Big Game Project – Week 7

Week 21
The first thing I did this week was redesigning the layout of our GUI from scratch. The reason that we had for wanting to redesign it was that we wanted too have our marketplace (where you buy your cards) separate from the main game board. This was for the sake of giving more room for the cards that are on the hand and in play.
Because of the radical change in the layout; buttons and other elements needed to be […]

Big Game Project – Week 6

Week 20
I started this week with Redesigning our card frames in order for them to fit the theme of our game better. The new frames have more angular elements that will tie in better with our logo and our GUI design. We tried to give all the different types of cards their own color in order to create a more visually diverse and clear representation for them. But we quickly noticed that having to many different colors made the game […]

GGC – Big Game Project

This week a rushed to get a stable version of the digital game, which we showed during Gotland Game Conference (GGC). Even though I did as much as I could without crashing, the build still had some bugs during GGC which I had to fix each day after GGC. One of the changes we did the day before GGC was that instead of having a server computer, the server computer could act as a player. That way we didn’t extra […]

Planering inför hemfärden

Jahopp, då var det snart dags att färda hem. Det har varit mycket “om” och “men” om hur jag ska få hem min Opel. Eftersom den startar och rullar (någorlunda i alla fall) så tror jag det är bäst och billigast om jag kör den ner till hamnen och sedan tar den över med båten själv. Alternativet är att farsan kommer med släp över på ön men det tar dubbelt så lång tid och kostar 5 gånger mer.

Problem kan dock […]

The GGC! Presenting our games! Receiving awards! What a way to finish the year!

Gotland Game Conference invites people from the business with experience from the game developing world and foreign universities, people from japans industry were roaming around the game hall and trying out some innovative games. A selected few of the people from the business acts as a Jury, evaluating the games presented during the GGC, to later on present the results at the game awards ceremony. Attending and  presenting games are students from first, second and some from the third year.

The […]

Gotland Game Conference 2014 – Day Three

Well, this one is kinda late. I guess it’s a good thing I’m still the same old me despite all of my experience (or maybe not). So… the GGC awards ceremony was the other day and it was rather dramatic. We didn’t win, but we weren’t expecting it either so that’s about it I guess. I was at least hoping that we would be nominated but I’d still be happy with not being that either.
I wasn’t expecting them to forget […]

Programming & Level Designing Tower Offensive, Pt 5 (Level 7-9)

Hello again!
This time it’s level 7-9, unfortunately Level 10 is cut off from our GGC plan (on my order), It needs some more work before I show it to the world and there are some other things that are going to require my time that are more important than a new level. Nine levels for a 10 week project with 8ish weeks of production before showcasing will simply have to do. But fear not, It’s going to show up later, […]

Gotland Game Conference 2014 – Day Two

I’m actually really tired so I’m not gonna drag on for too long.
Got to try a few new games today.
Outrageous Office (Anarchy Catfish Entertainment)This game is actually opposite ours… and not only that, it has an eerily similar idea for an input. Really fun game though, love th art style, music and the overall idea. A Knight’s Flail (Flying Turtles)The third Kinect game (the first one being ours and the second one being the entry above this one). This game […]

Gotland Game Conference 2014 – Day 1

Today was the first day of the conference, I arrived at 8 o’ clock with my team members and we got ready to set our game up and prepare for the days ahead. The first day is just a warmup however as there will only be students, teachers, staff, speakers (for the speeches on the following days) and the jury so the day was relatively calm and I had plenty of time to test some of the games on the […]

Big Game Project: Eight week

I thought I didn’t have so much to do as from the previous week I finished Everything but I did get some more tasks assigned to me, it was not a problem as there was not much of them. They were easily done and easily implemented.
 
GGC is nearing and the game is getting the last touches…
