Starting with a bang

So. What did I expect from studying game development at Gotland University. Alot of my friends who were experienced programmers at KTH back in stockholm warned me and said that I shouldn’t go to Gotland and instead do something more programming heavy and keep game design as a hobby. But after getting here and experiencing my first lecture, I’m sure that I didn’t make the wrong decision.

I found a really old drawing among my files that was a remake of an even older sketch and was curious to see what it would look like if would […]

Speedrunning design: non-critical bugs are features!

These days game developers spend quite the amount of time polish their products to perfection. Readily available engines, for example  Unity3D or Unreal Engine, leaves implementation of gameplay critical features such as collision to a dedicated team of experts, leaving us developers with a near perfect platform to build a game on. With minor tweaking glitches such as clipping through walls are practically extinct. Is this good or bad? A little bit of both.

For the speedrunning community this is a disaster. […]
