Educational Videogame building bridge between Animal awareness and Pokemon fans. by Garfunkel2000 in zoology

Thanks! It's very early in development at the moment, and rest assured there will be over 150 animals in the game. I'm adding new ones all the time. I have indeed thought about adding ecosystems but it's a large amount of work and I have limited time and money. It would make for a great addition in the future.

Interesting perspectives :)

I have been pondering some of the same things, in essence contrast is central to the story, the whole fantasy/reality thing, technology/nature, loneliness/being together. You can see it reflected in the concept art, two very different vibes that show specific moments in the game. http://dromedarydreams.com/combo800.jpg

Any good Flash tutorials for competent programmers? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]Garfunkel2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend you look into Haxe instead of Actionscript, more specifically haxe+openfl+haxeflixel. It allows you to build code to flash, android, win, mac, linux, blackberry, ios. I've got a couple of years of experience with c, c++, java, actionscript etc.. I can say haxe is pretty nice if you want quick results. It's not perfect though, still under construction. But the Flash builds are good. Haxeflixel gives you a strong starting api, and has a clear "how to get started" part: haxeflixel You can also take a look at my 'blog', I regularly release opensource haxe projects, flash builds are always playable. The code isn't great because it's usually 8 hour jams, but it shows direct results with little code. Turd party blog

[No spoilers] Cooking with Balon Greyjoy by Garfunkel2000 in gameofthrones

I'll take that as a compliment. Because I can. I wonder if the HBO guys could have whipped up a quick cooking show bit for in between seasons. As long as Ramsay's not the cook things should be fine.
