The process
To be honest, I never used to care much about environment drawings and paintings until quite recently. I found it to be easier and much more stimulating to design characters. But I have decided to push myself to draw things I’m really bad at in order to improve those skills and subsequently the skills I already tried to improve.So I’ve begun to draw/paint environments. As you can see, I usually make a physical concept sketch which I tHen redraw digitally […]

Our very first game
Last week we had a seminar during which we were asked to play a game called “Sissyfight 3000”, basically it’s a bullying game in which the players are to gang up against each other.Earlier in the day we had a lecture about the MDA (Mechanichs, Dynamics, Aestethics) so when we had played for a while we were asked to change the dynamics and create our own version of the game. The only thing we had to keep was the “target->action” […]

Analysis report, Gloom and other things in mind
I’ve been trying to write a section of my analysis report today. It took me all day to get down just a few words. I can’t believe how rusty I am at this writing thing.So first things first: I started up by writing down a few topics I need to have in the …

Machinations and other things
This week we got assigned to try out something called Machinations. It’s a tool to help you visualize/test a game mechanic you wish to have in your game and for our assignment we were to use it to simulate a resource kind of game, you know, like Settlers …

First few weeks at GAME
I have now studied game design at Uppsala University for three weeks, last week and this week I have been feeling like we’re really getting started. We’ve had our first assignment in communications class and I personally found it very difficult to find a subject and writing a bit more scientifically about something artistic. I decided to write my popular science article about Concept Art which turned out quite well and received good critique from my group. The critiquing of […]

Sketch Dump 2
I’ve been practising a lot of anatomy the last 2 weeks since I finally got my hands on Albinus on Anatomy, an absolute god-send to character artists. But I’ve also done a lot of environment concepts in my sketch book so that when I’m able to spend more time on them, I can do so in Photoshop. Which I have. Currently working on the last of the four sketches you can see in this dump.TGIF!

An investment of time and soul.
A few days ago I invested both time and a little bit of money in something I never thought I’d touch;
The WarZ, now known as Infestation: Survivor Stories.
15€ on steam. As a poor student, I could have used that money to buy something else; a good game, food, drinks. So why did I buy it? Well, there is a certain attraction in playing such a controversial title. That and, well, I did enjoy DayZ. Despite all it’s flaws, there was […]
