New Project

I've just started a new project just for fun.  I've just started creating some sprites for a new game.  This game will be an action adventure with a top down view (kind of like zelda for nes).  But I think the overall objective will be to just survive.  I've just started brainstorming so alot may change, but I think the main character will be stranded on an island and you will have to travel around collecting whatever you can find and surviving. I want to implement some kind of currency used to trade with maybe a local native or just someone you run into that is also stranded. Well I'm excited to keep working on this, I'll update when I get more done...

Presentation

We gave our presentations today in front of a few teacher figures and for Globaloria representatives.  I think I did ok with mine.  I didn't complete the game but I got it working and built the whole first level and all the intro cinematic sequences up to and right after that point.  Overall, I think I did pretty well.  I will continue to work on Wamboosa in my spare time and try to implement some more ideas into the game.  It now has a survival skill educational part in the game.  I tried for a long time to figure out how I was going to implement an educational component, and that was the best thing that I could think of.  I want it to be something that is kinda fun to learn. I'll update as I add more to the game. You can play the game on my main wiki page.
