Tiles

En av de första sakerna vi kände att vi behövde göra i grafikväg till projektet var att rita upp karaktärer, animera dessa och rita ner lite enkla tiles som vi kunde bygga upp en testlevel av. Vi ville få detta färdigt innan vår pre-alpha. Jag tog på mig att rita upp tiles och slänga ihop en testbild.
Jag bestämde mig för att rita upp tre olika underlag i Photoshop i storleken 64 x 64 pixlar som vi kunde bygga […]

Thought bubbles

These are four thought bubbles for our game Magic writers. They will be shown in the bottom of the screen while in game. The items which our wizard is able to throw are shown in the thought bubbles along with the name of the item. The items available are categorized by four different properties; Dead, Alive, Hot and Cold. The different sorts of items deal extra damage to certain enemies. For example a hot item takes extra damage to an ice […]

Last signal blogg 1

The last signal.
Så nu har ett par veckor för projektet passerat och vi har nu närmat oss den punkten där det fins något att spela. En av de saker som jag fokuserade på var att ge vår Alien fiende en typ av artificiell intelligens. Det som utvecklade för Alien var mer vad som skulle hända när vissa förutsättningar uppfylldes. Om man skulle jämföra detta med en annan typ av intelligens så skulle den vara väldigt primitiv där den nuvarande Alien […]

Building a Spaceship With Tiles

Four weeks ago me and the rest of Team 5 started the development of the space shooter ”The Last Signal”, originally designed by Team 10.
For this project I chose to take the role of Lead Artist, along with the responsibility of producing and shaping the visual tone of the game. A Level Designer was also chosen in the group, with the assignment to design and build the different level maps in the game. In order to decrease the workload of the […]

Game Production: Feature 1

This semester we are creating games based on the concepts created last year. Choosing between the concepts of the other groups, we decided on one called Green Warden, a tower-defense game set in a forest.
The first asset I started working on was the players character. This character is a spirit of the forest who is trying to save the ”Life Tree” (the heart of the forest and her home) from human loggers and foresters. She does this both by attacking […]

Last Signal – Player Movement

One of the gameplay elements that I have worked on for The Last Signal is the players movement.

The player moves around the game’s map by engaging the characters thrusters by pressing the A- and D-keys. The A-key engages the left thruster and the D-key engages the right one. This means that the player will turn right when pressing the A-key and vice versa. If both keys are pressed down the character will start accelerating in the direction they are […]

Dragon Song Bloggpost 1.

Concept Art-

For the project of the rhythmical game Dragon Song, my role is to lead the graphical output to the game as well asdesign the avatar for the protagonist of the game which is what I will cover in this blogpost.

The game needed a protagonist that could match the protagonist of the game concept that our group chose. In the concept, the protagonist was a dragon and we liked the idea of a playable dragon for our game so […]

Ambient Pressure: the Diver

Our game is about a diver who is on a mission to find out what is going on with the underwater life in a specific place; there has been sightings of mutated fish. The goal is to dive down to this sunken ship and collect as much samples as needed to test what is really going on down there. There will also be angry mutated fish, which you can not kill easily (not by yourself, at least); but tricking them is easily […]

Winter and early spring in Visby

I take a couple of walks now and then here in Visby, as long as the weather is alright.
Here are some pictures taken on January 24, showing the snow-covered walls and buildings.

Here is a photo-collection taken during February 8, showing Visby in all its splendor.
