Getting rid of old stuff

I’m so happy that themepark has begun! And I really want to start working on our game! But I can’t, and I feel so bad about that.
There’s a task that I have not completed that I have to do first.
It’s for one of the previous courses in which we were supposed to make a game that included some stuff on a list, for example a collisionmanager and a statemanager. I thought we were almost completed with this project, but I […]

FSM – finitie state machine

A finite state machine. Something I’d never heard of. The task said that you should make three different AI-states for enemies, but it was not as simple as expected. We had three different states, but we had no state machine for it, so we couldn’t get points for that either.
We had to get points for that.
We made the state machine by making the enemy’s update-function into a small state manager that updated different states. The states were object that inherited […]

Big Game Project: First week

This is my first entry, these following weeks I will do my work and then reflect upon it. I will also include in this first entry of what our game is about.
Our game is a puzzle game which is based on mirrors reflecting light from a source to a destination. It all takes place in a temple which is in the desert.
 
I had a slow start, I had to wait for about two days before I could start working, […]

ERA – First week of production

This Monday Escape Reality Studios started producing the game Eternal Resonance: Area E.R.A;  a new type of MOBA/RTS hybrid. For more info on the studio as well as the project, please check out our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/EscapeRealityStudio
My roll in this project is primarily as a Unity programmer and secondarily as an assisting designer; Daniel Svensson is our lead Designer.
As Unity is a game development tool I have not worked with before; this first week has been quite slow. I have worked hard getting accustomed […]

First week of Big Game project

As the title suggests I recently started a course called Big Game project. During this course I will, together with a group, create a vertical slice of a game, that we will continue to work with after this course. The game that I will work on is a MOBASA, Multiplayer Online Battle and Strategy Arena, that we are calling Eternal Resonance Arena, E.R.A. The game is team based where two teams face each other. Each team have a commander; that […]

The beginning

And so we finish the first week of production.
I’ve been putting together a style guide for our game, something that’s invaluable for the production. Since I was the lead artist on the last project I worked on, King of the Thrill, I had already made one and could get to work at once. In this new styleguide I’ve shown the level of stylization, the color palettes in the different levels, general aesthetics of the game and how the levels differ, among […]

Big Game Project Week 1

So this week our group started with the production of our first person puzzle game in which you redirect light by rotating mirrors in order to reflect the light in certain directions. Earlier we had decided to use the Unreal Engine 4 to develop our game and prior to this week i had roughly 3-5 hours of experience of working with UE4.
This week i started by prototyping most of the features that would be in the game, i managed to […]
