Do you like casual games?

TheOleg — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 15:36:18 +0000

Hi there! Last time I was more and more thinking about the development of games, casual mostly. In order to grasp the essence of the games i do some experiments on ready-made games. And this is one of them :) I’ve made online demo version of the game Drawn: The Painted Tower, with new levels and puzzles in the style of the game.

Omg! We did it!

TheOleg — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:20:01 +0000

More that a year ago i’ve started working at my personal website. I was working on it from time to time in between of my main work. It was a long and hard way for everyone who’ve been involved on this project and i’m glad that its finally done ;)

I’ll briefly tell you about features of this web site.

Instead of simply showing images (like most of the ppl usualy do) i’ve made 4 different scenes for the 4 different sections of site.

The firts one i’ve called “my world”. It’s something like “about me” but interactive, more precisely, it’s a small hidden object game.

So, My world scene is consist of some facts about me. For example there is a “forrest gump” sitting on the bench representing my favourite actor (tome hanks) and etc.

To find this facts you should hold your mouse steady for some time over the place (object) that you think is a fact.

In the begining i’ve made this works by click but after some tests i realize that its too easy, becouse people just spam click everywhere.

Portfolio is portfolio nothing to say :P

Night sky background with talking stork:)

How its made:

To show some work process ive made “how its made” section, where you can see the creation of design step by step in a simple player ;)

i’m going to add here previews for some of my interesting projects in future.

And yeah, i like fish and aquariums!))

Contacts, hm don’t even know why i’ve made this section with a night street background ;)

the only thing i know that i wanted to make a calm quited atmosphere.

To make website more positive i’ve hided characters from some projects that ive made all

over the website.

You can find a Dog from the scruffs game website on the my world section, t-shirts from the dreft on the how its made section.

The main aim is was to create interesting, full of graphics interactive website which also will have alot of updateable information about company, their products and even history of acessories.

By pressing “play game” button (which is located at the bottom panel), user can switch to a full view of “Citta-Ita” square, where he can play a mini game.

Game objective is to find hidden items (domani bags mostly :)) on the square by their outlines.
If you pass the game having all the items found,- you will recieve the magic key of Citta-Ita, which is gives you 7% discount in domani shops network.

Website sections was made in a simple, clean style to bring user attention at the infomation they are contain.

Unholy Moon Device!

TheOleg — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 13:37:20 +0000

From time to time I’m receiving e-mails with requests to explain how exactly I create my designs. In aspiration to explain that, I decided to make a small preview of my work process like “from simple shape to final image”. I’ve asked my friend Andrew to make a media player for this, and here is the result!

It’s a first version so I’de like to hear your opinions about it, so I can improve that device.
Thanks, and have fun :)
