GodFire Forge – And the Project continues!

GODFIRE FORGETheme Park 2015
The second week of game development is over and I have been pretty busy drawing weapons and working on the game menu. In GodFire Forge the team decided on having three different types of weapons, axes, swords and spears. 
The “Rock, Paper, Scissors” mechanicWe were thinking of giving the enemies in our game, the giants, the same type of weapons as the player. The tactic for the player would be like the game “rock paper scissors”. the axe […]

Tamarrion, post 2: Modeling and sculpting

This week I’ve been working on the model for our game’s boss, whose design process I documented in my previous post.

Earlier this week I worked on putting together a base mesh for our boss. Generally, basic low resolution models are created of your game characters early during development for use as a base for misc. animation and modeling work.

The main feature of the game is spell casting and combining spells to create new spells. In this production I took on the role as lead programmer, which means I have to overlook the programming, plan code structure and if necessary, delegate […]
