It is a little late post, but better later then never (like we say in the Netherlands). You are looking at the sms system I build for Azotod. The idea of the whole sms system is to have screens set up in Azotod, where people can send messages that will be displayed on screen and to look at the newest party flyers.
You sms to the number 1008 starting your message with to azotodfollowing up with your own message. Withing 10 seconds the sms will be displayed on the screen. If the system does not receive a new sms within ten minutes after the last sms, the screen will fade towards a full commercial screen with flyers. At the moment the next message is received by the system, it switches back towards the half flyer and half messages screen. If it is really busy, the flyers will not be visible, instead the whole screen will be used to show messages. For every message that a person sends to 1008 starting with to azotod it will be charged for the price that is set up. A part of the costs will be sended towards Azotod, an other part to the company that takes care of the 1008 number.
Except of the nice features the audience will see there is also a CMS for the whole system. You can login towards a special website, where you can see al the smsses, block particular phones messages, clear all the messages on the screen(you can also do this by phone if your number has administrator acces), set your number with administrator acces (Called a VIP number), set the price people will pay while sending a sms and offcourse uploading all the images for the presentation.
30 April, the day we celebrate Queensday, and offcourse there is Queensnight the evening before. As a voluntary worker for Club Azotod, which is till June, I do some digital tasks like creating posters or run through their website if everything is still working fine. So here by, the work for the party at Queensday evening.
As a leveldesigner I always like a few things. The first of all, get a quick result. A good motivation to work further comes always when you have great result. Like for instance, with the W3 World Editor, you design levels like Bob Ross. Every brush stroke is something meaningfull. Which follow ups my next point: Making a scene believable . Every tree, every pad, every house, in which way they are placed, rotated and scaled tells something to the player. Is it believable if a pad is just straight withouth any variations, or props on the side of the road? No offcourse not, I always have the main focus of creating a world which is believable and charming. The player must be attracted to the level, feel connected, a world in which I want to walk around.
A world which exists already before you played it.
Designing a flyer is always a mix of creativity, inspiration and evolution. Most of the time it starts with a little sketch on paper or just an idea hanging around in my mind. After a little while I start working the thing out digitally. When the first version is done, I start sending the flyer to some friends to see if it gets well appreciated. After some more finetuning it gets back to the client. Sometimes the flyer gets accepted right away and sometimes not. The foam party (in Dutch called “schuim party”) flyer was not accepted the first time, so it needed a revision to make it match the theme a little more.
Including the revision it costed around 10 hours to create the flyer. The foam party is at Azotod 18 juli 2009. Check out their website for more info!
Again, I found some time to fill up my portfolio, it was time to recap my career. Some jobs that weren’t there in the first place are now present. The resume is available online and as a downloadable PDF.
Finally I found some time to spend on my website. Fill up some projects, at least give the site a contactform and make it a little bit more alive. Which means you can finally visit all the projects that where also visible on the previous website: BattleField 2D, Project IceCube, Fireman, Submarine and a lot more! More stuff is coming up soon!
