The Five Heads of the Hydra
Greetings!
Was watching a QnA with the youtuber Jesse Cox earlier this week. In it he talked about a fanart of himself he anted to be drawn, and it was mostly from the image he described I got this idea.
I had some trouble when it came to how I wanted the hero to be portraid, but I think it came out rather well for the skill level I am at.
As I usually do, I started with a simple sketch and a […]

Perparing for “assignment 2″ in 3D1
I was looking at two objects i saw that the jar would be something easy to model and I knew that it was something that I would manage to complete pretty easy. Looking at the dagger I realized that this would be a more difficult choice, but there were reasons to why i chose it. If I would start modeling this one I would learn a lot more, the complex shapes and details would suit me well when I want […]

Board Game Peer Review: Small World
This is my review of Rebecka N’s analysis of the board game Small World. You can read her post on the game here.
I’ll be going through each point of the review instructions one by one while addressing Rebecka’s analysis in this post.
Objectively worst parts of the game
Rebecka thought the worst parts of the game were the confusing instructions and poor balancing of certain race + power combinations. I agree that the instructions are far from perfect, and the […]

Core game system:
I agree that the Resource Management is the core game system. The game is all about coming up with a strategy to claim and conquer as many castles and as much land as possible, and in order to do so the player needs to keep track of their tokens and armies and think about when […]

Mechanics are hard
What do you get when your assignment and course material contradicts each others and the presentation that should have been uploaded isn’t there. At least a confused as fuck student.
Maybe it’s just me, but the game workshop where I took the role as the mechanics designer was really weird. The paper was full of fill in the blanks of gameplay modes. The description says I should design core mechanics. The course material says there are lots of types of mechanics. […]
