Origami Flash Game

Since I cannot draw worth anything, one way I express myself artistically is origami. In the back of my mind, I've had a dream about doing an origami fumetti (comic made with photographs) or origami "puppet" video . . .

Also, in the very very forefront of my mind I've got the dream to have some Flash games made for the TimeFlyz website I'll be bringing out in the next few months (you've seen the results of the beginning of my quest here and here, but unfortunately with those games you have to link back to a web 2.0 site that, frankly, has some pretty awful content that I don't want my kid, parent, and teacher friendly TimeFlyz website to link to, so the search goes on for either a simple game creator that even someone like me could use or some people who have the necessary skill set) . . .

So, here I've found a Flash game using origami!

O-RI-GA-MI is a "trapped in a room" style game, where you must point and click to find the clues necessary to escape. Even though it's all in Japanese (although you can find a translation here, at the JayIsGames blog, if you scroll down to the comments), it's easy enough to do without knowing what the words say.

I find it quite fascinating.

TimeFlyz Gamez 2

And another game, possibly the better of the two.

The music, btw, was generated on Garageband. The graphics are by Adi, from book 1 of the TimeFlyz series and from some conceptual work he did.

The Romance of Gaming . . .

This was a sweet little story I caught this morning.

Hacker proposes to girlfriend via casual puzzle game Bejeweled

Awesome. Just awesome.

And I love the line from the story: "A word of advice to any guests, though: don't sit next to two other people wearing the same color, or all three of you will vanish."
