One of those Weeks

One of those Weeks

The One of those Weeks projects actually started off as a demo game that I put together for a third party to demonstrate to them that Flash could be used to create adventure games. This demo, called Dragon and the Sword, as well as the first episode of One of those Weeks ended up being part of my first "successful" attempt to write a book. The game is a basic adventure game using basic point and click mechanics. The game is broken into short self-contained episodes, so if you get stuck on a particular episode you can skip it.

Milestones

Right now I am holding off on doing any flash work until I get my copy of Flash CS3 which is suppose to be released on April 20th. Once I have the new version of Flash, I will add One of those Weeks to the user selected project and allow the site visitors to determin how frequently new episodes get released.

Games in this project

	Dragon and the Sword (Open Source) The prototype game that lead to the One of those Weeks series. You must find the magic sword in order to stop the dragon from terrorizing your village!
	One of those Weeks Day 1 (10 episodes, all open source) What a terrible dream you are in. Rooms connected together in illogical ways and worst of all is the terrible beast that is chasing after you! You must move quick and try to find the exit to this strange nightmare. Of course, waking up is only the start to this rather interesting week.
	One of those Weeks Day 2 (6 episodes, all open source) After the events of day one you have found yourself stranded somewhere. Of course, you have to figure out where you are but to make matters worse, you are not alone!
	One of those Weeks Day 3 (6 episodes, 5 open source) You now know where you are, but now you have the problem of figuring out how to get back to civilization.
	One of those Weeks Day 4 (6 episodes) Your return to civilization was a blunt reminder that civilization isn't always very civilized.
	One of those Weeks Day 5 (6 episodes) While you appear to have managed to get away from the goons who were chasing you, things aren't exactly looking up. You appear to be in some type of secret research lab, but what exactly are they researching and does that strange dream you started the day off have anything remotely to do with your current situation?
	One of those Weeks Day 6 (3 of 6 episodes) Space. A super intelligent alien that looks like a dog. A squirrel and an insane millionaire. What more could you want?
	One of those Weeks Day 7 (6 episodes planned) Coming once day 6 has been finished.
