Your blog gives very good insight into the design aspect of your game. The design decisions your team took and why they took them is mostly explained. Since the post focuses mostly on the decisions you made as a group it would however be interesting to read a bit about how you reached these decisions. The ideas behind your […]

Reflection
Well this is it, the final blog.
During this course I have learned a lot of new things. When I started this course, I didn’t have any experience in actually making a game or any experience in working with unity at all. The later would come to greatly impact the way we would be working on the project. But that will come in a short while. For now I just want to say that while I did come in here with […]

Working with playtests and feedback
So the topic for this week is playtests, and for that I will tell you how we have playtested our game as well as how that affected.
Footage from the Alpha build of the game.
For the Alpha-playtest we had one enemy, one power-up and the player who can move and shoot. At this stage we had not yet implemented the fog system which is a key part of our game concept. Therefore it was difficult to ask […]

Japanese boats and the Sea
For this blog the goal is to describe the process coming up with a design for the boat, and then drawing said design. I will also provide some reasoning and reflection regarding the design
So what does a Japanese boat look like? Since the Japanese theme were one of the things that I personally liked the most about the concept, I felt like it was important to make the design as similar to the boats used in […]

 Sharks
The goal of this post is to present and reflect on the process I went through when beginning to design and animate the movement of the shark enemy for our game.
So how does a shark look like? Well that depends. There are many different kinds of sharks and they all look different. So the first thing I did was to research which types of sharks that were common in the seas surrounding Japan. I decided to go with the great white […]
