Over the last few weeks codegent has been developing two games for two very different target audiences.

The first game is My Teletubbyland a new game for the Teletubbies Fun and Games page on the CBeebies website. The aim of the game is to allow kids to create their own Teletubbyland by clicking and placing characters and other elements onto the scene. They can then play their Teletubbyland complete with sound effects and animation and also print it out and colour it in.

The second game is GradJobs Food Fight, a fun light-hearted way to promote two up-and-coming National Graduate Recruitment Exhibitions in London and Birmingham. It’s a hard life being a student, you’re chilling out in the Student Union Bar when your mate suggests a food fight. He starts chucking food in your direction and you wheel around on your chair trying to catch and gulp down as much as possible. The game was initially sent out to over 37,000 people via GradJobs ‘GradMail’ and the feedback has been that it’s highly addictive!

Lucy in game-launch record

Lucy has launched three games in about as many weeks.

The first is the surreal My Teletubbyland for the BBC, the second is almost as surreal but aimed at slightly older users - a food throwing game for undergraduates. And the third one, a rather cool football game for Screwfix, to coincide with some footballing occasion that's happening in the next few weeks.

Good job, Lucy!!

Anyway - more details here.

We seem to be spending a lot of time at the BBC recently, working across a number of divisions. But this week sees the launch of another project for our very good friends at CBeebies.

Doodle Do is a new TV show aimed at 3-5 year olds. The show encourages children to get involved in art and craft. Codegent was commissioned to produce an interactive game to support the show.

Paintpot pick-up is a fun game that first introduces children to trace shapes and guess what they are, by using their mouse. Children are then encouraged to create their own 'Doodle Do' character using colour and patterns.

Finally, once they have completed their character they get to use them in a fun game where they have to pick up paint pots and avoid getting tickled by their friends.
