Finally, the end of the hunt.

This is the last blog post of the project and today is also the end of the project. We had a playing section for each group to present their game and I’m glad lots of participants loves our game. Especially good comment from the teacher: “Aetherial by Devuourer. Nice overall theming. From the start with the map and how you can see parts of the environment marked out that you will pass by later in the game. And of course […]

Hello Merve! Thanks for introducing the process of your group’s play testing. It is a powerful tool and glad that you learned a lot and solved lots of potential problems. According to the out come, the game is quite balanced that people cannot beat it in their first attempt and played it for several times. You said the mechanics are understandable in a short time, not sure if you provided a tutorial level to explain things to player, […]

Blog 6: Umibozu Post Mortem

Now that the course is over and our product is finished we had a final playtest to see what people thought of our game. We made a small survey to see what people thought of the end result of our game and what changes they would have personally made and the results we got were kind of unexpected in my opinion. The survey we used contained a couple of general questions about the game, what people thought of it, the […]

Yesterday, thursday, was our final playtest. We presented our released version to the testers. We all worked our butts off the day before and the morning before the testing. Making sure there weren’t any bugs or overall fixes that needed to be done. It was a stressful period but I’d say we pulled through, much thanks to our coders that put in so much energy and effort to this project. The testers generally liked our final product. It was […]

Project wrap up – YMKTB

Well, it’s been a long road. But here we are, the end of the line. My first game project with a group has now wrapped up as we had our final playtest yesterday. It’s been a crazy ride, but we made it (I had my doubts at certain points :P). I think it’s always a good idea to take some time to reflect when one has completed a big project like this one.

Postmortem of the ten weeks game project, afterthoughts and what I have learnt

Hello everyone. In today’s blog, I am going to write about what I have learned from our ten weeks adventure. There is a lot to cover, so I am just going, to begin with, what I have learned and how it has impacted me.
The most significant subject I have learned a lot in is programming. More specifically on how to solve complex problems i.g, data sharing, enemy behavior and how to make a modular spawning. All of these has been […]

Postmortem

After however many weeks it has been (I think 8) our game is finally finished, and the question I will now ask myself is: “What have we accomplished?” and “What have I learned?”
The answer to the first question is pretty simple. My team has managed to put together a short yet concise shootemup’ game. We did this based of a predesigned concept document which we selected, and we developed the game using the scrum framework. From the concept document we […]
