3D Hands

Hands up for today’s little project! Our character only got 4 fingers so I had to improvise a little but it is pretty much the same. And I got to save some polys so I got that going for me
 

Blog week 1 – Idle animation (Re-upload)

The artifact I’ve done is the idle animation for the boss. This animation was necessary because the player needed some sort of input that the game is still active and that the sprite has some sort of purpose other than just decoration. The game is typically an autoscroller until you reach the boss area, then the map will stop and you’ll see the boss there and it would feel awkward if the sprite was completely still which would disrupt the […]

First post – Space shooter project

I have spent this week with a generally unsuccessful attempt to do the majority of all SFX and ambient sound to our game. Majority of my time has been used to filter trough all Free sound effects available on the internet. The real struggle there is to find a viable sound with a decent quality amongst the unreasonable amounts of random homemade synthetic ”realistic” sound effects or silly fart noises. The most memorable sound effect I encountered was ”girl Pissing in a bowl”.
The […]

Game development week 1 – Sprites

This week I’ve only been trying to get into the whole pixel art thing again since we decided that that would be the style for our game. I have some experience in making pixel art and sprites from way earlier although not much. Before we could really start making any assets we had to decide what size everything was gonna be so we could keep it consistent. After we discussed and planned the various sizes of different assets I could start […]

Game Development – 1st Blog Entry

Hello, and welcome!
My name is Peo Björn Johansson, and I’m currently studying Game Design and Graphics at Uppsala University, Campus Gotland. 
In this series of blog entries I will write about the progress of the group project that I’m currently participating in. The group consists of a team of six people, half of which are coders and half of which are artists. I am one of the artists.
We are developing a video game in the so called “space shooter” genre. It […]

Spelutveckling vecka 3

I och med att deadlinen till design dokumentet började närma sig tog jag på mig uppgiften om att göra en framsida till dokumentet.
 

Jag började uppgiften med att göra några thumbnails, där jag snabbt skissade upp några idéer på hur det kunde se ut. Det var under det här stadiet jag insåg att jag var helt värdelös på att rita flygplan! Och jag ville inte spendera x antal timmar på att lära mig rita det heller, så fick lösa det på […]

Electrical Wires

My name is Thea Falkenmark and I’m one of three graphic artists in group 13. Our game is the game Trowl. It’s about a magical owl mom, whom flies above a train, searching for her lost owlets.
This week I have worked on a lot of artefacts. This because we had to go into crunch mode in order to get all the concept art ready for the design document.
The one that I had the most trouble with was the electrical wire. […]

MERMAID RIVER BLOG #1 – Just keep swimming

Hello!
Name’s Johannes and I’m currently working on Mermaid River, a 2D-sidescroller shooter with a lot of muscle behind it! You’re playing as our pirate Captain Skipleg with two (one) small legs, one giant uppe body and a harpoon to boot! He’s on a mission to retrieve his lost treasure from the depths of the deep blue sea where, unfortunately, ”fishy” enemies and Mermaid Witches reside.
This week I’ve been assigned with doing lineart (and some editing) for our hero’s swim animation (see Figure 1.1)  which was […]

Week 3

 
This week i have worked on the background of group 19s assigned game ”Mermaid River”.
One thing i kept in mind from the very start was to make sure the colors didn’t take up too much attention and that the line art wasn’t too sharp since i want the focus to be aimed at the character, the enemies and other things related to the actual gameplay.  I really had to be careful with that particular part because it’s not always easy […]

3D times ahead

Hello everyone!
As you may have noticed by the lack of content lately I have been pretty occupied. We are  currently doing our 3D3 classes and time is not something we have a lot of, especially after being sick. Our current project is to create a 3D character in a group of three. We made a character package like the one we did back in 3D1. Let me introduce Admiral Edward Julius Hemsworth!

Blogg 1

Denna bild är en av många bilder som tillsammans ska bilda spelbakgrunden. Eftersom spelet handlar om två personer som smugglar potatisar via flygplan valde jag att göra bakgrunden som en flygbild. Paletten är inspirerad av flygbilder från södra USA. Jag tyckte detta var passande eftersom spelet utspelar sig i sydstaterna.
Detta är dock bara tidigt koncept och är därför inte jätte detaljerat och saknar en hel del textur. Vad det ska föreställa är åkrar av olika slag, gräs och vägar. […]

Spelutveckling vecka 03

Jag är en medlem från grupp 13 och jag heter Louise och är grafiker. Det spelkoncept som vi har är heter Trowl och handlar om en ugglemamma som har gjort ett bo på ett tåg. Men när tåget börjar röra på sig flyger hennes ungar bort och det är mammans uppgift att hämta tillbaka dem innan någonting händer dem. Genom spelet när man som spelaren (ugglemamman) försöker fånga upp sina ungar finns det olika hinder och fiender som är i […]
