I will demo my Picture Game Platform at GDC
I’ve been hard at work on my project, the Picture Game Platform, and I am coming to GDC in San Francisco to show it to everyone who may be interested. The Picture Game Platform allows developers and amateur enthusiasts to create and customize casual, easy-to-learn games in which you scurry around and take pictures, avoiding obstacles and unlocking new abilities. It’s a fun, breezy way to showcase a bunch of pictures or videos, just for its own sake or to drive traffic to other properties. I did all my own programming in Flash, which has been a true joy, and it has gotten my feet thoroughly wet in the vast sea of independent development. I’ve learned a great deal about coding, online advertising, and Web 2.0 APIs, and it has all been so fun!
The most advanced use of the Picture Game Platform is a game called Taboo Snaps, which is near completion and shows off the platform really well. I’ll be showing the Taboo Snaps alpha in my GDC demos as a way to demonstrate the PGP.
I am very keen to meet with all my friends and colleagues to show the demo and get feedback, as well as network for contacts. I am seeking a development partner who will make a mobile version of the Picture Game Platform, with Taboo Snaps as a really promising, ready-to-port app for the iPhone and other mobile devices. I am also looking for partners who want to localize PGP games for other markets, particularly Asia. If you can meet up with me in SF from February 18-29, or know someone I should meet and show the demo, please email me or leave a comment!
