Progress Report

so the hectic week and weekend is finally over *phew*! (refering to assignments and random busyness which is quite frustrating)

but it left me with a slow capped internet so left my blog updates to one bigger one.

right now i’ve almost finished the flash high fid proto, or what i will be calling, ‘Intructional Interactive WoWGo Demo’.

all thats left is shortcuts to bag, menu items, and instructions about friends and contacts list.

should be done by tomorrow and ready to be distributed by the games release date of 2nd November 2007 :D (by that i mean ill fin the flash in time to send them to some of my user group and get some quick feedback on bugs or quirks that can quickly be patched up before release. omg… how good would it b to be a game developer ;) on that note i’ve been playing the hellgate london beta helping them find bugs before its release in about a week, great game… n e way bak onto the subject!!)

i also have a few ideas for my website including a graphics behind the nav bar thing, improved bakcgrounds and main body text (most of this rumble will be notes to self) in high tower font (found to be close to WoWs font) and a large first letter of a paragraph. also some glam to the nav bar which will prove to be beneficial, hav a rollover popup thing. home maybe lead to a news page, Info will lead to ‘game overview’ and ‘online game manual’, Media will link to ’screenshots’ and ‘demo’, and then there will finally be a fake account login.

news page will hav latest post being WoWGo is released, and some others being WoWGo pre-orders have gone gold, have gone platinum, beta testing started etc… fun fun

and online game manual page will include probably just a quick start guide like explaining UI customization and PVP as well as items, and pretty much anything different to the original WoW.

(o yeh and i managed to pick-up a copy of the real WoW’s game manual on the weekend, so i’ve been referencing that because i dont actuli hav the game to play with)

also just thought maybe WoWGo can be an extra subscripiton fee ontop of your WoW account but not a seperate subscription. kinda like the booster packs and expansions of current games, these WoWGo players can have different coloured names or alternate skins in the original game, creating insentives and using techniques of real game developers and their promotion of expansions.
