The plane in the game is constantly pulling down by the gravity and your job is to pull it up by making sound to the microphone. The higher the sound intensity the higher the plane goes. However, you must be careful not to hit anything within the game. The six sided spinning polygons are your enemies, you must peak the sound input in order for the plane to produce a bullet which will kill them off. Orange polygon will move while blue are stationary. IF THE PLANE IS PRODUCING A BULLET EVERY TIME YOU MAKE A SOUND, PLEASE LOWER THE MICROPHONE SENSITIVITY FOR PROPER GAME PLAY.

BTW... if you found this game too difficult... press space bar to cheat... :P

Enjoy~ (hopefully) :)

It's coming out on the 7th. Apparently the iPhone version is already available.
From playing the demo, I just think this game is so nice.

I'll have a copy if anyone wants to see it when school starts.]]> 2008-09-24T12:13:52Z 2008-09-24T12:11:56Z tag:,2008-09-24:interactive.usc.edu/members/pbrinson:33 2008-09-24T12:11:56Z

GarageGames is going to send me some more information on this, but it sounds exciting. I can imagine a lot of you guys' games from 483 and 484 being ported to the iPhone. And of course I'm sure many of you will make new ones for it as well.

I hope I can buy and use the iPhone without needing the service...]]> 2008-01-11T14:52:35Z 2008-01-11T14:50:51Z tag:,2008-01-11:interactive.usc.edu/members/pbrinson:33 2008-01-11T14:50:51Z

Please come by the GIL tomorrow (Nov 17) between 3 and 5pm to help us beta test. My CTIN 483 students could use your input. They have a total of 4 games made in Torque 2D and I'll have to say they turned out great.
But the games need to be balanced and bug tested. You are the expert we need.]]> 2005-10-16T12:22:57Z 2005-10-16T11:53:29Z tag:,2005-10-16:interactive.usc.edu/members/pbrinson:33 2005-10-16T11:53:29Z

2nd and 1



Jesse Vigil, Adam Williams, and Steven Prust’s game is an RPG/Sports theme. You play as a college athlete and explore the campus doing college activities such as training, studying, and partying. You also play football games every five days, with the game being turn-based.
---------------------------

Computer Bash



John Lund and Tomer Mor-Barak’s game uses stealth and puzzle solving to destroy nerd's computers with homemade bombs.
---------------------------

Fluzzle



Peter Neumann, Nima Erfani, and Jeremy Kopman’s game mixes a flight simulator with a puzzle game. Imagine dropping your puzzle pieces in a game like Tetris by landing your pieces (plane) into the appropriate spot.
---------------------------

Time is of No Essence



Peter Van Dyke, Claire Davidson, and Bryan Haskell’s game makes level replayability part of the narrative. When you make a mistake, instead of dying and playing the level again, you are transported back in time in order to do so. And you may bump into your self.
---------------------------

Will You Be My Mate



Shon-Ting Fu and Bryce Pinkos’s first person mystery dating MMOG takes place in a forest, where players are animals. These players have no idea what type of animal they themselves are. They only know their world and how the other players appear. Part of the objective is to discover what kind of animal they are. However, the ultimate goal is to find a mate (another player) that is or close to their kind.
---------------------------



Lauren Schneider’s game combines the classic film Citizen Kane with a ninja story. ]]> 2005-09-05T12:37:29Z 2005-08-23T20:31:13Z tag:,2005-08-23:interactive.usc.edu/members/pbrinson:33 2005-08-23T20:31:13Z

This introductory production class is focused on creating 2D games. We will develop a number of prototypes while learning the technical capabilities and challenges of the game engine, Torque 2D. In doing so, we will prepare ourselves for making a class project- a complete game.

A great amount of time in and out of class will be devoted to learning the world builder, scripting environment and syntax, and the gui editor of T2D. Honing such skills is essential to game development, but this class is not about learning tools. It is about developing playable games, playtesting them, reworking them, and reflecting on what did and didn't work. And yes, we will learn software tools along the way.

The semester-specific topic is “Multi-screen Games”. We will explore the history and practice of games played with more than one screen, whether they are multiplayer or not. This emphasis is meant to act as a framework for experimenting with game mechanics, narrative content, and player agency. We will study relevant topics (sometimes in non-game media), including off-screen space, the split TV/film screen, player/camera perspective, multiplayer roles, perfect vs. imperfect information, physics engines, and cybernetic systems. ]]>
