HappyLand - Kids game built for Lutheran Media

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

 

cool design full of flash.But I think u may include some html in it to make it professional as well as kids friendly.

 

Thanks, its meant to be a game, theres not really any way we can make this in html...

 

Great site. I'm sure kids are going to love it. Keep it up and all the best.

 

Cheers dude, thanks for the comments

 

Cool site. New past time for me

 

The site is great, if I was a kid I would definitely enjoy playing that game.

 

We actually have tested on several classes of children and they really did seem to enjoy it

thanks for the positive feedback

 

Cute site. Perfect for kids and adults alike.

 

cheers mishca99, glad you liked it

 

I love the way it loads initially ...superb concept and well designed for making every child happy

 

Thankyou semfan, much appreciated...a lot of work went into making HappyLand a fun environment for kids to play online.

 

haha that is soo cute! awesome game!

 

Hehe thanks ewolf

I actually just got back from a primary school, we got a whole bunch of 5-7 year old kids to play HappyLand and the response was great

 

Great site
i like it
for domain name is Good
may be i want to buy this in future

 

Somehow I dont think HappyLand (happyland.com.au) will be for sale anytime soon. We plan to develop and maintain the game for Lutheran Media for a long time to come

 

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

 

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

 

Peon - You should be proud. You've done something very cool. I'd like to talk to about how some of that stuff could be used elsewhere
