Help: Big Brother Online Game
 

Hello!

Sorry to ask for help on a first post, but I'm currently working on a Flash game (I'm a freelance Flash developer and designer) thats set in the Big Brother House (for a company that has a website specialising in topical gossip and news).

My girlfriend is a Big Brother fan, and I have to admit I've been drawn into it because of her, but I'm by no means an expert, so it'd be great to have some help from some of you who are more au fait with it.

The idea of the game is to collect gifts and trinkets from around the rooms of the house (initially just booze, but that got changed by editorial!) to win the heart of another housemate.

Theres a timer going : the quicker you complete the game, the more beautiful your housemate turns out to be (so if you're fast you get Chantelle, if not you get Jade).

What would really help me is to know which ex contestants photos to use as a Good, as a Medium and as a Poor prize.

At the moment I've got:

good : Anthony or Chantelle
medium: Eugene or Jody
poor : John McCruik or Jade

anyone got any better suggestions? thanks for your help!

Good: Kate, Orlaith, Anthony
Medium: Makosi, Helen
Bad: John, Bubbles,

makosi as a medium? I really liked her! :hugesmile:

(oh hang on..*reads sig* so do you apparantly.. confused!)

should have explained, and trying to get one of each sex for each grading as the player chooses whether they're a boy or a girl before entering the house.

O Cool, Tell us the game when your done :hello:

PLEASE MAKE A VIRTUAL BB LIKE THAT!

I dont think it would work

actually a skating forum I'm on did that!

we have a very loyal group of members who go there, so we picked 5 volunteers and changed their preferences so they could only read/post in one specially made "Big Brother House" topic. other forum members could read the topic but not post in it.

It didn't work too well but it was fun for a few days!

This game I'm working on is not multiplayer, otherwise i guess it would be more like a virtual BB. it's just going to be you and your crush in the house I'm afraid.. Also as we couldn't get maps of the big brother house its mostly made up :S

will post a link when it goes live :)

Thanks, Looks gd

Will it include evictions?

nope, is just you and the other person so not really enough scope for evitcions.. although.. that would be pretty cool.. if the game had other stationary contestants in it who you could talk to, and then players could vote em out in an online poll built into the game: every friday the votes would be tallied and that contestant would no longer be on the map!

Wish i had longer to work on this now!

How long do you have?

it should be live tomorrow, I hope! am just doing last minute changes at the moment, and adding a few EasterEggs :)

Lol Well It looks cool! Good Luck :thumbs:

How come its just done on beauty rather than the whole package like personality? You could have a stunning lass or lad but they could be boring as they come.

Good: Kate, Ray & Ant
Medium: Chantelle, Nush & Science
Bad: Nadia (looks wise but also a winner), Sandy & "minger" kinga as everyone use to call her.

You could use Kitten as the bad one :puzzled:

It's done on a beauty basis because people are fundamentally shallow. Given that the aim of the game is to win the affections of someone by giving them material gifts, it does make the whole thing look a bit like a Charles Atlas ad.

Here's the game though:

didn't have the chance to make any changes to the end characters, partly because we have a limited amount of photos we can use. Endemol are really tight with what we can use and where apparantly.

click on the game link to start. Theres also a quiz there I worked on as well..

OMG I played that earlier amnd just came across this now!

good-jade or chantelle
medium-anthony or nadia
poor-jackie stallone or nasty nick
