“Underwater World”-themed game
Click here to download the .gmx file for the game.
This game was made as an assignment. It had to be made in under 10 hours, and using GameMaker : Studio.
I had the choice between three themes, from which I chose “Underwater World”.
While writing the code, I tried to be as rigorous as possible with semi-colons and indentation, as I realized that my runner game lacked such rigour.
All of the assets in the game, though modest, are original creations.
The goal […]

Procedurally Generated “Runner” Game
This game was created on my free time to better understand GameMaker : Studio.
I used assets gathered on opengameart.org. The player sprite was created by user “Zack Alvarado”, the platforms, by user “E-norm”, and the placeholder background, by user “ansimuz”.
The player has to jump from platform to platform to stay alive to get the best score they can.

Go Game
This game was made as a project for the last year of my “gymnase” studies. It features a Goban which applies the rules of Go (except the “Ko” and “No Suicide” rules).
At the start of the game, the Goban’s dimensions are 19 x 19. The players may choose to play in a smaller Goban by inputting the dimension they wish in the box on top of the Goban. If the players choose dimensions which are smaller than 5, as is […]

Level Design
I have for some time now been working on a level design document for the shoot em up game that my team and I have picked for this project.
As I do not myself have any real knowledge about coding something like this or how to make a good level or a good level design document at all. I started by just thinking about how other games start a level and how they introduce different types of enemies and power-ups in […]

First Week of Production
As I am writing I am just hours away from the first Sprint review meeting, meaning this week will “end”. It’s been a stressful week with loads to do. I must admit though, that I failed as a designer.
We are working with a agile game developing method, scrum, and already from the first meeting my whole team was confused about what that actually meant. Even I that had some lesson in it and had read about it was confused, so […]

The theme is up!
The theme of the conference has been set – we call it M for Mature for short. Let me share a piece by Doris C. Rusch that helped inspire this choice;
“It wasn’t too long ago that a US court ruled that games were not worthy of first amendment protection. They were not understood as adequately expressive or communicative to justify it. Now, games are seen and studied as vehicles for meaning generation. They are […]

WIP 3 – ZBrush Assignment 4
Today, I have finished working on the topology of the two sculpts and this is how they look. I wish I had more time to make them better.

WIP2 – ZBrush Assignment 4
Today, I have worked with the topology on the Jim Broadbent-sculpt. I did not like the result ZRemesher gave me, so have been editing the topology manually. I am not satisfied with the result, but it is better than before, however. I will work more on it if there is time. The old topology is to the left, and the new to the right.

WIP – ZBrush Assignment 4
Yesterday, I started the final assignment of the ZBrush course I’m taking. It is about improving the topology of the models. I started with the sculpt of myself. I think that ZRemesher did a bad job handling this, so I have to manually create the topology I’m looking for. The image shows the old topology to the left and the new topology after using ZRemesher to the right.

Student projects selected for Alt.Ctrl:GDC
Every year, the best and brightest of the game industry gather in San Francisco for the Game Developers Conference (GDC). As part of the 5 day event the organizers also host alt.ctrl.GDC – an on-site showcase of unique games built around alternative control schemes and interactions. Or in their own words: “a chance to play some of the most inventive and innovative games around using unique, one-of-a-kind controllers.”
This year, two of our student teams will be present! Among […]
