My final project for Art 175 is the prototype for my BFA Show. It is a game set in the near future, when Gamification has become a significant social phenomenon. Every institution is rushing to use games, ubiquitous technology, and behavioral science to bolster their own legitimacy and control the actions of the people. Your [...]
So I made this text game for my flash game development course. The assignment was to create a decision tree game, so I adapted some code I wrote for a dialog system into my new component model and turned it into a text adventure game. You play as a university student who has to go [...]
Because I am such a generous person I am going to share with you a game idea that you can take to the bank (and you don’t even have to sign an NDA!). Goal based games rely on being able to condense the myriad variables of a situation into a single value judgement- either a [...]

They lose a lot of their charm when they’re in a static form like this. If it’s at all possible you should play them, at least the ones [...]
Today I presented what I have done so far in the budget crisis game. I’ve been working on the interface, mostly, because I had a cool idea for how to manage the inventory, and that worked so well that it spun out into a philosophy for the entire user interface.
Very minor update today, since I spent most of my time working on homework. I used a bunch of the code from the editor to update the game itself, now it’s an actual playable kind of thing! The source code so far (.zip) The playable game The game grid is on the left, the selection [...]
