Hi to all, I finally gave my graduation project at school this term with a pleasant B. That is an awesome thing for me, although there are a few unimportant classes left to take to finish the school completely, it doesn’t really matters. I succeeded the hardest part. Unfortunately I had a very small amount of time to spend working on this project, so a B is a very satisfactory grade for me.
The subject was game design, my game was a modernization on the traditional theatrical Turkish shadow-play widely known as Karagöz.  I tried to give the characters a new look and make them playable in today’s computer games world. I will convert the project to a web optimized and browser compatible format soon,  and then post a detailed explanation using my graduation thesis on the subject.

Btw,  “Güldürüklü Temaşa” means “Funny Show” or “a Show with Laughter” in old Turkish spoken during the Ottoman Empire era. The origin of the game comes from the very beginning of the empire, like 1300s. Small 2D puppets, in size of a hand, made of camel leather, reflected to a half transparent paper curtain by shivering brightish candle lights , the play can be stated as an ancestor to today’s multimedia environment.

Here are some screenshots from the gameplay screens for now..

A sequel Turkish movie to the Maskeli Besler Intikam Pesinde last year. It has been a very quick solution for a flash movie site because of the time limitations, we actually designed and applied the site in about one day. Cooperative artwork by Basar, graphic designer of Fida Film.
