Well, I certainly don’t claim to have “the” answer to everything, this post is just about why I think developing on Facebook sucks.
Is this just a lack of consistency or a “seem to be really badly developed platform” issue ? or is it something else, a frustration that comes from an ideal that I just can’t forget.
But I’ll try to be objective and I’ll start with what I think is a lack of consistency.

I was looking for class that would create a really cool lightning effect for me just like that, without having to deal with mathematics and co. Useless to say that when looking for such a thing, this will most likely end as a waste of time.
Well, I was wrong. I found this fabulous piece of art over there: http://blog.oaxoa.com/2009/07/27/actionscript-3-as3-lightning-thunderbolt-electric-discharge-class/
I take absolutely no credits for what I have done as it’s a pure copy of what this guy did. I just needed to re-do it in order to understand and see …

And the very last project I worked on is a promotional website for Samsung: http://www.samsung-3dtv.be/
Samsung is now promoting their new 3D Televisions and it was a great occasion to organise an event with plenty of things to win (like this Home Cinema full featured worth +- 6300 €) and a website with plenty of things to win as well (like this Home Cinema full featured worth +- 6300 €)… yeah I’m repeating myself, but it has been discovered that nothing else can be better to actually make you memorize something …

Launched a few months ago, here is the last project I worked on: Fanta Less Serious, a Youtube channel dedicated to “less serious” stuff…
So what’s the main purpose of this website ? sell more fanta… yeah but also entertain people. This channel regroups all the best fun videos on youtube and that’s pretty great actually.
A few words on the flash development though.
It isn’t really over glowing on the website but there is a smooth displacement effect on the big buttons on the home page (and other pages as well) that …

Good day everybody.
Today I present the new website I worked on: Blue Your Friends for Volkswagen.
Design and video from 1MD. Flash development and the facebook integration stuff (facilitated by Vinch from 1MD) by me.
The idea is simple and provocative (but what is provocative nowadays anyway ?)
So yeah, provocative and humoristic. Good enough. I really like the professionalism of the video (Belgian production, let’s say it) and the tone of it. The design, as always with 1MD, is nice and sober.
I have to say that people might have difficulties to get …

Not really much to say. For people like me, I mean people who expect to see “wow” websites all the time, this one will definitely not be one of them. But… there are actually …

New project for a Belgian design agency : Eye-Design. Nothing really fancy here except for the navigation system and the design which I think is really nice and sober.
The idea is simple, every section is contained in a circle. When you click on it, it smoothly gets bigger till it takes the size of the screen, then the section contained in it appears.
The system allows you to put as many sections inside a section and thus have as many sub-sections as you want. You even can put a section inside …

Yeah I know, I have been away for a long time, giving no news and posting absolutely nothing for months !… and look who is coming back with an already existing thing that everybody has already seen everywhere ?!? …
It may look stupid and useless as there are so many engines out there that may do the job a hundred times better. And that’s what I was telling myself till a couple of days ago…
But why would …

Here it is, the new and unique Prototype Experience using Facebook Connect for the new blockbuster game by Activision: Prototype.
I don’t think it has been done before and so I invite you to go and visit the site before you read this post as I will explain a bit more about the development process (as far as I’m allowed to) behind this promotional website.
First of all, I’ll briefly describe the website, what it contains and eventually what issues we have encountered while developing it. Then I’ll write about the most …
