN

Character:

Running madman
Feats: speed, shield, growing pies.
Level ups?

Features: Different weapons, action packed speed adventure

Must have: Easy world (not too much obstacles), fast moving speed,

Mål: Gather cookies

History: A person finds a bomb shelter and locks himself up by a mistake. After having lived in a bomb shelter for years, growing mad by only eating cans of expired beans, a great earthquake torns the doors apart. The man is finally free from the hellish beaneating life. His one goal is to feel the sweet taste from delicious cakes, and kill every beanlooking creature he can find. Rumors (in his head) tells him about a great bean-king that must be exterminated for the good of the planet.

I didnt have any problems coming up with ideas to this game. What I do have problems with, however, is about the capabilities and limits of the software I am using and how fast I learn. I also had to redraw my character with pen-tool, to minimize the aumont of vector-points. The game is going to be a fast paced shooter, and I dont even know where to begin.

I smell problems ahead.
