Project Report 2014-02-20
This week I’ve been working mainly on the Alpha presentation due Friday. It’ll be a short endeavour with an introduction speech and a subsequent showing of the game in this early phase. The shorter the presentation the more time required to prepare, as you need to figure out a way to cram as much information as simply as possible that can be relayed under the span of a handful of minutes. A most time consuming process as every sentence I […]

Treshhold overcomed
This week has been a series of half-assed opinions and motivations boosts for our group. We’ve been working on getting our orientation between our states better handled, getting sound into our game, customizing our character and getting a score to show up on the screen. Our producer have been tackled with the presentation assignment and working out the documentation for our group while I took a leave of absent from being a lead designer(when it came to documentation) and focused […]

Bad day(sort of)
It got a bit late last night so i decided to write the blog post today instead.
Yesterday i worked alone adding an attack method for the player which depended which weapon the player had equipped at the current time, i had limited success and decided i should wait until the collisions and items had been implemented before doing it.
During the afternoon i worked on re-implementing the collision between player-Guard and player-Exit, i did this by moving them from the Engine […]

Project Aurora, post 5, (Blog Assignment 2)
This is my second blog post as part of the blog assignment we have in our class.Today I will go deeper into animations. Earlier we had it so animations could be loaded and played but only one type of animation and animations couldn’t be switched.
The player animations is loaded from a .png file then a sprite/picture is cut out using a rectangle in this case sf::intrect. This rectangle is then stored in a vector. So then I had a vector […]

Soundripples
Prepare for a long blog post. Go get some coffee or something becuase here we go (:
Since we make a stealth action game we needed to handle light and sound in a smart way since guards will see or hear you.Since I already made a blogpost about the light I wont bring it up except small parts of it. This post will focus on the hearing detection of the guards.
What did I need?Our main character and the guards will emit […]

Back to programming!
So last week I finished the Design document so this week I got start programming again. So on Monday we had our usual scrum meeting were I chose to do parts of the user interface. In more detail my assignment was doing the health bar, ammo bar and arrows.
Now I began doing the health bar because that was the most important U.I feature to get done before the alpha launch. We needed a health bar that was going to fill […]

Working with the UI
Hello again, it’s time for another post about our 10 week project “Possession”!
This week I started on working with the User Interface. The UI is what the player can see on the screen, such as health bars and current power-ups. This artifact can be a little difficult to work with, since I have to discuss a lot about what looks good, and how we want the UI to look in game. I started out drawing icons for the elements fire, […]

Game project – The week of the Trees
First of im gonna start with talking about the last post. In the parallax picture you could se a soft mist around the mountains. I changed that to fit the art style we are going for.
Here you can see it. I made a swirly and strong mist instead of the soft one.
And now to what I have been working on this week.
Trees I have mainly worked on trees for the background. I don’t know how many I have done […]

Gamejam Afterthoughts
Participated in my first ever gamejam yesterday, and despite it not turning out exactly optimal, it still was one of the most fun things I have ever done. This was also a quite short gamejam, spanning only 7 hours, from 11:00 to 18:00.
We were to make a game based on the words everyday and doom, and those two words could be freely interpreted. After some quick scouting around, I made a group together with William Nordin, Simon Strandh, […]

First Post
I have to do this, don’t I?
Oh well.
First post ever, guess I should introduce myself, aswell as what I’m going to write on this blog.
My name is Jonas Lundgren, I’m currently studying game design and programming at Uppsala University Campus Gotland in Sweden. I’m 18 years old (turning 19 in one week though!) and love basically anything that has to do with games and gaming.
The games I currently play the most are Dota 2 and World […]
