Developing a boardgame

Hey again, a lot of things has happened since my first post. We’re currently developing a boardgame as our assignment in advanced gamedesign and it’s tough but fun.
The boardgame we’re making currently doesn’t have a name or proper theme yet. As we had our first meeting brainstorming ideas for this assignment we all agreed on making a survival game. We figured using a already existing boardgames board as a base would be a good idea, we picked up the […]

Personal – Free 2 Play – A short reflection

I was reading “Mastering F2P: the Titanic effect” by Ramin Shokrizade at gamasutra.com
http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/RaminShokrizade/20131016/202489/Mastering_F2P_The_Titanic_Effect.php
It made me start to think a bit about the F2P model. Although the article is short and not very rich in content it mad me think about how and when Free to play should be used and when it should not.
In the article Ramin touches the subject of unethical methods in F2P very lightly. He takes Zyngas FrontierVille as an example of unethical use of it. […]

Playtesting

Today we held a playtesting session at school, where we let other groups playtest our game and we played other groups games.
We had managed to create a playable prototype of our board game the days before, but it was still very uncomplete. We need to make a lot of balancing, and probably change the board as well to match the cards. You can read about our game here. 
The other groups games were interesting and one was really fun to […]

The board game project – Overview and personal thoughts

A few days ago we had our first meeting about the board game project. We had some ideas pretty early on.
One of these ideas was to have a game with toy guns which you have to physically shoot other players with.
We had all played “Jungle Speed” and really liked that concept and we discussed if we could recreate the feeling when playing that game.
I’ll Explain in short what Jungle Speed is for those who do not know:
In jungle speed a […]

Designing Systems: Comfort Zone and Personal Space.

well… Let’s just start with these words, it’s half six in the morning and i can not sleep, so I decided to write one of these again. This time we are back to social interaction and how we actually do it in our everyday activity and how it can be applied to games.
To start off most of us got what is called a comfort zone, an area where we feel comfortable aslong as no one else doesn’t enter it without […]

Creating a card based movement system

This week my group and I worked on our board game system for our advanced game design course. The system we are creating is a movement system that uses cards with a number with two colors in as the background and a number 1-4; the background colors correspond to the colored squares on a game board.  In order to move the play uses the card and move he’s/her piece as far as the number on the card and  if the […]

Today I made a new Concept our protagonist. I spent some time on it and I’m happy with the outcome. But I feel that for a 2D game that my concept won’t fit very well, but Ladbon wanted more another concept so here it is.
