Big Game Project: Week 1

I’m working together with my team “Parhelion“ to create a vertical slice of a game in ten weeks for our “Big Game  Project” course . The game we are going to work on is Temple of light. Temple of light is a first person puzzle game where the player has to arrange mirrors to guide the light to reach a target, while also looking out for environmental hazards like traps, moving platforms and bottomless pits.  The game will be […]

Sneaky Ninja – Art director – First post

This will be my first blog post as the Art director in the group Sneaky Ninja. We was one of the latest groups to be created so we have had one week less to work than most groups.
Despite that we have had a very productive first week and I will cover the major art related problems we solved.
We had a small meeting on Sunday the 6th of April where we talked about the concept and discussed ideas. We started working the […]

First week of development!

Hi blog! Long time no see!
So last week it was time to pitch for all people who did not already have green lit groups. I pitched a little game called Sneaky Ninja, a mobile based stealth-puzzle game. You can watch the pitch here: http://prezi.com/lmexnf88g1u1/sneeky-ninja/ As luck has it, it was  quite successful pitch and i got some team members!
This is all quite exciting for me. I have worked as a producer before, several times actually, but every time it has been […]

Practice

I looked through my old collection of pictures last week and was inspired by this half-finished painting and decided to complete it. It is a practice painting of a photo of Cara in Legend of the Seeker.

Big Game Project – Week 2

I can’t believe Week 2 is over! It really feels like time is rushing by. Although I’ve been working a lot this week, I kinda feel like I haven’t accomplished as much as I wanted. :/ Anyway…

I blocked in some basic colors on the player model, to get a feel for how the character is going to look when it’s done. I’m not going to produce the final texture just yet though, that’s scheduled for like Week 5.
The model […]

Big Game Project

This blog is a part of the Big Game Project, a course available at Uppsala University – Campus Gotland. The course is ten weeks long and ties in with the GGC (Gotland Game Conference) which is sometime in June. The course could be seen as a examination for all that we are “supposed” to have learned. During these ten weeks each group are going to produce a game from a pre-designed concept. These concepts are created by individual students, before […]

Network – >.<

Network is both fun and frustrating. This week I continued working with the networking code, the problem however is that it is going slow. You need go about coding in a bit different way than you do when  you code otherwise. Because when you code for singleplayer you don’t have to take into consideration what happens to the object when other people see it. In a network however you need to send the location of your player to the others, […]

Stationary and Fusion

Hi!
So the first Sprint is over and I’ve almost finished all my tasks this week. I had decided to make the Controller, Thrower, a fusion version of these two and also the Stationary robot. As you can see in my priviously post, I finished the Controller and the Thrower quite quickly and I thought that it would go even quicker to finish the fusion version, since I only had to build it from the two earlier meshes. I was a […]
