An interactive game for Fine Homebuilding where the player can act like an “inspector” and click on the items in the photograph that are unsafe or not up to code. I created this in such a way that new version can be done by just providing two new photos (correct and mistakes).

Design Your Own Sewing Room Game

Steve — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 20:37:00 +0000

A Flash-based game that allows entrants to design a sewing room from a choice of decor options including furniture and equipment from the game’s sponsors. I created all the art for the background and incorporated photos from the sponsors. I then assembled and coded the whole thing in Flex 3 in about a week.

The game has proven very successful, with over 5000 entries in less than a month, greatly increasing the site’s traffic and memberships. It has been the largest traffic draw the site has ever had.
