Project Terminal – Game Logo
I got the honor to design the game logotype for the game menu screen. One might think that it is a quick thing to make, but like most assets it’s as challenging as you choose to make of it. I’d say that designing text actually is one of the more challenging things I’ve gotten to do since the letters have to read easily. I made three different designs before we got one that felt right.
After a while of pondering I […]

Intro
I have been very busy lately working on a comic book page styled intro for our game “Terminal” and I thought I should give you an update of what I have been doing.
As we had a storyboard assignment for the 2D course last week I thought I could kill two birds with one stone, since it was practically the same thing that I needed to do for this project. I reworked and added to a very basic storyboard that I […]

Project Report 2014-03-19
This week the only thing of particular note that I’ve been working on has been different iterations of our game’s final room, or level. In pure practical terms it’s gone along like any other level I’ve designed, but its import must not be underestimated. Like a beginning, an experience must have an ending. A bad ending is one feeling just like any other part of the game, making the player not expecting there to be one and feeling unsatisfied when […]

Macy's and the Cheese Cake Factory
For the past two days I’ve been going in to Macy’s. Last night I also found my way to the Cheese Cake Factory on the top floor of the Macy’s-building and HOLY FUCK, sorry, Oh My!! was it a feast for the eye?! The interior design of the place is …

Storyboarding exercise!
Last week’s assignment for my 2d-graphics course was to create a storyboard for a game. I chose to do a Mirror’s edge inspired sequence where the player character receives a valuable bag from a fellow runner. The cops later invade the rooftop where both runners are and the chasing begins.
This was a segment of a scene I have had in my head for quite some time now ever since I first played Mirror’s edge back in 2009. I was […]

Level Design, Part 1
The first part on our level design course was to alone or in a group of two create a level in the Knytt engine, the purpose of the level was environmental storytelling and therefor no text or introduction was allowed more than the name of the game. I was working together with a programmer and together we came up with a good story (in our opinions). Here is a piece from my report describing some thought throw-out the proses and […]

The Ranged Protester!
This is the movement sequence for the ranged protester! before we only had police enemies that attacked the player, and we did not want to make a statement of taking a side, it’s the old man versus the whole world and vice versa! the coding will be the same as for the ranged police, I’m just adding new sprites.

Friday Speed Paint
This is something I painted in about an hour and a half to practice rendering in grey scale and increasing my work speed, not getting caught up in details. I started with a rough sketch that I cleaned up into line art. I started rendering with a dark background, adding light where needed and blending it with the smudge tool. For the finishing touches I added some extra highlights and I thought about colouring it, but I like it better […]

Dirt sprites, UI and menu background.
This week I’ve been working on some dirt sprites, the UI and the main menu background.
The dirt sprites are very simple transparent layers with some dirt and mud added. The game will then just lay that over the sprites when you get muddy to illustrate that you actually are. I just used some preset brushes in Photoshop to make the dirt, nothing fancy, only took about one hour to make all the sprites. I made three different dirt levels in […]

Uneventful week :I
Hello, this week has actually been pretty uneventful. We are getting towards the end of the to-do list when it comes to art. I don’t really have much to write about, but I will do my best. Here comes this week’s blog post (woho). This week my assignment was to finish the level two of the customization picture of the truck. I have been trying to draw the levels of the trucks so that they look like the trucks from […]

Weekly post. Sound Design
Hello world.
This week I’ve focusing on creating sound and fine tuning the last on the design document. The sound for this week have been growling sound that indicates that the character is low on hunger, showing that the avatar is close to death. The idea is to start playing the sound at 50% hunger at really low volume, then increase the volume as the players hunger is decreasing. As well as that I am working on a way to […]
