Menu Background

So far this week I’ve been finishing the main menu background. I think it turned out good, except I didn’t have time to add more playground things like a swing or some scattered toys. I decided to cut that to save time. But I still think the background works just fine.
Here it is without the menu buttons.

I am rather pleased with the result, I didn’t use any strange techniques or anything weird. It’s all done with a couple of […]

Something different

I did not know I would ever get to say this, but I am actually running low on work. The last few weeks the amount of work I had to do have been getting less and less. I am afraid I will have to dig up something old to write about next week.
Anyway, this week I did something a little bit different, I made the sketch of the background for the options menu. I do not usually do very good […]

Project – Week 7

Next week is the last week of the project, and it’s all about finishing and making things work.
This week I’m going to talk about the death animation for the enemy character. I had some major problems with this animation earlier (but for the player character, see the Project – Week 5 post), but since then I’ve been thinking a lot about different ways to tackle the problem.
When I worked on the player death animation I had a huge problem with […]

Week 9 – Hidden Rooms

This week I have worked with the rooms and I have continued my work of adding details to them. Since I already have gone through this process in an earlier post, I will focus on explaining how I created the hidden rooms and my thoughts about them.
The anticipated idea of the hidden rooms; when the player goes beneath the wall the hidden room will become revealed. In the hidden rooms the player can find treasure chests that contain textiles that […]

Save the Best for Last

Or just the things that are not as important. This week I indulged myself in some graphical things that needed to be done to make the game  bit prettier.
One of the first things I did was the health-bar for the bosses. As of before I made the graphic for it, it was a simple red bar at top of the screen. I simply just made it a more flashy bar. I started with an black silhouette st playing around in […]

Light at the end of the tunnel

This week has been filled with pretty much the same as last week, mastering, mixing, editing, iterating and a lot of listening. It takes e certain amount of coffee to bear with these kinds of things because if you are unlucky, you could spend an entire day making sure one sound is just right, and that means playing it over and over and over and over again.
When dealing with a lot of sounds that are going to be played at […]

Death

Last week I finally finished the death animation for the main character in “Terminal”, this turned out to be quite a challenge. I found it very difficult imagining how one would fall when dying and I did some sketches of how she might look when lying on the floor. I thought about googleing “dead girl” but I was afraid of what I would see so I just had to use my imagination.
I had one “death pose” that I liked although […]

Reflektion av veckans arbete: Vecka 6

Såhär på slutet av projektet har jag inte direkt påbörjat något nytt utan mest fixat diverse små saker. Men något som jag har gjort är en game over screen och mockup. Jag fick önskemål och att den döda fisken(alltså sista bilden i dödsanimationen) skulle vara med och att den skulle ha en mörk bakgrund från gruppens lead designer. Jag googlade lite på game over screens och något som verkade vanligt var rött av nått slag vilket jag testade men tyckte […]

Play-Area Objects

This week I actually have been able to work on something a little bit different than I have until now. Most of the animations are already finished and implemented, with the exception of the main character’s spawn animation (which is finished but still have to be implemented) and the potential boss’ animations (which is currently being made by the other graphical artists in the project).
This time I have been able to focus more on the graphics for the games […]
