Runes of Kalevala – Splitting the screen
Runes of Kalevala is a game that I have been working on together with the rest of Tasteful Games: Filip Frandsen, Anders Hagström, Thom Hujanen, Sebastian Ringvol, Tara Sundström and Erik Ögren.
It is a 2D game made in Unity with a focus on cooperative gameplay with action, platforming and exploration. For the vertical slice we are developing the Big Game course we have decided to focus on making the game for two players […]

The Runes of Kalevala – Developer’s blog
I know, I’m a terrible blogger, maybe I’m too old to get into the groove of putting my thoughts out into cyberspace every week.
Tasteful Games, the startup that I’ve been a part of for a year now is finally ready to begin work on a project we’re actually looking to bring to market. Being students we’ve had the privilege of slowly learning our craft and testing the waters for 2 years before going at it for real.

Project Neiva Week 2
Hello Again Readers!
Now the second week of development has passed and we have already got some great progress. The week started with a weekly sprint. Where we set up the goal with what we wanted to have in game before the week was done. As level designer my task was to create some test levels and some basic challenges for each of our different souls that our main character uses to teleport around.
The projectiles that Neiva has is the standard […]

University Projects: Synapse
So, New game project!
Project is called Synapse and is a serious game, the game should teach the player about how the brain works and what different parts does. The game is 2D and heavily based upon using comedic animations.
Overall the game has been moving forward, we have had some misfortune as our lead designer was sick most of last week.
I’ve been working with the project plan, SCRUMing and making a base background for our animations. The project plan was smooth […]

Shader Funtimes
So for this week i have been doing a lot of different things. But some of the most interesting was to create some custom shaders. This is not any final stuff, and i still have some figuring out to do in order to make use of the efficiently. But anyways, here are some refraction shader variations i created using shaderforge:
Watch below! (if you can bear the horrible gif. quality)
Possible water refractions

Big Game: Week 1
During the first week of production, the main task was to create the player character of our game. Here’s the concept:
Modeling and creating a UVW of her head was a lot of pain and resulted in some difficulties with distortions when creating the textures, but I eventually ended up with with an acceptable result. Emissive glow would also be a big part of the character design, which meant I had to play around a bit in Unity to figure out how […]
