Flash Games

Oooo I'm actually getting into the habit of posting on here now! Woo!

Anyway I have played a couple of flash games which a friend showed me online, both of them on the site mini clip, I have included the links to the two games at the end of this blog.  

The first game "Bloxors" is a simple game where you have to move a block around with the arrow keys and is pretty addictive.

The second game, "Feed Me!" is a simple and fun game where you click around the level to make the plant eat insects or grab onto walls/floors/platforms to help it move about.  I really like the graphics on this game, which look similar to the graphics of the old 2D retro Mario games and other old 8-bit/16 bit games on the older games consoles.

The name of the second game, "Feed Me!" and the look of the plant also remind me of the film "Little Shop of Horrors", which I went to see a play version of last week, which my sister sang in, which was quite humorous (the play, not my sister singing)

The bright colours and simplistic graphical style is one of the styles I would wish to work on and use in my work throughout my course and in other projects I work on through the duration of my course, and other projects I work on outside of university.

Edited Blog Template

I have been for the last few hours editing the look of my blog to try and make it fit the style and colour scheme of my website. I have mostly succeeded in doing this but there are still some bits that aren't quite right and it needs more playing about with. It is, however, light out now, which is not a good sign! So I think that's a job for another day! Anyway comment me to tell me what you think of the template if you want!

Cheers

Website & Variousness

Right, I have finished (for now) what I want my site to generally look like. I say that, but already I think it should be different in quite a lot of places but at least theres something there which I can work on and build upon when I want to instead of full on working on it all the time which I have been doing lately.

Unfortunatly the site doesn't actually appear to work :S. Since it is running from our home server I can't just access it from here to see if it appearing for the outside world, which, apparently it isn't. Anyway the link is http://www.guiblin.com/chris/

Feel free to try anyway! It will probably be up and working soon! If it is conciderable amount of time after this has been posted then please comment and tell me it's still not working! Thanks very much!

As I said, my website is pretty much all I have been working on multimedia wise lately. I have been continuing with Maya stuff a little bit and created a quick space ship flying through some tubes thingy which I will upload shortly. I need to do more work on lighting and textures and things to make everything look more realistic but for now I am just concentrating on object movement and stuff.

I have also been researching multimedia such as playing games, watching videos and films and such (i.e. living daily life). I watched the anime 'Howl's Moving Castle' from the makers of Spirited Away (which is an amazing film) recomended by a friend tonight which I enjoyed, I love the japanese cartoon fantasy weirdness.

I also watched this video of someone playing a stupidly hard mario hack, which I found strangely hillarious!







Warning: Quite a lot of swearing in this video! So don't watch if easily offended!

It's quite worrying how I managed to watch through all 20 odd minutes of this without getting bored!

I think I will do some editing of my blog to make it a little more personalized!
