Board game progress report w44

At the beginning of the week we received feedback on the game from one of our teachers. The feedback we got was overall very positive. The only things that was suggested that we could  change to improve the game was the cheese tile system (where you flip tiles at the far end of the board to find the cheese). And that we probably should add a feature that motivated the player to hunt for the cheese during the first half […]

Final Week of Advanced Game Design

So this week is the last week of the course “Advanced Game Design” and we’re basically finished with the board game that we’re presenting tomorrow. All we need to do now is to name the game and polish some elements, like putting descriptions on the cards.
During the end of last week was Gamex so half of the group was gone and we didn’t get much done, except yesterday when we did some playtesting with two people from outside the group. […]

A new sequel

Finally something newsworthy.
I has come to my attention by a reliable source that Starbreeze, a Uppsala based studio are creating a sequel to the controversial game Wolfenstein. 
Question: Why hasn’t Starbreeze created an IP by themselves?
 
Trivial Note:Starbreeze has taken IP’s from three different mediums so far, movie, comic and the game industry.
 
As exited I am considering the studio is based in my home town I get depressed that Starbreeze still hasn’t changed it’s tactics yet. They really need a IP […]

GAMEX 2013 Report – Other Higher Educations

Uppsala University Campus Gotland where not the only high education seat that was present at the expo. Blekinge Tekniska Högskola (Blekinge Institute of Technology) and Högskolan i Skövde (Skövde University) were also present at Gamex with their game educations.
Even though I did not manage to get much good images from Skövde’s booth, I still managed to get the image below from the game Grief. The game is also made with the multimedia library SFML, which is what we learned […]

Serious Board Game

The journey has come to an end and I am sorry that I haven’t updated anything about this but I’ll explain everything in this post 😀
As I mentioned in an earlier post we chose the subject of the homeless in Stockholm. During this project we have done a lot of prototyping and I am pleased with the outcome. Our goal with the game was to create awareness about the subject of homeless. Even inspire people to join an organisation that […]

Board games, monitors and a cintiq

Advanced game design – Week 44
The board game
This week we made a few changes to the board game.
We increased the number of artifacts on the board, the result was the players broke into up in to two groups going after one of the artifacts on each side of the board.  But this made each group stay on one side of the board as the other artifact was too far away.  Also there was no way to stop the players on […]

Colour Study

I’ve been working on a character design and some other stuff so I felt like relaxing by doing some colour studies using Sycra Yasin’s colour wheel and drop mask. On another note, I have decided that I’m not going to upload such massive sketch dumps that I usually do. Rather, I’m going to upload my more refined sketches. Thinking more about quality than quantity. Those will go up in the following weekend.  Peace out.
