Lead Programmer and Game DesignAverageWe changed the key binding for this prototype right before we pushed it out. We had walk and dig all on the mouse with left/right button and we had a similar setup for the gamepad...turn with left hand and a button to walk on the right as well as dig. My son Timothy played it with the gamepad and pointed out we really should have turn *and
  • walk in the left hand stick on the gamepad. We said "duh...of course we should" and changed it. What is interesting is this lead to a discussion of how hard it was to be holding down the mouse button while walking and so we decided to change the mouse binding to be two handed as well.

    		Game Design, 3d Modeling, AnimationAverageSince this game is still in the prototype phase, the interesting stories are still being written. I did get chased by a seagull who was chasing a crab once though...that was pretty interesting.

    The main character in Bixby and the Isle of Charms prototype is the Bit robot from Flash Bios with a new skin (the Bits charming animations are still intact).
