Isn’t it sort of biased that you are entering as well?

Hi 3dguru,

Perhaps you could post a little something on what Open-class.org actually is, at the moment its a forum with 8 members and 30 forum post all by yourself. There has to be more too it that that… So what is it?

Mike.

Shouldn’t you be busy running your new community?, You’re always blowing your bussinessplans out of proportions.

oh , i think this thread is becoming an embarrassment to me , it’s my fault , lol , i was carried a way becuase we are making a nice video game here

game story : the earth has no more water , a boy of a rich family starts spoiling water … , the water gets angry and decides to leave earth to another plant

Level 1 : Kitchen [ Done ]
Level 2 : Garden [ 90 % Done ]
Level 3 : Chocolate Factory [ 15 % Done ]
Level 4 : Hospital Lab [ 20 % Done ]
Level 5 : Nasa [ not yet ]
and finally Space …

these levels are connected in some way …

youtube video of the drop game , there are 8 videos , this is the last , the 7th shows level 2 WIP

the summer plan was :
1- Make open-class.org community & Video Tutorials
2- Make the Drop Game
3- Make Dance Beat Game & Learn Animation
4- Make a showreel

but now it is due to a lot of reasons , even if the contest didn’t win now another more urgent things wins !! , we will set the contest later …

1- Make the Drop Game 8~12 [of working] Days and it will be semi-finished
[ in this step i learned InkScape and more python !! , also formulated a nice team of two guys , they modeled like 40 models till now for the game , so i decided we concentrate on the game till it’s finished or semi-finished then we finalize it …]

2- Learn more Animation [last summer i learned rigging] so now Make the Dance Beat Game [ this may take 20 days to set a demo ]

3- start Working on a showreel … & another stuff

4- Make Video Tutorials , like the sword Tutorial but more detailed

the Sword Tutorial

from 17-25 may 2010 , we finished major part of the game , don’t know why i typed all of that , it was a revision , let’s get back to level 2 of Garden , i consider this post as a break , …

if you want an enough explanation why i jump from a project to another , it is becuase i’m an ENFP

ENFPs have an unusually broad range of skills and talents. They are good at most things which interest them. Project-oriented, they may go through several different careers during their lifetime. To onlookers, the ENFP may seem directionless and without purpose, but ENFPs are actually quite consistent, in that they have a strong sense of values which they live with throughout their lives.

The Personality Page

i think the mods will close this , Bye …

sorry for any inconvience i don’t mean it …

edit :

An ENFP needs to focus on following through with their projects. This can be a problem area for some of these individuals. Unlike other Extraverted types, ENFPs need time alone to center themselves, and make sure they are moving in a direction which is in sync with their values. ENFPs who remain centered will usually be quite successful at their endeavors. Others may fall into the habit of dropping a project when they become excited about a new possibility, and thus they never achieve the great accomplishments which they are capable of achieving.

after knowing my personality i decided to concentrate on one thing , the drop game …
