Magic Writer Menu Background

Hello Magic Writer fans!
So this week is the last blog post for the course. I am going to write about the latest iteration of the background to our Main Menu. It is still a little bit work in progress but the main part of it I feel is done. I made a lot of iterations on it, I was not really happy with many of the early ones that I did. I did unfortunately not save them to show in […]

Animating all the objects!

Hello again all Magic Writer fans!
So this week I have been working on animating the remaining objects that the wizard will throw. All the alive, dead and hot items as well as some polish on the cold items. I got some feedback on them during our graphic presentation so I might go in and tweak them a bit. It is however hard to check if your animations look good without testing them in the game. The objects moves pretty fast on […]

The Splash Screen

Hello Magic Writer fans!
This week I am going to talk about the splash screen for our game. The splash screen is a screen that shows up in the beginning sort of like a loading screen. A splash screen is a graphics consisting of a window containing an image, a logo and the current version of the software. A splash screen usually appears while a game or program is launching.  Splash screens cover the entire screen or are simply a rectangle near the center of the […]

Animating Items

Hello Magic Writer fans!
So this week I have been working mainly on animating the objects that the wizard throws. We had discussed whether or not to have animated objects. The thought process being that we would lose out on more objects in favor of more polished ones. I had long been an advocate for having animated objects as this would make the game look and feel a lot better in my opinion. I agree that having a big library of […]

Background for main menu

So this week I am going to write a post about a work in progress. The background for the main menu. This project requires a bit more of the artist than the previous objects I have been working on. I have to take in account perspective and a lot more variables to make it look good. I also have to work together with the artist that makes the buttons to make sure that they fit in a suitable space. Also […]

Sprite Sheet for Magic Writer

Hello!
So me, myself and group 3 have been working on the game Magic Writer. My main job these first couple of weeks have been to make all the objects that the wizard will summon and throw on the enemys. I tried to follow the style guide that the lead art put together. I got the line thickness and where to put the shadows from the guide – but not much else. So the color scheme I had to figure out […]

First two weeks.

Hello!
The two weeks since the course started have been filled with learning scrum and some amount of drawing. I did recognize the word scrum, seems I used it before. All though that was a long time ago and I hardly remembered anything about it. We in the group have been trying fill the back log with everything we could think of that would be in the game. It will probably turn out that we missed some of the components. Something that […]
