Happy Easter

Sure hope everyone has a Happy Easter.

Spring Break

 Our spring break is from 3/31/12 to 04/10/12. Please everyone rest and come back prepared to finish your game demo and to present it in April.

Game Demos

Over spring break, I will request two dates for our class to present their game demo presentations. Upon receiving my request, they will assign a gaming professional to review our team pages and game demo files for all teams in our class. Feedback will be posted on the Talk tab of each Team page within 1-3 days of the requested start date. Please be aware of this and watch for comments and suggestions.

Adding Scene Reminders

I've noticed that students are not listening to the tutorial videos for Adding Scenes, even after we reviewed the instructions for this lesson. If you do not have labels for each scene, create them. If you do not have a folder for each scene, create it. If you do not have nine keyframes for each scene, insert them. For example, GameIntro should be from Keyframes 1 through 9. When you finish all 12 scenes, you should have 119 keyframes. 
As you are aware, I have downloaded a game demo example for you to refer to when you are working on your Adding Scenes. I will have the Game Demo open and available for you to see during each of your Globaloria classes.
