Adding game ingredients

Globaloria is like a recipe. It turns out great and rewarding if you do it right, and turns out horrible and hard if you do it wrong. So far, it is fun, hard and seems like the chocolate mousse I tried making and failed miserably with the bitter thing. I often draw random things in the area behind the stage. It has turned out similar to a'Find the hidden Indians' puzzle. Randomly placed things that shouldn't be there. I am often tempted to destroy the computer in frustration. I read books with words like sesquipedalian, vermilion, and quintessential without batting an eye but some how, cant handle drawing the background of a single game! ARGH!

Adding the hidden objects

THIS IS HARD!!!!!! Sorry. Its fun but sometimes I do silly things like putting the name of a file on myglife.com without uploading the file first. ugh. Still, I only have one object so far. I think my game idea was too ambitious for me.

Drawing the background

We used Flash to make it. I personally found doodling was fun, but actually doing the work without drawing something I wasnt meant to, or having to delete some of my work was challenging. I had fun though. I look forward to using flash again, in a different project. (I think we, love-lei and I, set our goal a little too high. Oops....)
