Week 2 & 3 of creating the game
This week’s main focus has been on the full completion of the game design document as well as creating/writing the foundation for the narrative and story. As usual the week started of quite slow but the pace has gradually increased since monday with the amount of work requiring to get done quickly blooming.
First objective that needed to get done was the regulations/rules part for the game design document. Deciding how the player wins the game, how they lose the game, if there’s any score-system, how the player […]

[5SD033] Plane AI, States and Behaviour
Above; flowchart describing briefly how the AI moves between states according to conditions.
This week has been dedicated to the planning and structuring of a simple AI and the various behaviours necessary to facilitate a basic enemy plane.
The underlying structure is a finite state machine, a set of coded behaviours that are switched when specified conditions are met.
The desired behaviour of the plane is based on the stealth elements of the game, requiring it to patrol certain routes until it finds […]

Game Development Week 3
Förra veckan jobbade jag mycket med kodning i bakgrunden till spelet. Jag jobbade med ScreenManager, HoverCraftTurret, InputManager, LightManager, PlayerShip, de olika menyerna som main menu, pause menu och spelfönstret och jag gjorde en soundmanager.
ScreenManager gick bra att skriva, jag kollade upp en tutorial på github som gick igenom bra hur man gjorde. Det tog ungefär en timme att bli klar med. Sedan gjorde jag även de olika fönsterna som man ser när man startar spelet och när man spelar. Det […]

5SD033 Art Direction Alterations
As this week was set aside for finishing up our game’s design document, updates on programming will come next week. This post however will focus on the decision of changing game art themes against initial suggestions by me as a programmer and designer, and some of our artists alike, to better fit the placement techniques and spawning of enemies within our game.
Enemy design in the initial concept document we had inherited was sparse, in that the only examples of actual […]
