The end is near
The project is getting close to the end but that has not changed the amount of work I have to do. I still have a lot of animations to do. The attack animations for the children and the strafe animations for the player characters is what I am doing right now. I am also making a hover effect for the menu buttons.
I find it difficult to make good strafe animations. No matter what I do it ends up looking weird […]

A comfortable place to rest
This week I have mostly been continuing my work with furniture and other things in the environment.
Since the first level is supposed to be in the “backgrounds” of the airport, where the administrative staff works, and where all employees have their locker rooms and lunch area for example, we wanted it to look a bit like the typical workplace. But until now there hasn’t been any where to actually do some work.
One thing I made this week was some computers. […]

Game Project Week 8 – Adding Details
This week I continued my work with the environment adding details which I have covered in an earlier blog post so I’m just going to go into more depth about the work flow.
I started to fringe the edges using a couple brushes that I created earlier. I placed the fringe in a layer which is placed underneath the texture layer, at that point it looked pretty badly and nothing like a thorn piece of clothing, which I was aiming for. […]

Explaining the ”Noise maker”
This week I’ve been working on completing our design documents since we got a few comments on our first hand in.
The picture above is the image I made to briefly explain how one of our usable items will work. The Item I’m referring to is the ”Noise maker”. This item is meant to be a none-violent alternative to the rest of the players arsenal. It’s supposed to be a single use item which emits sound circles that will draw […]

Guard running and alerted animation
This week I have continued on the animations. One of the animations I have made this week was a run animation for the guard. This run animation is going to be in the chase state when the guard has detected the spy.
So I started by modifying the walk animation to see how it might look. I did this by removing some frames, but that made it look like the guard was walking really fast. I mixed around a bit with […]

Addressing Feedback
Apologies for the slight delay and relatively sparse content of this post, I’ve spent most of this week focusing on preparing for the Beta presentation, as well as fixing up my group’s design document for the second hand-in.
Nevertheless, it’s Thursday, so it’s time for another blog post. Thankfully not all of my time this week has been spent writing documents and practicing speeches, as I had some time to address some feedback we got during our playtesting. A recurring theme […]

Reflektion av veckans arbete: Vecka 5
Denna vecka har jag mest fortsatt på redan påbörjade saker, tillexempel animerat enemy:n från förra veckan. Gjort en game over screen mockup, fortsatt att bygga på options till en in game version och så vidare. Något jag också gjort är tutorial buttons. Vi hade tänkt oss att knapparna man ska använda ska dyka upp på skärmen och sedan försvinna när de används, i en steg för steg guide. Alltså så kommer knapparna som kontrollerar avataren upp först, sedan hur man […]

Tying up loose ends
This week I’ve mostly been working on getting the final editing done to all of the sounds that we are going to use in our game. To ensure an even level of volume I had to apply either one of these tools – Audio normalization or Compression.
Audio Normalization Audio normalization is the process of adding a constant amount of gain to an audio recording to bring the average or peak amplitude to a target level. What this means is that you change […]

First impressions; designing a themed main menu
The very first thing a player sees when he/she starts up a game is, in most cases, the main menu. And since, as we all know, first impressions matter, it matters greatly to set the theme and feel for the game! We had previously decided to have the player play as a tailors ”little helper” (think of the mice in Disney’s ”Cinderella”), and so we wanted to use the main menu to make that connection. As such we concluded that […]
