Updated Artist Statement and Description
Introduction Super Unique Top Down Puzzle RPG 9001 is a multiplayer video game installation that requires two players to cooperate while separated in physical and virtual space. Our work is driven by the idea that every medium is traditionally limited by the expected interaction it affords: for example, a video game carries the expectation of being seen and heard simultaneously. These conditions...

About Game Plot and Meaning
Konstantino:
i think it would be cool to turn our simple game plot into a simple game plot that can be heavily read into
that makes some sublime comment on the human condition
lulz
Jonathan:
sure
Konstantino:
we struggle with ourselves all the time
at one point i can be giving my friend advice
at the next i could be ignoring my own advice
Jonathan:
we're dumb deaf and blind all at the same time

Why Adventure Games Suck
Ron Gilbert, the designer of the Monkey Island games, presents an interesting article he wrote in 1989 about why modern Adventure Games fail in many ways. The advice is really useful for Jon and I in regards to level and puzzle design, as our game is largely puzzle and gameplay driven with a less-than-hefty plot line. Some ground rules I got from the article: Make the goal(s) of the game clear...

Chat with Jon Re: Sound Cues
Konstantino:
how does the player with sight know they're being hunted
even if they see little waves of shit shoot and hit things
how do you tell them to stay away
do let them just get killed and figure it out?
Jonathan:
we should at the beginning of the game introduce that factor
I believe an event cinematic type thing where you see the monster coming at you
and you escape
Konstantino:
yeah
i was thinking the same thing
Jonathan:
you will be able to identify the sounds it makes
and we can introduce music that goes along with that monster
so that later you know exactly what's happening
I suppose you can also have visual indicators,
like trails of slime

Generic Lava Platformer 5000
My last final project of the semester. Generic Lava Platformer 5000 is a little game where you have to save yourself from the rising lava by jumping on conveniently-placed, randomly-generated platforms. My group and I worked on this over the last four days, and I’m really proud of what was churned out.  Big thanks to JonniJackRabbit for coding almost all of this thing. Of course, I...

The Year 2050
Ever wondered what the future would be like? Here’s a little glance of what I’m doing in New Media - my final project for my Research class, “The Meta Lens.” It’s a little interactive Flash presentation, which I wouldn’t exactly call a game, but could definitely become one with a some more work.

Documentarian
jonnijackrabbit: Okay so it’s been a few minutes since my last blog post and I feel the need to document a strange phenomenon. My classmate is laughing at his computer screen. When I was a kid I laughed with my friends, now a days kids laugh with their computers. Social networking is the demise of social networking.

Panelfly - Comics on your iPhone →
This looks like a great little app for the comic lover in you. I just may consider picking it up soon - and on the rare occasion I get an iPad, they actually have an iPad version in the works for an even better comic reading experience.
