Impending Doom
Introduction
The Impending Doom game is where the player will lose in the end no matter what, although the player has to feel that he or she will be able to make it. This Impending Doom game that I have created takes places on a mountain. Two climbers are on an excursion when suddenly the female character slips and falls down. The challenge is to control the grip of the female character with the mouse keys. The game is set up […]

Reverse engineering
I was sick while the rest of the class worked with reverse engineering, so I decided to try it out on my own instead! Basically, you need to take a digital game, figure out what you think the core experience is, find the mechanics that enforce that experience and make a board/card game with those mechanics.
So this is the game that I managed to make:
You’ll need:
a board that looks like this (or at least vaguely similar)
(the board consists of light squares […]

Photoshop dump
Painting, and hell, drawing in general is a funny thing. By all accounts I whine more about it than anything else. I get bored and lose interest in a piece or I become increasingly frustrated trying to finish it. Spend hours upon hours on something I wind up hating after a week.
So the fact that I inevitably keep starting up new pieces really says something about how satisfying it is to have finished creating something. Anyway, here’s some recent stuff […]

Postmortem Board Game
A little less than a week ago we got an assignment in class: pick a game, determine the core experience, and try to emulate that with some kind of board game. My group, figuring we’d better pick a game that was generally well known, and specifically known and played by all of us as the subject of our assignment, we chose the Worms series to base it on. It had the added bonus of a relatively high likelihood of translating […]

Old projects
So, last year I started studying game development at Blekinge Tekniska Högskola (BTH) but I dropped out after a few months because I didn’t particularly like it there. I like it a lot better here. However, we did do some cool stuff.
We had a one week crash course in Gamemaker, and at the end of the week we had about one and a half day to make our own game. The game I made is called Up is down and you […]

Gears of War: The Board Game analysis
This week me and some of my classmates sat down and played Gears of War: The Board Game. I haven’t actually played any Gears of War game but I’ve seen others do and I’ve heard quite a lot about it. We had no idea what to expect because how would you translate a 3rd person shooter into a board game? Our first impression was that this game is huge. There were so many components after opening the box. We spent […]
