First week of game development

Last week started for me and my group with brainstorming possible changes we could make for the game concept “Dangerous Dander”, so that we would make it our own. We decided to change the setting of the game, and thereby also the different types of NPC’s. Most of the changes we made straight off the bat were done to scale down the variation of weapons and power ups available to the player, thinking that we should get down to the […]

Scrum day

I didn’t write anything about Thursday and Friday, worked on the hiding function prototype and the GDC those days, we also went through out GDC and synced up our work and made sure there weren’t any differences in our versions.
Today we had help by Lee to write our Scrum document and we spent most of the day writing on it albeit it didn’t quite get finished. I see the use of having everything that needs to be done for the […]

Weekly Report – 2014-01-27

Hello! It’s been a while, so I might as well start again before I lose all motivation. The reason why I haven’t posted in a while is because there hasn’t been much to report on. We have just spent our time on wrapping up loose ends from the previous semester before starting on the continuation courses which began at the start of last week.
Much of the focus has once again shifted to design as my group from the design project […]

“Terminal”

“Bloodshot eyes”
The last week has been absolutely grueling on my psyche. Not enough sleep and not enough PERCEIVED productivity. But, we’re back working together in larger groups, and that suits me just fine!
We’ve been tasked to do a game from a stack of game design documents that were created by the class this autumn (OUR PROJECT, “WITH LOVE” WAS IN THE TOP THREE!). There were thirteen options, some of them a lot more feasible then others. We chose a project […]

Wait, what project?

This week has been a complete mess. We started with our development project this week, however, I didn’t know that, and as a reslut I missed pretty much the entire introduction to the course, as well as the first meeting with my group. Apparently, the reason for this lack of information is that I wasn’t properly signed up for this semester, and therefore I’ve been running around, trying to set things right. 
As it appears, everything is now as it’s suposed […]

Sketch Dump 7

For about two weeks I have sketched nothing but arms and legs to get a better understanding of their anatomy. Arms have been a thorn in my side for a long while and I realized that it was because I have predominantly used female references. The problem I had was that women (most women, anyway) don’t have the type of  muscular definition that allowed me to get a good grip on where the various muscles are positioned. Without this essential understanding […]

Forgot about the gorram blog. Anyway doodled something that could be considered to be concept art, so that’s something at least.

We put one of the attack-animations into the game by creating an object that we called “player 1 attack” and that appears when you press “c”. It does not have any collisions yet but will be the animations that decides whether or not player1 have hit an enemy.

Global game jam 2014 – Last Letter

We had a pretty good idea for a “think outside the box” game for the global game jam 2014 so we went for it. The result was the game “Last Letter”. We put about 8 hours into it.
It’s a very unusual survival game. Enjoy!
