edited November -1 in Announce Your Game!
2 days ago i thought of a great game idea. Lets be clear, the game isn't great, but the idea was to cash in on the huge amounts of press and misery regarding the iceland volcano disaster. I thought it might cheer people up that were stranded at airports, but the damned planes are flying again. Oh well, here's hoping that thing heats up again!



Awaiting approval

    You can open a video file in quicktime pro and export it as an image sequence. then you can drop them into an animation sequence. you'll have to do sound separately and you'll need to keep an eye on FPS and file size.

    I have to say, this is amazing haha!

    Nice work! Very creative in my opinion, a perfect example of how games can be created from any source!

    Awwww, thanks guys.

    @JamesZeppelin The ditty isn't Van Halen. It's royalty free stuff from audiojungle.net, nice eh?

    Very very clever! I love this game, when are you releasing it?

    Hahahahahah. Great idea!

    Looks great, and definitely has personality. If you release though, I'd suggest you change the color of the airplanes. Since they're the same color as the airports, I overlooked a couple in the video thinking they were such. But aside from that, nothing astray. Thumbs up here!

    this game could actually get some attention in the press. i'm from norway and the two major newspapers over here is all about the volcano and the iPhone at the moment. No iPad here yet, though. Good work either way:)
  • mrfunkleberrymrfunkleberry Member Posts: 424
    @efish. I hope so! I think i'm a little late though.

    @Kamazar. Thanks for the advice. I'll look into that for the update. There's plenty i still need to do, as i said, i only started two days ago.

    More suggestions very welcome!

    How did you embed the video into the GS Forum?
  • beefy_clyrobeefy_clyro Member Posts: 5,394
    @JCFord - for youtube videos, just type the URL in your post and the forum software takes care of the rest

    looks wicked, and if you are interested, I read that they are expecting another burst of ash cloud heading towards Europe soon :)

    ahaha - brilliant!

    I think James was referring to Van Halen's 'Eruption':



    QS :D
