A small Director game for UNCG’s Continuing Ed program advertising an online economics course. The game’s character, a green alien named Osimaj who is featured prominently in the econ course, rides his skateboard against the UNCG mascot. The background images are snapshots of familiar campus locations.
Under most circumstances, grunge fonts, small type sizes, and transparent overlays are interface no-nos, but since the game was intended for a college-aged audience I thought the design exceptions were justified. The game won a nice award for UNCG, a silver winner in Education for the 2006 W3 Awards.
Below is the original appearance of the game. Skate, Alien is a good example of how a game can be reskinned.
