Week one first post
Hi, my name is Måns Möller. I’m a first year student at campus Gotland, studying game design graphics, and this is my blog, dedicated to following and documenting some of the process of creating the game that me and my team are working on. The game is based on a design document created by another team during a previous course last year who named this game: Mermaid river.

Herro! My name is Lukas Graff and I’m a 22 year old guy who studies Game design and graphics at Uppsala University – Campus Gotland. As a part of this course we are supposed to write a weekly post where we talk about our progress covering one artifact we’ve been working on during the week.
My project group is working on a concept called ”Mermaid River”, which is a 2D side scrolling space shooter.

Blog week 1 – Damage animation
This is an animation for our game Trowl, a game that is about an owlmother who has built a nest on a train that one day starts rushing. With all of her children scattered around the train, she quickly has to start trying to find them. On the way, everything from predatory birds to dangers in her environment will try to make life harder for her.
Two of the obstacles she’ll have to face are thunderclouds on the top of the […]

Captain Noleg – Harpoon throw animation
Hello! My name is Nils Folker and in this post I will write about my working process on a pair of animation keyframes that I made last week. The animation is made for the game Mermaid river. Mermaid river will be a side scrolling space shooter which among other things contain: evil mermaids, evil fish and a crippled pirate that struggles to get he’s gold back.
The task given was to make keyframes for a harpoon […]

Week 1 (Build a fighter plane and destroy it)
My name is Martin Månsson. I am the sound director of Group 7. As the title describe I’m in charge of the sound for the game ”Potato Pirates”. But sound isn’t anything that we prioritize right now. I have therefore been helping out with the artistic part of the game such as making game sprites which is way more important for the moment. A while ago I made this fighter plane in Photoshop which would be our most common enemy in the game.

Power Ups and Iteration
Over the last couple of weeks I have been working on the Power Ups for our game Trowl. I have been working with pixel art because it is stylish, it serves as a way for all the artists to have a consistent tone and it makes iteration a sport. The power ups are powerful buffs or one time instantaneous uses which allows the player to beat his or her highscore in the game. They are a lot of fun as […]

Iterating the cannon
Hi, I am Jonatan Ersarp from Group 17. I am the Lead Designer on our rendition of the project ”Planet Suburbia”.
Today I am going to blog about the avatar of the game. In our game the player takes control over a massive anti aircraft cannon, in order to defend the earth against an alien invasion. For my first concept art I took inspiration from telescopes, since the game takes place in space. The sheer size of these telescopes fascinates me […]

Blog week one: The player dies.
Hey! My name is Marcus and I’m working on a top down “space” shooter with my team. The game is about a soldier that is experimented on by the military, to try and make a super soldier with mutant powers. There have been many failures with the experiments resulting in some strange creations. Some people don’t even look like humans any more, and have become four legged killing machines. Our main character is the first stable specimen, keeping his/her human […]

Pre-Alpha
Tja tja bloggen!
I dagsläget är vi inne i en så kallad ”Pre-Alpha” fas där vi jobbar med att få ett funktionellt spel klart till alphan 19/2.
Under denna vecka har jag arbetat allra främst med en effekt till en av våra power-ups kallad ”Slow TIme”. Denna power up gör att tiden går långsammare. Med andra ord, fiender rör sig långsammare, alla turrets skjuter långsammare och skotten rör sig långsammare. Vi behövde en cool effekt för att visa när denna power up är […]

Death Animation – Week 3
My name is Victor Kristiansson and I am working with team 6 on Colossus Core, or as we have decided to name it, Desolate Echo. My biggest task this week was to provide the team with an animation for the death of our avatar. I have some experience with animations previously, and since our game is using pixel art the animation process is very basic and simple.
The first thing I had to know was what to animate. The avatar is a (relatively […]
