Hello Guy, this is Jesper from Vampire!
After nine years of development, hopefully this comment would have been worth the wait.
I think that you managed to properly communicate the process you went through when searching for a solution for the spawning of the enemies in your game. As a programmer myself I always enjoy seeing that the […]

Hey Felix!
I found this post interesting and easy to read. I like that you started of with bit of background about yourself to make the reader understand your knowledge about playtesting and what experience you already had. I do agree with you that people usually never critique the art the game, but I’ve never really thought about it to be honest. I think it is mostly because everyone have their own ”style” and skill level when it […]

Hey Tomas!
I really like this idea for the Umibozu boss fight. You described well how your group is going to make this happen. And i like that you will keep Umibozu as a shadow and not as a character you can really “see”, because then it is still left to the players imagination, so Umibozu will still be this mysterious creature even after you encounter it.
I also like that you’ve looked up how people who claims have […]

Hey Hampus!
I was away on a trip with my family the week I was suppose to comment on your blog. So will do this now, a little bit too late.
But anyway, I think your post has a good structure. You starting off explaining what scrum is and how it worked for your group. And then you explain the issues you had with it, and how to solve them.
It took my team a while to learn of to […]

Hello there Tim!
It is very clear what you did this week, you explained it well in a clear language that you planned a meeting with your team. It was easy to read and understand.
You also explained how you did it fairly clearly, which you also pointed out could be improved in the future with some better planning. Why it is done is also there, I think it was a good idea to have a meeting at […]

Documenting EVERYTHING
Hello everyone!
I am in team Bugbear and we are were creating the game Umibozu! This post is a bit late, because I was away with my family on a trip to Caribbean.
But anyway, as the designer I was in charge of documenting everything we discussed and if we came to mutual conclusion about something. To see what we had to improve after playtesting, and to make a Design document for our project.
I was very bad at this in the start, […]

This post indeed is valuable as the reader can follow your problem and your ways of solving them in a good and easy way. The reader likewise gets a glimpse of how you thought when trying to solve your problems. You start off by explaining what you have been working on in summary on why you felt it was essential to start with it. Your motivation on why you started with the bee swarm was good because the […]

Hello Maya!
I really liked this post actually. You described in a very clear way what you have done during this week.
And the way you described it was very easy to read. I like how you made small bullets points of what you were looking for during the test and what kind of questions you asked the players. It made it easy to understand what you were meaning and how you made it.
The results in the end that […]

A nice brief description of the main character you made here in an easy to read and an understandable manner. The colors that you have picked for the splash art are really eye-catching and intriguing and maybe that was a big factor many groups chose to work on this concept, props on that.
Using polygamic shapes for both the character and the background in the last picture was brilliant. One thing that I always liked about polygamic art style […]

Hi Edin!
It’s nice to see that you’re bringing a lot from the project. I do agree that there is probably no way of perfecting game making. And even if there was, you will always be working with different people inhabiting different personalities leading to different dynamics – so it probably won’t be the same. I’m also glad to see that you’re expressing your dissatisfaction. I think a lot of the groups, myself included, wanted more than was ultimately produced. But […]

Lost at sea, not on my watch!
We decided as a team, halfway through the development, that some kind of direction indicator was necessary to add to the game. Since we re-designed the gameplay of the game and used a more open world we had to make sure that the players would be able to complete their tasks. It was decided that a compass, pointing to the current objective, should be implemented.
My goal with the compass was to make sure that it directed the player towards their […]

This blog post will document my last work with group Rakshasa and the things I learned from that project.
So, what project? Well, in our group we have made three major projects: A boardgame adaptation of the popular online game Player Unknown Battlegrounds, a concept document for a shoot-‘em-up style game we called ”Trolling them softly” and lastly the creation of a working digital 2D shoot-‘em-up based on a concept document called ”Fear is in me”. Although, as previously specified, this post […]
