Serious games boardgame start and Advanced game design Continueation
Today we got a assignment from the serious game course, to make a serious board game about a up to date topic. Me and my group came up with a basic concept about the homeless in Stockholm. We needed it to be small and precise in order to be able to convey the message through a board game.
We then started thinking about what the best way of conveying this to the player would be. Being shown from the homeless perspective […]

Learning Video Game Design – Making Board Games
Time for a quick post.
Even though I’m reading two courses about video game design right now, I’m currently tasked with making a board game (in a group) in each course. Why is that? In my opinion, the reason for this is because video games and board games has more stuff in common than most people might think when it comes to the design part of the respective kind of game. For example, if you break down a strategy video games […]

How to manage a team
Being a lead designer is hard. You have to keep up with both your artists, programmers and keep getting information and try not to sound like a douche when taking everything in.
Jesus that’s hard! We already made a schedule for everything but the sooner we’re done with stuff we find ourself doing more and more just because there is so much new we need to balance into the game. Our first real programming meeting went forward one step with the mechanics […]

Anyways, last Friday we had the game jam, and boy did we fail. Well sort of at least.
Our game was the space shooter where you couldn’t shoot properly, and there was no ammo count. We ran […]

Board Game System Meeting
Yesterday, we had our first group meeting discussing our board game system that we are going to make.
We decided on our aesthetic goal for it. We wanted the player to experience different emotions of excitement, intense competition and an element of strategy.
I get excited about the challenge in meeting those requirements in the game and I hope that we will be able to make it happen.
When we had discussed the aesthetic goal that we wanted to achieve then we moved […]

“Fun”
Howdy.
There’s one word that keeps reappearing during my studies : “Fun”. What actually constitutes “fun”? Is “fun” objective or just ruled by preferences? I honestly don’t know.
Scott Rogers writes in his book “Level Up! : The guide to great video game design” that he hates “fun”. It’s an innately bad question to ask a game designer if he thinks that his game is “fun”, as he or she can’t possibly know how much “fun” his or her game is. Scott […]
