Wow. First sentence and I was hooked. Cool intro, very dramatic.
Hmm so about the whole; user stories vs. backlog part. First of all, I 100% get why you did what you did. I did the same thing. Marcus asked us to fill out the backlog, but never explained the connection to the user stories, so we filled out the bloody thing. Here’s the sitch tho. From what I can gather, we were supposed to make […]

First off. Great intro, great summary of what scrum is, great picture, great sources, and great motivation of why it’s worth the time. It makes me so happy to hear you explaining how scrum has helped you in day to day life. I don’t know if this is a professional thing to say, but I’m a sucker for random life lessons
On a more serious note, a little more in- depth explanation about the foundations […]

Level Design
Level Design – A Design Decision
So! The biggest puzzle pieces were set. We knew the goals and “feel” of the game, we knew how the player character was supposed to act and move, we knew the rough outline of the challenges we wanted the player to face and we knew how long we wanted the game to be. With these aspects in mind it was time to design the levels.
Starting off, I mentally separated the game into three faces. The […]

Good post on the process behind the level design! I do have a couple of thoughts about how it could have been a little clearer though, so here we go…
“The level I have been working on is the first 30 seconds of playable terrain” I am fond of this part and the directly proceeding one where you clearly state what part of the game you have been working on. I would have loved to see […]

Reflection on Game design blog, by Karl Lindkvist

Hey Karl,
I have to say that this blog was one truly interesting, fluid article; easy to read and follow. It introduced me to some basics of level designing (interesting correlation with the music composing).
I like the slow introduction/tutorial way of teaching the player basics of mechanics and controls; rather than writing them on a paper or having them in written form on the screen, which then has to be memorised mostly […]

Comment time! Alright, first off, great introduction. I understood what you were going to talk about and the reason behind it immediately.
Very well put on the visuals of the different kinds of enemies, however you never really explained what the enemies actually do in the game. Do they attack the player? How? Do they all behave the exact same way? Are they all introduced at the same time? I guess I just want a little […]

4.1 Comment on another post: Team Z, Jesper Bergman
Hello there Jesper!
My name is Carl and I’m the Lead Designer and Sound for Group T. You’ve done a good job explaining your reasoning behind your work and the importance it has on the project. You thoroughly explain your ”philosophy” behind your level design and why you had/wanted to design the level in that particular way, and I got to say that I understand and agree with you when you say level design is something people underestimate. It plays a […]

Generating sounds using…noise!
What I’ve been doing
This week I’ve spent most of my time experimenting with noise in preparation for making the Umibōzu sounds. My idea for the Umibōzu sounds right now is to make them very windy and make the synth form vocals so it actually sounds like someone is speaking even though it’s just a synth. Synth vocals can create a pretty unsettling sound in my opinion which is why I think it fits perfect for Umibōzu.
The synthesizer I’ve decided to […]

Hey Adam, good post!
Movement was also a big part of Depth, my game. I had to revamp it a lot as well, since it always felt a bit “off”. I think there’s a balance to be had between gameplay and realism : the more realistic the better as long as it doesn’t destroy gameplay, since we want the player to be immersed while also having fun. Umibozu’s movement is a big challenge, since, as you’ve said it’s a huge part […]
