Perhaps last entry, part #2: Crunch, GGC and aftermath

So the last weeks that has ensued has been quite extreme and somewhat painful, yet very rewarding. It has been way more intense than during the development of CoBots and while we may be commended for our vitality, having to resort to crunch-time is by no means a praiseworthy skill. It boils down to unforseen circumstances, underestimated scheduling, and for my part, procrastination and lack of motivation. In hindsight there is always room for improvement but we figured during the […]

Victory and Future plans

Student choice prize
GGC is over and Agency where able to win the Student choice award. This is a huge accomplishment as it shows that what we were able to create a product that people enjoyed.

The last 3 weeks I have been working on finalizing the cards as well as working on implementing visual feedback to the digital version of the game. After many late hours our work paid off in the end by winning a prize. 

Future plans for […]

Perhaps last entry, part #1: PPX, trailer and more

Due to various near-deadline circumstances, I had to postpone blogging in order to finish the game. Therefore I’ve decided to split this major update into two; the first being a standard blog post with content that should be dated a couple of weeks back, and the second being some pre-GGC, GGC and post-GGC talk (GGC = Gotland Game Conference, if you haven’t read previous posts). So without further ado:

 PPX (Post-Processing Effects) and multiple Cameras
We had this problem where effect occurring on […]

Big Game: GGC and Beyond!

So much for being back on a weekly schedule! 
The last weeks before the Gotland Game Conferance (GGC) were quite crunchy and so the blog had to suffer. To summarize what I did I’ll give you these words: feedback implementation and bug fixing. I added particles aplenty and also added the final animations for various different game objects.
All of our hard work was rewarded during GGC as we managed to secure no less than three awards!
The awards were as following:

Post GGC-thoughts

So GGC is now finally over. Despite technical issues and that the demo ghost was present for me during GGC, I was still able to show of what I made during this course.
Feedback on my gameI couple of people came over and tried my game at the Gotland Game Conference. One thing that many people said was that the game needed more polish and that the player should have gotten more feedback, but it is a good base to keep […]

Big Game Project – GGC

The course Big Game Project is now over and the games were on display for three days during GGC. It was absolutely amazing this year, and we got a lot of valuable feedback that will help us as we continue to develop our game.
Our game Tower Offensive actually ended up winning three awards!

Best Presentation Award – This one is mostly to Emelie’s credit, but we all took part of the glory.
Cha-Ching Award – Given to the game with the best […]

GGC – Big Game Project

This week a rushed to get a stable version of the digital game, which we showed during Gotland Game Conference (GGC). Even though I did as much as I could without crashing, the build still had some bugs during GGC which I had to fix each day after GGC. One of the changes we did the day before GGC was that instead of having a server computer, the server computer could act as a player. That way we didn’t extra […]
