The menu screen.

Here's the title and the menu layout.

I tried to get a light blue outline around the letter but it didnt fit well with the back ground colours, it was a bit too pastel! So the black outline works best, and i tried the word bending as a homage to the old horror movie posters. I also added the 'DEMO' stamp as it shows how the game is only a snippet of what the game could be! nice rubber stamp effect :)

Play will take you to the game, with a quick movie at the beginning, Extra's will take you too the bio's of the original four characters including the janitor and Credit's will take you too the roles that Lewis and myself took upon ourselves as well as Joanne Higginbottoms fantastic input with a musical score and foley!
Lewis will be taking this and implementing it.

Added assets.

Since the last update, I have been working with both Adobe Flash CS4 and Action Script 2.0 as well as Adobe Photoshop CS4. I have been developing assets and set pieces in keeping with the newly founded style that have been implemented into the environment. During the production phase of the assets, i found that many of the rooms seemed bare and boring, with not much in the way of interaction, so i found myself looking for other ways of inputing interaction.
Below are the assets that were imported to this date, these include film reels, sweet boxes, shevles, film posters that can be broken when clicked on, and film shots that have moving eyes that will activate when the player hovers there mouse over the picture. As well as an unlit flaming torch that will light when clicked. A nice little homage to Frankenstein.

New and Improved rooms

After much deliberation of the rooms and their portrayal, these are the final assets to be implemented into Flash CS4. Some of them are bland as the assets will need to be attached to them during the Flash work.
The Rooms themselves are made from A4 coloured card. The assets are drawn on them then cut out, stuck down or placed into position and scanned. Once scanned i took them into Photoshop and cleaned them up.
