Description
Okay, this probably should have been a Journal, but I put it in my gallery.Do you love video games? Traditional Animation? iPhones and iPads? Put all those loves together and go buy the new THE ACT iPad app game! Many Disney artists worked on this including myself a little bit! You can control the animated character's emotions/reactions/actions by the slide of your finger! I'm telling you, you've never seen anything like this!! [link]
EDIT: I almost forgot- I make a cameo appearance in the game too! Me and my former partner, Rob Corley, show up with as orderlies pushing a gurney in the hospital scene. We animated that section too. The big guy that gets into the bed is ours too! Buy and iPad and watch it! What are you waiting for?

I was just thinking of this game again, and noticed it's no longer at the iTunes store, despite the game's website still being online (albeit dead). Sucks it never saw an Android release. At least a few "Playthroughs" are on YouTube anyway.

Β I don't know the game, but this is such a nice illustration. It looks like a screenshot from an animated film. The nurse is quite pretty, and the fellow with the boyish face looks nice also. I also like the way you drew both their expressions as she's giving him the flower. You obviously put a lot of work into the background too, and the way you've adjusted the focus by slightly blurring certain farther away portions of the drawing, is very subtle and effective. This is really sweet, and so well done! Wonderful artwork.Β Β Β

Wow, this looks really fun and well animated. Wish there was an android tablet version. I will have to see if I can find an iPad I can afford.

This is by far the most amazing thing I have ever downloaded to my iPhone! Plus, I'm 2D animator so this piece of art is giving me twice as much pleasure)

I still have to finish that game. Parts of it are freakin' hard! I'm stuck at the point where he's sitting next to her and has to lean in at just the right moments. I got a little bit further, but she keeps getting mad/sad and walking off.

The proyect is AMAZING!!!
We miss the 2D animation like this.
Today, everything is created in computers, sadly.

I really love the beautiful depth of field effect in this drawing. It adds so much dimension. Beautiful! Love how traditionally drawn this is <3

Wow -- I remember hearing about this game on an adventure game bulletin board years ago, and thinking how sad it was that such a gorgeous-looking game had been canceled. I'm amazed to see that that project was not only restarted, but completed as well! Hats off to everyone who helped make this happen!

The Act sounds great, and this drawing looks like Fix-It felix fan art :3

You know I had a feeling those two guys were supposed to be some of the staff. Lo and behold you you animated your selves LOL. Very nice job on that sequence by the way.

I remember first seeing this back at OIAF 2006! Glad they finally were able to get it out on a platform for the public to play it!

So is this like an adventure game?
The trailer reminds me a lot of Dragons lair and Space Ace.

I saw this in the app store and watched a few reviews and trailers, and the concept and animation make an awesome, well crafted experience!

Just saw Big a couple days ago, and I'm reminded of the scene where Tom Hank's character is trying to pitch his "Choose Your Own Adventure" device. Buying an iPad just to watch cartoonsβ¦
Hello nurse!

While I admit the game does look quite awesome, I have seen something like it before. Dragon's lair would be one good example.

Looks amazing, but really gonna have to see someone play it to convince people its a game, just looks like a brilliant cartoon, which will be reason enough to buy it anyway for cartoon lovers.

I have to say, I'm very impressed. The style of animating kind of reminds me of the OLD Disney movies that you guys did. Great job!

SWEET!!! I wondered what ever happened to The Act project >_<
Last I heard of it was YEARS ago, (when they had their hearts set on Arcade consoles) and I never heard anything more about it (and forgot it until now).
I HAVE to play it!

Aw man, I wish I had an iPhone / iPad just to play this game

Just bought it oh my gosh it looks amazing! Fantastic work!

I just finished playing it, it's wonderful work! I'm a female and the last section left me completely understanding the male plight of figuring out what an upset woman really wants. After my fifth time around I was shaking my iphone "WHY DOES NOTHING I DO PLEASE YOU?!!!" and "WHAT IS IT YOU WANT ME TO DO?!". Fantastic game, I really hope there will be more in the future, I'm hooked!

"buy an iPad" 
The trailer's looking great. I'm beginning to see how all that animation and storytelling experience in studios like Disney could revolutionarize computergames with their flat characters, boring plots and often much too serious look. I'm not a game player at all (I played my last computer game fifteen years ago), but this I can even imagine getting an iPad for
