The SPINNOVEX '06

Long time since I update and a lot has happened! First was SPINNOVEX’06! Wooo~We’ve finally achieve our last and final goal of FYP, get into SPINNOVEX.

Even though it’s pretty boring, basically repeatedly explain the same gameplay and concepts to the visitors, it’s a good way to get away from work…Heh…

On Tuesday (17th Jan), Ben and me discussed about the possibility of creating a game (possibly for our portfolio usage. It wasn’t long before we arrived at a game concept we’ve jokingly came up with maybe 1 year ago! At the end of the day, we REALLY decided to develop that game!

Thursday: Me and Ben again. I played a game called “Endlos” by another group developed using Macromedia Director. They’re just to the right of the Hyper Relay booth. It’s a very impressive game although there’s some minor user interface problems (like navigating to certain locations). Some of the puzzles can really crack your brain…I also learnt something else…Here’s the gameplay: The player is supposed to navigate around, solving puzzles to collect 7 crests. But due to “time constraints”, he can find 3 of them simply by opening a box. Nice move!

We also have the “Urgent” game, a toilet stimulation where the player have to build, clean and kill the germs! Very interesting concept, although more varieties of items and decisions could bring the game to even greater heights! Overall, I think the exhibits by our ICT “all got standard one”.

During the SPINNOVEX, I also met Matthew and Yi Xian who’re exhibiting their high fibre “Currypok”…It tastes OK…Also invited them to try out Hyper Relay…A surpise was meeting Mr Lee (My secondary school form teacher). I haven’t seen him for years! Pity he wasn’t able to locate Ms Lai (Chemistry teacher). I hope we get another gathering soon as Mr Lee suggests, probably this coming May.

Overall, it’s a very successful SPINNOVEX! Cheers!

P.S: I am growing more annoyed with some people. They’re arrogant yet refused to admit it. They want to show off their accomplishments and undermine others abilities/works. Worst is when they act like they’re humble and all. These people disgust me. “Minus 30 Opinion Points” for them.
