Jungle Jive
As part of the “Arcade Game” course at Uppsala University, me and my team, Dyonisos Games, made Jungle Jive. The purpose of the course was to create a game using a special input method of our choice. After a bit of iteration, we chose to create a dancing game in which two players would use dolls to control their avatar on screen, instead of dancing themselves.
Here’s the trailer for the game :
We had about ten weeks to create the game, […]

Code
2018
Wow, a lot of things have happened since I last wrote here but I figured that I might as well keep on writing. Writing is always a good thing to keep up. So, what’s new is that I am no longer working with Penny’s farm. I started to learn how to program with C# and, to work on my own project while I have an extra job on the side to retain some income during the summer. I may also […]

ego vs. eco
ego is poison.
family is antidote.
if we all are a healthy family, certain members can be weak sometimes, without a problem.
cherish others FOR their weaknesses AND their strengths.
show your vulnerability.
when you feel like crying, cry.
don’t let it stew, don’t let it turn into violence.
show that you can’t always be strong.
and when you are, it is for them.
even if it is for you, it is for them.
because we are integral parts of each other’s lives and therefor each other!

5SD064-Postmortem of final result (upgraded)
Yeah!! Finally I had successfully made the game Umibozu with 2 months hard work of me and my other 5 group members. I am personally pretty satisfied with the outcome of the game as it is the very first game I’ve ever made and it’s playable (for 6 minutes long!!) At the final playtesting we have received all kinds of feedback from our classmates and a lot of them are positive regarding aesthetics of the game, especially we have gotten quite […]
