The Death of a Main Character

This week I have been working on the sprite sheet depicting the death of our main character, having him going through the stages of joining the choir invisible as one mights say.
Starting with him in his regular sneaky pose that everybody in the team have grown to know and love and then having him suddenly jerking up, clutching his chest in confusion and pain before finally falling over and ruining the carpeting of the office or corridor where he […]

SFX – Dangerous Dander

Early on in the production stage I decided that I wanted to do my own sound effects instead of using pre-recorded ones you can get online through various sound banks. My goal was to try and use midi instruments which is basically a simulated software instrument as much as possible because of the simplicity, I can easily modulate sounds through the use of effects and pre-amps, my favorite effects is a nifty little thing called Bit-Crusher, it adds a sort of […]

Pre-alpha

I would have done a blog post when i got home last night but it was past eleven so i figured i’d do it today.
Yesterday we had a seminar about genus through history on which i did coding and wrote my weekly blog post, during the afternoon i has second thoughts about going to the worskshop but in the end i did it anyways, might as well as Leo couldn’t make it to school until right after it ended. We spent […]

Game Development and Coding 13 Feb 2014 – Collider class

The Collider Class.
Last week I worked on the collider class. Mostly I worked on the class’ overlap methods. Each object in the game that’s capable of colliding with something has its own collider as a member.
It is the Collider that determines the actual position of the object it is a member of.
The Collider has a position in the form of a pair of coordinates on the x-axis and the y-axis. The Collider also has a pair of values that determines […]

The baton of Futura

This is the baton icon which will be represented in the interface when the baton is wielded. The idea behind it, as with all the weaponry and objects, was to take something old and make it new while still keeping the old feel. We did the same thing with the gun we designed for the game, we took an old revolver and made it more futuristic. Doing so with a baton is difficult because there isn’t a lot of […]

Reflektion av veckans arbete

Den här veckan la jag det jag höll på med åt sidan därför jag blev ombedd att skapa en enemy till alpha. Det skulle vara en fisk som inte stack ut mycket och som skulle passa att dupliceras många gånger. Den skulle passa in i stora stim och kännas neutral. Den skulle inte ha så mycket karaktär eller några i ögon fallande aspekter. Jag fann inspiration från sardiner. Så jag började med att skissa fram något enkelt i photoshop, som […]

Soon I am done with the Document

This week I have been working on the design document. It is going well and I have put down all my time to it. It will soon be done and my fellow team mates can look at it and give me some response. I have been dealing with the games details. Things that make a game work. A design document is a little like a rulebook. If you follow the document every part of the game from coding to art […]

Hopefully the last blog about collisions. Artifact blog

I have been updating my progress about the collisions and the most difficult part for me was to do the rectangle vs circle overlapping.
The things I have tried are to get the point on the line between two corners of the rectangle that is the closest to the circle using the dot product and a normalized vector and another method using different zones around the rectangle and check if the circle is inside of one of the zones to […]

Suit Em’ up week 3 – Animation stuff

Hello!
This week I’ve focused on animation for our standard enemy’s. I think they turned out pretty good. There is still lots of details missing on these guys, but for pre-alpha and alpha it will do.
I’ve used Illustrator for drawing these characters (the same way as I drew Barney). The reason for using Illustrator is because of how I built our characters I can easy change the proportion, shape, color etc. of each part of the character which makes it easy […]
