As I'm from the UK the school year has only just finished, and I've got one week of work experience before I laze around my house for the following 6 weeks.

I got one of my friends interested in ActionScript, and he's been learning really fast so we're making a platformer together. The basic description is:

"The world is under mind control and it's your job to uncover the mystery!
Go through a variety of levels defending yourself against the onslaught of mind controlled madmen who block your path, using an array of weapons."

Things have only just got off the ground, we have a growing game engine and I'm working on the graphics; the thing is it's the first game for both of us (well in Flash anyway) so I guess its a bit unpredictable how it will end up.

I really hope I can still enter the animation competition, but this could end up eating away at all my time so we'll just have to wait and see :]
Teh update :]
