New semester = 3D-modeling and other cool stuff
The summer is over and the second year has just started. This semester I will start learning 3D and I’m so freaking excited!
This first week we’ve been analysing screenshots with focus on the elements of art, such as Line, Shapes, Space, Value, Colour and Texture. I must tell I haven’t played any of these games, which gives me a fresh look at these pictures.
The first screenshot is from Batman.
Line: the camera is tilted and the lines are diagonally, which […]

Homework; Image analysis and 3Ds max assignment
Batman
Lines: There are several diagonal lines going through the image, and this creates the overall impression of movement and action.
Shapes: the shapes give off an impression of being man-made, in that they are mostly controlled and square. The shapes of batman are a mash of nature meets technology in boxy versus curved shapes.
Space: Batman is the positive space in the image, his silhouette makes out the foreground. The spaceship is the neutral ground. The flying bats help to indicate […]

Week 1.
Monday 01/09 I was formally accepted as a student to uppsala university campus gotland.
It’s been incredibly educational only in the first week, which has consisted of the creation of dungeons and dragons characters, and the analysis of systems. The DnD character generation system is, to a beginner, complex but offers a wide range of adaption to outside input. One character might be useful for one situation, and another one completely useless. It all depends on the numbers that the system […]

Hi!
I’m Anders Hagström and this blog is intended to be the ongoing chronicle of my work as a game design student at GAME, the Department of Game Design at Campus Gotland.
I am a music producer since 15 years and I decided to study Game Design when I composed the music and made the sound FX for the critically acclaimed iOS game Darkin. A huge game nerd since the 90s making music for a game was an awesome experience but I […]

Relationships and character making!
Good evening readers!
Tonight I finally finished my assignment about the game Space Invaders. What I did was to divide different concrete objects into three ”subcategories” which were:
Objects, properties and behaviors.
For an example, the player craft in the game is an object. The speed which the player craft possesses is a property. Finally, a behavior to this is movement. This is roughly what I did in my assignment, but with all the objects in the entire game. (Of course it is […]

Assignment 1 – Space Invaders analysis
Objects/Properties/behaviors:
Bullets – position, speed, colour, graphic, not/active, damage, hitbox, sound Fx. Moving in a forward direction (upwards) from the spawned location and destroying object of collision (will dissapear if not).
Player Craft – Graphic, location, speed, hitbox, player controlled, HP, 1 bullet on screen. Moves from side to side inside of the screen and spawns bullets when fire button are pressed by player.
Enemy #1 – Graphic, location, speed, hitbox, HP, Several bullets on screen, points. Moves around on the screen simultaneously with […]

Dungeons & Dragons!
One of our first game designing experiences were when we got introduced to a board game called Dungeons and Dragons. This is a very old board game that has been inspiration to many board games today. Our task was to create a own character with different attributes and learn that the different stats would completely change the gameplay. If you play a mage you would need more wisdom to be able to cast your spells more effective and if you […]

3D Week 1
The fall semester has started and Tuesday we had our very first 3D lesson. We had an introduction to the course and went through the elements of art before, in groups, analysing how they were applied in a few game screenshots.
The first image we discussed in our group was from Batman. The very first thing you see when looking at the image is the bad guy standing over Batman who is lying […]

Greetings.
As I recently resumed school to go Game Design, I have been told to make a blog. As such, here I am.
This will be where I talk about my studies, and upload art and finished products that has to do with them, or I deem acceptable to upload here. My posting habits will be a bit erratic at best, with no sense of regularity.
Which means I will update this blog whenever I have something to update it with instead of […]

3D I, Week 1
This is my blog post for the first week of our 3D I course.
Firstly, I’ll go through the first class of this week. Among some general information about what we will be studying, the first lesson included a recap of various art elements, along with a group exercise to analyze game screenshots.
While the group I sat with was assigned to a different set of screenshots, I’d like to talk briefly about one picture that immediately stood out to me while […]
