Pathways...

I've been thnking about my pathways pretty much since I was told about them, at first I didn't pay it too much attention as i intially wanted to something in AV production, however after having our identites project i was very keen in something in the area of games designing or character creating. Here's a link to something someone had made which i thought was very nicely done. The actions were smooth and the character's very well designed, Plus it was very entertaining.

Identites - changes made to box

I decided instead of using a vending machine for my Navigating Identites project that i would use something i made in photoshop with some screen shots i took of a few games charaters from final fantasy. I'll be using each character as a "box" in which you can click and go and enter something new such as AV, Pixilation etc.
I think i'll put my logo on this front page too, more then likely at the bottom left hand corner as it is going to be most visible there.

Practitioner presentation

Hironobu Sakaguchi, a games designer is most famous for his creation the final fantasy series selling over 80 million units of video games world wide.

Sakaguchi was orginally a part time worker for the new company Square, when Sqaure became an independant company Sakaguchi had moved up to being a full time mployee and as the Directing of Planning and Development.

His 1st project was unsucessful and decided to risk it all on his final attempt of making a success by using the rest of the companies money to fund his final work in the industry, naming it final fantasy. It was a very popular across Japan and the Final Fantasy was developed into a franchise under Sakaguchi's supervision. Final Fantasy series has now reached up to number 12 and is in the process of finalizing number 13 which is to be released on the playstation 3 in sometime in 2009.

Sakaguchi is now the president of Sqaure in USA and in 2001 he founded a new video game development studio anmed Mistwalker which in 2004 got financial backing from Microsoft and has now worked along side with Microsoft Games studios to create 2 RPGs for the Xbox 360 (Blue Dragon and Lost Odyyssey).

Sakahuchi has been a big inspiration for me as he creates such amazing games with great detail put into each games, character/s. The amount of games he has been involved with and the number of units they have sold has put Sakahuchi in the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences' Hall of Fame.

Here are some of the games he has been credited for with some SS too

Kingdom Hearts



Final Fantasy XI
