We (Neoterik) recently completed an online kids game, build in Flash, for Lutheran Media Australia. Its for kids ages 5-7, and the goal was to create a fun environment for children to play in, but also to have characters deliver bible messages...

I built the entire game engine, did a lot of the audio, designed most of the graphics, and more. From our company, only 2 of us were working on the game.

Some of the things I'm proud of is the way locations are built, with dynamic scrolling/resizing, also its easy to add new buildings and NPC's, and the character customisation game was pretty interesting to program too...

This was built in AS2 using OOP...

The first minute or so a character 'Teech' does a big tutorial spiel, sit through it if you can so you can start playing the game...Remember, this is for kids, so it may be annoying/cheesy to older people We've done a fair bit of testing with classes of kids and they enjoy it There's loud talking characters so you may want to turn your speakers down. Oh and I'm not personally religious, but this is mildy bilbe-ish so be warned

Well, there are plans to add a new location, with 2 new buildings/npcs, plus a new building at the farm. Also 5 new games will be added to existing buildings...so yes, HappyLand will be growing constantly

---------------------



We've just built a Parents Info Page for Happyland, along with a Latest News Page with an RSS feed for whenever we add new buildings/games/locations/characters to the game Which should be very soon, I'm building a fishing game, plus Ive got a 'Tractor Driving+Feeding Animals' game in the works too...



-----------------

A new game has been added to Happyland, a fishing game...to play it you have to build Fisherman Andrew's fishing hut. Happy fishing kids

For people who are new to Happyland, recently uploaded a youtube video of Happyland gameplay, so you can see some of the features without making an account and working through the game
