Visuell Feedback
Hej igen, jag har denna vecka suttit och pillat med visuell feedback. Jag började veckan med att sätta mig ner och börja klura på hur jag skulle få animationer att fungera. Min första tanke var att använda mig av kod jag har skrivit till spelprogrammering1 men detta misslyckades fatalt, av anledningar som ingen verkar kunna lista ut. Det hela funkar som så att jag har en textfil som berättar vad av en bild som ska visas och detta laddas in […]

SGA Conference – Day 1
I’m in Stockholm over the weekend for the Swedish Game Awards Conference. After a long day of traveling (got up at 5.30 in the morning to catch the ferry to the mainland), mingeling and lectures, I retreat to a well deserved night’s sleep.
Two highlights stood out for me among the day’s events:
I met Angelica Norgren and Josef Fares, both involved in the Swedish gaming-focused radio show P3 Spel that I enjoy every week in podcast format. […]

Arriving in Nynäshamn
This weekend I’m attending to Swedish Game Awards Conference. It’s a conference that has attracted many bug developers and that are going to present different talks.
As I’m writing this we’re heading toward Stockholm, Flemingsberg. Soon I can take a break from the traveling and refreshed up in our hotel room that I share with my girlfriend! Much needed before a weekend of different and interesting talks!
Yours sincerely, Oskar.

Onwards! SGA conference
I am now in the train from my home town nykoping to Flemingsberg, where Swedish game conference is to be held.
During the conference a series of talks will be held. My aim is to recive and reflect over the talks. I am mainly going to focus on the design and production.
There is not much I can tell when i’ve not arrived at the the site. But first of is Linnea Harrison from DICE. On the site it says that […]

Ms X
Yesterday I started on the first real depiction of our main character, known only as Ms X, which is to go on the main menu. I started with a rough sketch which I have reworked into clean line art, aiming at the style of the Ms Marvel comic, with thin line art that is thicker on the edges. I chose the pose and facial expression since I wanted to capture the essence of the game in the main menu. She […]

Leakin’ dem bytes
Memory leaks are something that programmers (especially those in C and C++) always have to keep in mind. Unfortunately, we didn’t really think about them until roughly halfway into the project. That means we end up with something like this:
Taken from our pre-alpha playtesting build.
This could have ended up a lot worse than it actually did. We didn’t really have any constant leaks, so the total leaks didn’t grow in size.
Now, for those of you that aren’t that into programming, […]

Playground Panic #4 – Hierarchy, optimization and control
After some discussing with our SCRUM-master Simon Wulf, we agreed on having to change our code-structure. Due to reasons (mainly time-pressure and lack of experience), we handled sprites in our GameState together with the rest of the code. It’s pretty simple to do with SFML’s built in things, but for overall optimization and to avoid clusterfuckyness in the code, it’s much better to let the objects themselves handle these kinds of things and let the GameState stay in the unknown […]

The Sound of “sort of-” Music
Greetings! Better late then never I suppose.
I spent this week working on the music for the game. And wasn’t that an experience, for a moment I really thought I had gone over my head with it all.
To be honest I’ve never been especially musically talented nor have I ever made my own music. So as you could probably tell this was a challenge from the beginning, and even much more so as the genre we have gone for is Jazz. […]

DirectX Leak Debugging
Yo my peps,
I have put together a small tutorial on how to use the ID3D11Debug interface to debug memory leaks caused by not properly releasing DirectX objects.
So I recently discovered some warning messages in my C++ DirectX application that are printed to the debug output (not the console) when exiting the program.
(Note: due to a faulty WordPress plugin, some code snippets may be broken with random dashes and tab characters, it should […]
