Problem
Today we got yet another assignment which was to find a subject that might fit into a serious game. Then we should research it and find out its key issues/problems and then we should think how it could be implemented in a video game, and what the game could try and achieve. This is supposed to be written down in around 2-5 pages until friday, so I better find a subject… PRONTO.

Multiplication and addition through binary operations
In order to get more comfortable using bitwise operators such as & | ^ ~ in the course Advanced C++ 2 for games, we received our first sub-assignment. Performing multiplication and addition through binary operations only.
For addition we used the follow algorithm:
We have two integers, 39(0010 0111) and 23(0001 0111).
1. Perform XOR on them and store the results in a new integer we call sum. This will compare the bits of the integer and return a value were the […]

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 …

Baby steps.
Testing out the new blog I’ve been setting up to use for school thingies. I haven’t really many things to discuss in this post other than I’m super stoked for the rest of the year, can’t wait until I can dig down in a pile of code again! I have been programming for about 4 years but nothing gaming related, mostly arranging numbers and names but hey, I gotta start somewhere right?

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 […]

Mechanics Design Final Product
This is my final resource design for my course Serious Games. Unfortunately, I could not find a way to post the xml file that will make the picture interactive meaning that you can’t run it 🙁
Anyway, the basic idea is that you start with 500 money that you can invest in 2 different options. Energy and property but you can’t invest in property unless you have water and electricity. So you start with investing in energy with which you […]

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!

Bla bla bla Hej hej! Här är en bild som jag har gjort. Den är ganska fin tycker jag.
Här kan man skriva lite mer text så ser det ut som jag har något vettigt att säga men det har jag inte just nu. Det var ju kanske tråkigt kan man tycka men det får lov att vara så för jag måste testa och se hur det ser ut.Utfyllningstext bla bla bla.Det här blev ju i […]

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 […]
