The first version of the handheld game was a widget, just a 2D UI overlay that lays over the screen with lots of layered transparent images (the LCD graphics). The 3D model was just going to be animated as moving up in front of the player before displaying the widget.…

The video store has it all. There’s friends to catch up with, magazines and movies to look at, cartoons on the TV and music! Locations that sell pogs will be frequented most often in each part of town so the ambience is very important.

A video store should probably have videos. VHS titles on the shelves along with proper lighting, carpets and stereo speakers really gives some life to the video store.

When you spend your hard earned money at the video store it ends up here. It will also ring when you exit the building after purchasing something. The cash register is a prop that will probably rarely be inspected closely never the less it has been lovingly crafted.

The bare walls of the video store just won’t do! Some movie posters will create some much needed ambience.

VCRs and tape rewinders for sale at the store, as well as VCR rental, how convenient! Rental was far more common, usually VCRs were purchased at major outlets but it’s fun to have a reminder of how expensive they were and to spark some nostalgia with the tape rewinders.

Oh the memories. Digging around the fish bowl at the video store to find the coolest pogs, dumping handfuls on the counter and rifling through them. The video store now has a fishbowl full of pogs.

Laser tag vest wearable item is now unlockable and wearable.

Not only can you ride it, but The Fishboard was the actual first wearable item! It utilizes the same beautiful artwork featured on the first cap made for the project (as seen in Making the perfect flip ) . The process of attaching it to the player model has allowed many more…

Yep this is feeling pretty pogsy. SplashinCaps.mp4 (3 mb)

The grass is set to disappear when in contact with certain material. Here you see gold sheets using such a material are emitted from the lawnmower allowing the player to cut patterns in the grass that remain there! LawnMowingPrototype.mp4 (24 mb)

The newest extreme sport! And title of the first project file, a prototype for the lawn mowing mission.

In order to use music dynamically, loops are sliced from a track and blended seamlessly over one another in Audacity. These will then be faded in and out during key moments of gameplay. In this instance, the final movement will fade in when the player completes a task or some…

Well, you can wear it at least. 500 coolness points.

The first opponent to ever battle the player.

Known always simply as POGS_Player. This kid is going places.

Each battle begins with a tower of caps being built in front of the opponent. The first time a POG was ever spawned in front of an opponent is recorded here. It just happened to spawn 100x larger than intended and took Lance for a ride. LanceRidingCap.mp4 (4 mb)

Actual caps have finally been added. In order to keep the player or opponent from perfectly flipping every cap in a stack it is best to actually use a variable for POWER and decrement it for each cap from top to bottom, leaving the final caps almost impossible to flip,…
