First post

Trying to remember how long I´ve been stranded on this island.. 3 weeks I think since I started and so far I haven’t had any second thoughts. The lectures are interesting, the teachers are nice and the school is great. The structure has been somewhat messy to say the least but I´m sure I´ll manage it eventually. SOO many books, I don’t know where to start, but I´m just going to concentrate on the lectures for now. The assignments have been fun up until […]

Week 2 – Genre Analysis.

Unfortunately, I was sick last week and missed both 3D lectures. This made me miss that week’s assignment and blog post where the students had to create 3 different crates based on different genres in games, but I thought that I could do a variant of that assignment. I can chose three genres and analyze their environment art to see what builds those genres and to see if there is any similarities between the different games within the same genre.

3D I Assignment 2: Part 1

The class was taken to the Gotland Museum to hear about the history of the island as well as take pictures of old objects that we can use for reference for our second assignment. I have chosen to model this medieval jug. It’s estimated to have been made during the 12^th century, so it is around 700 years old. It fell to my liking since it seems to have been coated with some kind of glaze so the colors and […]

Sissy fight

Our second assignment was to play sissy fight and learn its mechanics and then remake the game into something new and different but with kinda the same mechanics. After we done that, each group got a little card with a change to the game where my group got the note with a change of making the game into a learning type that could be played by kids in the school.We was in groups around 5-6 ppl and after we had […]

MDA

So one of the first things we got to learn at my school is MDA ( mechanics, dynamics and aesthetics).This is how you basically design a game. We got to train our MDA skills with a game called space invaders which we had an assignment to explain what the MDA is in the game.What the player see first when they play a game is usually the aesthetics, if they play it longer they might notice the dynamics but our job […]
