Tasteful Games

So I’m starting a new blog on behalf of the startup I am involved in – Tasteful Games.
We’re a small company, currently 6 people who are planning to make games, both analogue and digital. All of us who work here are students of game design at Uppsala University and we love games far too much to do just video games or just board games.
There are other reasons too of course. Board gaming is currently where it’s at with a market on the […]

Money Tree – Dev. Post 01

I’ve started working on the serious game Money Tree (name not final) a game about banks, loans, house prices and how all of those are connected.

Before I start talking about the work I’ve done I’ll talk about what the game is about. First of all: This is a serious game which means that its primary purpose is to teach and provoke people, not necessarily being fun.

Basic Premise:
Why are houses and apartments so expensive? That’s a question a lot of […]

Pen in Flames take 2!

Take 2, ladies and gents! I thought I could upload images of my sketches through my phone the other day, which I know I’ve done before! But no… So a new try today! So why a redesign on Cinderella’s Carriage you ask? Because why not, I say! I am a … – Läs hela inlägget här

Catching up again

Okay, time for some catching up since the blog have been dead for over two months.
I got nothing else done during the summer as the rest of the family stayed in Stockholm most of the time, between keeping the house running and worrying i didn’t get any work done sadly. I am glad i had this optional course to drop rather than one i needed to complete as because i was able to drop the course i was able to […]

Goal Statement for Game Design in Practice

My goals for Tamarrion for the course Game Design in Practice are:
– to create 1 new boss – this must fit the theme and feel consistent with, while creating an interesting contrast from the previous boss as they are supposed to belong to the same wing of the game.
– creating and maintaining a community of players interested in playing Tamarrion – this will include blogs, Twitch, Twitter, events and a landing page for Tamarrion.
– releasing a demo consisting of the […]

New course!

So after I thought I was finished with school I had the great idea to apply for a new course. Game Design in Practise!
This will mean that I have to work at a product from start to finish and release it to an audience. If that isn’t terrifying I don’t know what is. I will not do this alone however, I will have my trusted Doorbell (aka Mariam) whom I will be working with. Hopefully if all goes well we […]

Ideas and Beginnings

Everything starts somewhere. This would be the start of my first ever attempt at entrepreneurship and trying to market a product with the distinct goal of having gone through the entire process in earnest. This is however easier said than done, as not only must I have the idea of a product ready, but also be able to know to whom it might be attractive be it private consumers or otherwise.
Seeing as I am looking at a 5-month period where […]

Game Design in Practice – Goals

My goals for the course Game Design in Practice and by extension project Money Tree (name not final) are as follow:
1. I want to be part of creating and releasing a game or a game-like product. By doing this I hope to be able to step into the video game industry, improve my portfolio and earn some money (hey, I can’t live on study help forever).
2. Learn and implement marketing in relation to a game or game-like product.Marketing is […]

Goals

This has been a long time coming. As with the current design course I am supposed to list a number of goals that I will pursue as I undertake this project.
I have a lot of things that I need to learn and improve upon. Communication being one thing and also how I pitch and present my ideas to both my team and others. While I have done plenty of presentations such as this one in my life I have never […]
