Last semester in our introductory Flash class our final project was completely open-ended in the sense that we could make anything we want, as long as it applied all the things we learned during the semester. Although I already was fairly familiar with basic animation, I was absolutely illiterate when it came to the Flash Actionscript language, so it was all new to me. The end result was a short introductory ‘demo’ for a proposed Cheer Up, Emo Kid flash game. The premise was it would be a point-and-click RPG adventure of sorts, and in the tradition of Andrew Hussie’s MS Paint Adventures, I was hoping I could integrate some sort of user-interactivity where readers could continue the story by deciding what the character would do next.

Well anyway, let me know what you think of it so far — also, it ends when his mom comes into the room, just to let you know in case. . . like, you sit and stare for hours waiting for something to happen.

    That was amazing!
    If you need any beta testers I would love to help out…
    It actually took me a few minutes to realize it was over when the mom came…

    I was a little sketchy on the idea at first…
    I wanted an animation…
    But you were able to translate the humor really well!

    Can't wait for more! :D

    boz,

    yo i keep getting stuck playing this game. i pick up the key and try to unlock the drawer but everytime i try to put the key on the drawer to initiate the unlocking of it, zeke throws the damn key at the drawer and when you try to pick it up the idiot trips. And then you pick up the key but I can't seem to click on anything else but the painting which does nothing lol..

      Please no…
      I'd prefer a straight adventure to an adventure/rpg combo…

  26. JOhn
