BGP #2

We have just gotten green lighted and can start create our game. As a group we decided to sit down and discuss what we had to start with so it is well organized and we are all coordinated. I came up with the idea of using a tool named “KanBanFlow” which is a site where you can easily divide up assignments to people. You make an assignment for example “Art for the player”, and then set the person responsible for […]

BGP – Vecka 2

Denna vecka har vi påbörjat den faktiska produktionen av vårt spel ”Casuality”. Min roll i våran arbetsgrupp är som 3D artist vilket innebär att min uppgift är att skapa grafik till vårt spel. Denna vecka har mitt huvudområde legat på att snygga till och sätta ihop fungerande animation som vi gjort i Mocap.
Mocap är en teknik för att spela in och lagra rörelser. Man använder sig av människor eller djur som skådespelare för att filma rörelserna. Dessa inspelningar kan man […]

BGP #1

I am in a group of 6 members where I am one of the 4 programmers. Our game is named Causality and is a dark souls like game where you play a character with the objective to kill a boss, at this stage. If we decide to proceed making the game the objective will expand. Our group is a total of 4 programmers and 2 graphical artists. When we first started this project we had to make a design document […]

Amenti – 2

Second week of the project is now done! This week I have done plenty of stuff. All mechanics for the tutorial room is finished and almost all mechanics in the Horus room which is the next puzzle the player encounters, the fire/sun god puzzle.
I started off by working on the last mechanic in the tutorial room which was the perspective mechanic. We wanted that when the player is standing on a certain location and is looking at a certain point/object […]

Amenti BGP Week 3

Hello again! Week 3 has finished and a lot of work has begun. The design is finished and all the members of the group have started to work with different artifacts in the game and the prototypes have started to become playable. My job this week was to finish the tutorial room that Lead Programmer Niclas did not have time to work on.  The work I did was to make a pair of pillars move towards the wall when the […]

Amenti – 1

The first week of the project mostly contained a lot of planning and documentation which can be tedious but deep down we know that it is a essential part to make the project go much smoother.
Besides planning and documentation I have worked on the prototype of the tutorial room where the player is introduced to the core mechanics of the game. The majority of the mechanics are based on interacting with objects and picking up stuff, like fire, life or […]

Cat tree (2017-04-17)

Today the second production week started and I’ve made a blog for our game, somniumgameblog.wordpress.com, and a facebook page also called Somnium to the GGC submision on friday. I’ve also started writing things to that submission and thinking about what pictures we can use on the blog and facebook page before we open it for the public.
I’ve also done a cat tree, yes you read it right, a cat tree. It’s a tree but with cats. This is one of […]

Rigging the first critter

Hello again! This time I’ve mainly been working on the rig as well as clearing up some things with the styleguide.
For this project we decided to use 3ds max to create our 3d models as it is the software both of us in the graphics team have previously used. I am in charge of rigging and skinning the models and while this normally hasn’t been that big of an issue before there were some things I was cautious about, this […]
