First stage of my project intro mock-up of a game concept inspired by X-COM.

The scene shows squadrons of F-18 fighters dropping on several UFOs.

Added: Hmmm, I probably should get rid of those flying boxes/chests things...

Debonair Debut, by Command Z Productions

Debonair Debut is a collection of thirteen 3-minute final video projects from the University of Utah Department of Communication's Video Production II class during Fall semester of 2009. The projects were completed in response to the class assignment to 'tell a story' in exactly three minutes using the resources of visual and auditory production. This program aired on KUEN Television in Salt Lake City on December 16, 2009 and December 22, 2009.

And so I decided to try Karos Online CB. Well, my first thought was... 'Oh god, no. Not another one of those gender locked'. At this moment, 3 classes are available, and 4 more to come. Elf-like Seroine female archer-type Bowmistress, human male two-handed sword user Blader, and dark elf-like male dual-wield daggers Rogue are the 3 classes to choose from. The other unavailable characters seem to be female spear user, male dwarf with big hand-cannon, female with sword and shield, and a female with a staff. So, umm... please forget what I said about gender-locked. This is gender & race locked.

It has been about 4 years since this game came out in Korea, now finally the game has come to us in the States. I'm sure you know what I think about this, another gender-locked classes MMO. Sigh. Anyway, let's get down to business. There are 4 classes in this game, at least in our version; the standard fighter in armors male Dragon Knight, the one with brute force male Berserker, the spell caster with offensive and defensive spells female Elementalist, and the long range weapons user female Valkyrie.

S4 League is a fast paced third person shooter game, with WSAD control and mouse for direction, in room-based environment, with stylized and good-looking graphic. Players login to the Lobby, where they will have access to equip their characters with weapons, costumes, skills, and then they can choose which room, and what type of game, they want to join in. Each room has max players at 12, 6vs6.

The first to mention is the game's Lore, or actually the Lore from J.R.R. Tolkien, the books. Yes, there's story in this game. But the Lore doesn't just apply to the quests or storylines, it's more than that. The Lore, and the movies influence the scenery, armors and costumes, towns and cities, even monsters, and so on. If you're a fan of tLotR and want more, this game is highly recommended for you. Even though you will run into some contents that make you wonder 'I've never seen or even heard of THIS in the movies or in any book'. Well, yes, this is, after all, a game, an MMO game, to be specific. Some are changed, and some are added. (Do I need to give examples of how the Dune series got modified when it was made into RTS game? Hope not.)

Chess Battle is a 3-minute video production for my Video Production II at the University of Utah. The video was a part of Debonair Debut on KUEN, Channel 9. Wednesday 16th at 9:00 p.m., and Tuesday 22nd at 1:00 am, December 09.

Chess Battle is about a bold move to measure one's capability with a game of Chess. 

Zeltana kingdom, and probably kingdoms nearby too (but we don't care since the story will focus only in this kingdom), had been under assaulted by the Black Dragon Riders for so many decades now. The Riders would destroy fortresses and barracks. Villages would be burnt, while people would be killed or captured and never be seen again.

Heroes don't change weapons or armors. That's right. Superman will always wear his underwear outside, and Spiderman will never wear a cloak either. These appearances make each Hero unique. And thus players of City of Heroes have oh-so-many options to create their Characters. There are many faces, hair styles, and Details (glasses, Rebreather, Gas Mask, ear pieces, and many more) to choose from, so that your character won't run into his or her clone. You also have the freedom to choose the clothing of your character. You want a jacket? A high school shirt? Skirt or Shorts? Very long or very tight pants? All these are possibilities of making your character appealing to you. You can even make a naked Hero, if you want to...
