Cogwheels

By: Petter Vernersson

Hi, this week I have been working with my group in our board game project. We are making a game were you use cogwheels for movement. It has been really hard to work whit because the cogwheels that we made does not work that well. Hopefully it will get easier now because we have got the cogwheels that we had ordered.

They look a lot better than the ones we made.

This week I have continuing working on the Shoot em up assignment.
I have been working on something that sort of resembles a one-page design, but right now it’s a clusterfuck of different mechanics. I need to take each mechanic on a single page and really explain how each mechanic should work.I’m thinking of doing one for everything that the player controls, one for AI and one for levels. I will probably also make on that explains the Paper-prototype.
Now I need […]

Revamp!

By: David Forssell

Time for a lot of text!
So today I was in school working with my group from 10 a.m. – 8 p.m., we did QA(Quality Assurance) the entire day and improved the game. The main goal was to create ways for the wizard to split up players, since during the QA last friday we discovered that it was too easy for the heroes when they stick together.
So we decided to add these spells:

Switcheroo:
Choose a player and a […]

Concept and game mechanics morphing into a game

By: Ladbon Svampbob

It’s hard creating concept that matches the vision of a game.
You can always create an art style so the graphical people can molest it to no end but to actually make something so beautiful that you implement it directly to a game? impossible some would say, others would call it a developers nightmare. I
I call it an opportunity. Artists are merely there to envision your game usually, a method of artistically showing your mind on a canvas by being their […]

Pablo Escobar Serious game

By: Inge Olaisen

I wrote a whole lot yesterday that I saved as a draft, thus there will be two posts today.
Anyway today we had the third meeting of the week, in just as many days. This time however we had someone who wasn’t a part of the group to join us when we were testing the game that we had. The feedback we got was something we had thought about, but it was said and explained in such a fashion that we […]

Interface design and progress on serious games

By: Inge Olaisen

Today we had a lecture about interface design. There’s a lot of things you don’t think about when creating an interface, but after we had the lecture I thought it was more or less obvious. I didn’t know that we had a focus area when we are looking at things, however when now being aware of it, you notice it right away. You only see a certain small point of the screen. Also you do see stuff outside, but the […]

Board game progress report (Advanced Game Design) – 20131023

By: Axel Räntilä

Today, some big progress was made to the development of our board game. Thanks to the work of our group mate Christian Roupé, we now now have a new board that is (hopefully) more balanced than our previous board.

One problem we had with out previous board was that the distance to the search areas were different for each player. But now, the distance should be the same for everyone, meaning that no player has an […]

Board game progress report (Advanced Game Desgin) – 20131022

By: Axel Räntilä

Today, some members in the group where busy with other things, meaning that we couldn’t work together as a group this very day. However today me and my group mate Emanuel Palm sat down and work on the design document of our game, which is available at this project’s Wiki Page. Note that it is still in development as of writing this, so things might change.
A design document is not necessarily a document, it can be a wiki […]

Board Game Decisions – Design Document

By: Emelie Teinler

Yesterday we made a few decisions on what was left to be done in order to make the game and system better. We wrote down a list and divided up the work. I decided that I wanted to work on the design document. It is something that I think is good to learn how to do, even though we have done a few of them I don’t feel confident about doing one. Our second prototype will be really interesting to […]

Telephone Snake

By: David Peldan

Today i spent some time working with my group on the game design project where we got the words Telephone and Snake to work with.
The game should also be a space shooter.
And with these words we are supposed to create a game up to the point of production, so paper prototype testing, design documents and so on.
The game idea is that you are trying to find signal for your phone, while you are running around in different landscapes such as […]
