Materials – Big Game Project
While the set up for the space levels were almost at an completion, the space itself lacked movement and looked rather flat. The group discussed whether there should be light sources placed on certain celestial bodies or if sprite sheets should be used to animate them. However, since there was only one week away from GGC, creating spritesheets would take up much more time than we could afford and using lights in space would take up much of the processing […]

Another good week
Lot of things done this week as shown by the image which is my task list for this week, everything i did i added to the list and then checked off when they got done.
The biggest thing of this week was to heavily simplify our spell system inputs. rather than have each spell be a combination of stick inputs, they now have one direction each assigned to them. Up to do one spell, Down to do another, etc. While […]

BGP – Scrap Pirates – Week 8
Today is the final day on our project before GGC.
We’re all working on finishing some final things and fixes before the day ends. Some final effects have to be implemented, our poster for the show-floor must be finished and printed, a final score-screen is being fixed and some main-menu animation is being edited, among other things.
During the last few days I’ve finished a short introduction sequence that will play at the beginning of the game when the players press the […]

Scrap Pirates – Big Game Project – Blog Post #6
This week was the last week before Gotland Game Conference, and therefore the last week of working on the game for the BGP course.
Most work was focused on fixing bugs and finishing the enemies for the GGC level. A results screen was created, with text constructed from an image and achievements popping up if you have reached certain amounts of stats. The enemies also blink in red when hit, since there was no feedback on this matter before.
A lot […]

Week 6 of production: Animating armless people… that stuff is really difficult.
Hello everyone! Week 6 has now passed and things are getting closer and closer to getting finished for the GGC.
I’m going to talk a little about what I’ve been doing this week, and that’s animation of the main character. I had animated the rough animations for the character a week or so before this one, but those were placeholders, and needed to get changed or polished. So this week was only polishing and creating new animations that were needed for […]

Final Crunch
We have arrived at final week of the project. So, what can I say about this so far?, I have gotten to know my teammates and how our group dynamic works. I have learned a few tricks while having to do all these animations due to the camera angle of our game (asymmetric). Also what happened due to our planning and my personal work plan.
As usual an overhaul was a part of the project because we could not get it […]

Snow Day Mayhem – the finishing touches
So last week we had the Beta deadline, which we passed! It was just barely, but we passed. Again, I think the teachers’ judgement was fair, as our game is still a bit buggy and not very polished.
Right now we are mostly working on the finishing touches, playtesting and balancing as well as making the menu and the tutorial.
This is what our game looks like right now:
(Although, as I am writing this we have fixed the ugly black borders […]

Week 5 of production: More logos… and not much more.
Hello everyone, late post for week five of production… where not a lot of things happened.
So during week 5 I had to work a lot with the presentation for the GGC as well as finishing up the logo for the game. The week before I had made several different iterations of the logo, but with no success. We wanted a logo that would represent our concept of wind. I took the cloudy shape from the earlier iteration and ditched the […]

Project Nordic Prime – Targeting System update
Hi again! Just posting a short update on the targeting system for Project Nordic Prime. I’ve added some much needed new functionality and improved its codebase. The biggest issue right now however is the fact that movement around a targeted object does not follow the targeted circumference; still working on that. But I got basic free-aim going as well as being able to choose on a per-object basis if occlusion (objects gets hidden behind another object) should break the targetting, […]
