Week 7 of Big Game Project

I have primaraly been working on particle effects this week to help indicate the gain of speed. I have also done some menu stuff like buttons and background for different menu states.
the particle effects i created this week was a ”wind blowing past at high speed” effect, an exhaust effects for […]

Fifth Week of Big Game Project

This week has been very hectic, we worked  hard  to get a somewhat solid level for the alpha test for people to play.
I have been working primarily on the effects and particles this week for feedback purposes and readability.
I have never worked in depth with the Unity Particle Systems so i had to experiment allot and look what others had done to get the desired effects. I bought some particle effects i thought was cool and dissected them to see how they where made […]

Fourth Week of Big Game Project

The fourth week of big game project has ended and we have gotten a lot of things done.
I personally have been taken a deeper look into the unity particle system and also made some assets for the level designers to use.
I will be talking about the Ramp Building Kit in this post.
Since we need smooth surfaces for the player to ride upon the logical solution was to let the level designers make the ramps and pipes the way they wanted […]

First week of Big game project

So the first week of Big Game Project, project that will eventually be on the GGC floor has started
The concept itself was not done during this week but has been iterated upon for several weeks beforehand so we knew exactly what to do once the course started, thus giving us more time in the production phase.
The concept is a fast paced adventure game where your avatar is a robot that is broken, for the player to move you have to […]

Shadow Path and GameX

This is the last week of the course, Advanced Game Design and we had our final presentation of our board game.
Not many changes were made from the previous week to this one. While half of the group where at GameX the other half did as best they could to balance the game. They play tested it with people that had never played it before and they thought it was fun and exciting to play.
Short about GameX:
I and my group were […]

Re-thinking

A week late but here it is, GameX took alot of time 😛
Last week we made some major changes to the game, we reworked the action system and we also further iterated on the game board.
In the start of the week we had a meeting with Marcus discussing what we could change and make better. He came up with some ideas that would give the monster player a more defined goal. He suggested that we should give the players lives, […]
