Games, Sketches, and Thoughts

I couldn’t stop smiling after reading the Gamasutra newsletter. They published my article!!

Hurrrrayyyyy

You can read the article here: http://www.gamecareerguide.com/features/356/student_postmortem_university_of_.php

And if you go to http://www.gamecareerguide.com, my article is still on the features list How exciting!!

For summary, the article is about the process behind our last-year project, citizenMOB. It was a two semester project, creating an online game for mobile phone. For the game gameplay, just imagine a combination of Pokemon, Tamagotchi, and treasure hunting.

Treasure hunting?

Yes, the game is also about finding virtual items on the city. Using GPS device (and your mobile phone), the player will be able to see nearby (virtual) items on their mobile phone screen (on the map/radar). All you have to do is just go to pointed places and … tada! The item is belong to you.

That’s only a tiny part of what our game can do. Just read the article or go to our website http://www.citizenmob.com

On the article, you’ll get the introduction of our project, the features of our game, and the things that went right or wrong during the development.

Enjoy and Happy Easter holiday!!!
