“Golf Travel Academy”

An Orbitz Promotional Microsite

I developed the Flash 9 “Driving Range” game, “3-Hole Challenge” game, and level designer tools for this promotional microsite. Instant prizes and other drawings occurred at the time of the promotion from within the game.

Features include:

  • in-game instant win prizes
  • wind and terrain 3D physics
  • golf club physics
  • multiple camera angles (3-Hole Challenge)
  • leaderboards
  • multiple bonuses available per shot
  • streaming video commentary per shot
  • instant replay (3-Hole Challenge) with ability to send shot to a friend via e-mail
  • challenge a friend to beat score via e-mail link (3-Hole Challenge)
  • positional audio
  • custom terrain building tools
