the Meaning Fall game

the Meaning Fall game


Congratulations to the boys at mbxgames for winning 3rd spot in the Dictionary.com “Word Play” contest run by mochiland. There was a lot of stiff competition and the quality was very high so it’s a real achievement. It’s also worth noting that this was the highest rated entry from the entire UK. This isn’t an entirely selfless post as I did the character design and animation for the game. It’s called “Meaning Fall” and is a word guessing game which uses dictionary definitions for clues. Similar to a hangman type game and with similar fatal consequences. (more…)

Isometric Buildings

Isometric Buildings

Tasked with creating an interactive isometric city, here are some examples of my building designs that I created. All were drawn completelty in Flash with the use of an isometric grid in the background. The buildings themselves were placed inside the city which was a scrollable isometric city. The site itself hasn’t stood the test of time but I still think the individual buildings look cool.
