Personal View on the Pitches

Today the different groups gathered to show their pitches for the space shooter concepts that we have been working on for the last five weeks. I took small notes during every other group’s pitch which will be presented below. Keep in mind that these are my subjective opinions, and each text is written during or just after the pitch was presented. There is also no text on the game ”Green Warden”, since this was from my group and I concider myself […]

Developement Diary; part 10

Earlier today I justified my choice of music that I felt represented the game’s ‘feel’.
This is what I said:
“As I heard the song ‘Success with Baboon’ I had a vision. This vision became, for me, the intro sequence of the game and it was similar to this; Monsieur Singe, our protagonist, is awakened by murmurs. Drowsily walking over to the window facing these muffled voices, he discovers that strange creatures wielding the power to revoke his claim to territory (sponges), […]

Why Are Developers Suffering?

EDIT 1:You know when you write a rant, explaining everything that’s wrong with the world and forget the fucking question you tried to answer?
This is the only thing I kept.
”Are we suffering because everybody else is ? Are we meant to work ourselves to death so our children can run amok with the money we left behind ?”
EDIT 2: I just did it again….
I’ll put this quote in because I enjoyed it, a bit of side tracking.
”You are basically writing […]

Game Connection & Paris

I just came back from Game Connection in Paris yesterday and it has been quite the experience. I was primarily there to pitch Braindusts new game BlastCat to publishers and I must say it went quite well. Had a lot of good meetings (both planned and spontaneous) and have a lot of promising contacts to follow up on, these are interesting times indeed.
If you’re unfamiliar with what Game Connection is: it’s basically a dating service for games […]

Assignment 3 week8

So I was not able to deliver this post last week as I was not finished with building the mesh, and I wanted to ask for help before posting this so that everything was “right” before I did it.
Now to how far I have come with this:

Now that the structure is almost done, soon I will have to apply the texture. I did some distortions on the picture as you can […]

Mystery project is “Desert Raiders” – Game explained – Post #3

I have decided on a production name of my mystery project, it’s now called “Desert Raiders”.
The game is a competative multiplayer arena style game for 2-4 players. The goal of an arena match is to defeat all opponents and be the only player left standing. The core mechanics are simple, players place explosives in order to destroy destructible objects and damage other players.
Descructible objects can drop upgrades that improve players explosives during a match. Players can also have unique special abilities, such as “dash”, “remote explosive” or “teleport”. […]
