Hello Samantha, Adam Olsson here programmer from group lycanthrope. You give a reasonable explanation and recap of what you and your group has been doing these past weeks. I find it interesting to read what challenges you have met under your work, and I can relate to your struggle with the group changing things you came to agree to the last week as my group tended to do similar things from time to time. I can see the […]

Comment : blog post assignment 6
Hey, good post!
I played your game during the last playtesting session, I think. Good job, it was an entertaining game!
Your post was clear throughout ; I enjoyed your insights on the MVP and its importance. It’s true that I can’t imagine how it would’ve been like to work with the waterfall method. At first, I was skeptical about scrum but I find it was the right choice of method.
From a programmer’s perspective, your game had some nice stuff going on, […]

Minor changes, major consequences
Sometimes in life, you have to learn the hard way.
While working late on the enemy AI one night, I decided that I wanted more structure in the hierarchy in the Unity scene I was working in. To structure up the scene I added a number of empty objects and named them after the objects that they would represent in the hierarchy. These empty objects act similarly to ordinary folders when objects are placed as children under them. I was content […]

Post Mortem
The Umibozu project have now been finished after 10 weeks of development. These weeks have both been fun and interesting as well as frustrating, but they have also provided a lot of experience.
The end result of the project ended up being a discovery/adventure style game which concept was based upon the myth of the Umibozu from Japanese culture. The gameplay itself takes place in a labyrinth style setting where the player controls a ship with the objective to gather clues […]

So glad that you learnt a lot and created a wonderful game! Despite the hard time that you had during the process, the outcome indicated everything worth it. I would like to share something regarding the game since i played it. I I love the pixel art and the music, they really suits to each other. Especially the start menu, it instantly brought you into the game and it definitely impressed everyone. Also the game play, the game […]

Hello Timothée,
This blog post was a great read, and as a post mortem it gave me a good insight into your experience working on the project. You write about many different aspects of the development that all seem relevant to a post mortem.
I think for each point you bring up you clearly describe the “what”, “why” and “how”. On top of this, the lessons you […]

Comment for 6th blogpost
Hey Tim,
great blogpost! I think you start of well with a nice introduction and concept summary outlining the game your group has been working on and what your blogpost will be about.
It is interesting to read about how the mentality of going into the development process is affected by the premises – did going into development with this mentality prove a hindrance in some way? For instance, did the reluctance to redesign certain aspects prove problematic, and is there something […]

Done! Post mortem for Depth
I’ll start off by saying that even though my feelings towards the game are mixed, overall I am satisfied with it, and think it turned out well. I’m also happy with my team, we’ve had some friction, but I feel we managed to work with it, also there is a lot of talent in group Ettin, and I’m happy to have had the opportunity to work with them.
So what went right?
The final playtest gave overall positive feedback, so I’ll take […]

I would say it is really a good idea to make all moving objects as children of the class ”MovingObject”. I have never thought about that before. I am a very beginner programmer, I am gladly read this blog and learn something from this blog. I have made scripts for every single moving objects, which is really stupid to compare yours. I could have saved more time to make other things better. If you can write more things […]

This is a great opportunity to read your blog. I’m sorry to hear about the accident in your group project. That really affects the progress of the project. You described the impact of the accident on your game and how you group tried to fix it.
It’s great that you talked about the importance of playtesting at the beginning of your blog, but if the description of the two playtesting Alpha and Beta can be more detailed, that would […]

Hi!
It is nice to read your blog! I like the part you will present the mechanics to the player at the start of your game as an introduction. This is really nice. Many games have a how to play button on the start menu as an introduction, but sometimes people ignore this information and start playing games directly. So it is nice to have a trail at the beginning of the game. This will make the players less […]

Hi, it is nice to read and comment on your blog. After reading your blog, I felt like I misunderstand this assignment, I might need to rewrite my blog again… I have written my whole blog to explain how scrum works in a team. But anyway, let’s get back to your blog. It is good to write both the good and bad influence that scrum brings to your group. To be honest, I have the same feeling with […]
