Week 7
So this week has been all about balancing the level with booster placements further and in general finishing the level up.
This is how the level is going to look in the build for GGC. Supporting pillars have been added to explain how the track is kept afloat. In the area under the loop in the back, there is a ring that surrounds the tracks, this ring represents the start and goal of the track.
We have also added in […]

BGP – Checkpoint – Print-U
For this post we’ll take a look at the checkpoint of the game. Idea of a 3D printer, “printing” the character as it resapwns. The overall design of the checkpoint would be two plates, one for each player, where they could respawn, and a terminal in the middle indicating the function of the object as well as if it had been activated by the players. First of all when creating the checkpoint was creating the sprites for the checkpoint. All […]

Scrap Pirates: The last week of production before GGC
Gotland Game Conference 2015 marked the deadline of our production time in this course and we have now reached that point. As the last week of a production can be rather chaotic and present sudden, urgent needs in a project, I have been working part of my time with sound effects for the game as we noticed that we needed more of it. In terms of graphics, I finished working on the space parallaxing background as well as started the […]

BGP Week 8: End Game
We are finally at the end of the last week and we are pretty much done. We could have fleshed out the level with some more variation among the props, but it was not really necessary. It had been nice if we had time to rework the level layout, since we did not really get the visual progression we were after. Still looks appealing though.
We did get the boss into the game, even though we considered scrapping him for a […]

Tamarrion, post 8 (final week)
Apologies for being late with this post as I forgot about it in the midst of all the preparing and taking care of exhibiting at GGC. This is my 8th and final brief post on our Big Game development period of Tamarrion.
The last week of the project was more of the same from the week before. I continued cleaning our motion capture animation, and out of about 45 animations total, 18 animations for our boss and 15 animations for our […]

Materials – Big Game Project
While the set up for the space levels were almost at an completion, the space itself lacked movement and looked rather flat. The group discussed whether there should be light sources placed on certain celestial bodies or if sprite sheets should be used to animate them. However, since there was only one week away from GGC, creating spritesheets would take up much more time than we could afford and using lights in space would take up much of the processing […]

BGP – Scrap Pirates – Week 8
Today is the final day on our project before GGC.
We’re all working on finishing some final things and fixes before the day ends. Some final effects have to be implemented, our poster for the show-floor must be finished and printed, a final score-screen is being fixed and some main-menu animation is being edited, among other things.
During the last few days I’ve finished a short introduction sequence that will play at the beginning of the game when the players press the […]

Week 6 of production: Animating armless people… that stuff is really difficult.
Hello everyone! Week 6 has now passed and things are getting closer and closer to getting finished for the GGC.
I’m going to talk a little about what I’ve been doing this week, and that’s animation of the main character. I had animated the rough animations for the character a week or so before this one, but those were placeholders, and needed to get changed or polished. So this week was only polishing and creating new animations that were needed for […]

Final Crunch
We have arrived at final week of the project. So, what can I say about this so far?, I have gotten to know my teammates and how our group dynamic works. I have learned a few tricks while having to do all these animations due to the camera angle of our game (asymmetric). Also what happened due to our planning and my personal work plan.
As usual an overhaul was a part of the project because we could not get it […]

Snow Day Mayhem – the finishing touches
So last week we had the Beta deadline, which we passed! It was just barely, but we passed. Again, I think the teachers’ judgement was fair, as our game is still a bit buggy and not very polished.
Right now we are mostly working on the finishing touches, playtesting and balancing as well as making the menu and the tutorial.
This is what our game looks like right now:
(Although, as I am writing this we have fixed the ugly black borders […]
