Completing the scrolling shooter in GM

The scrolling shooter game whose creation steps I described in one of the previous posts was the first really playable version – i.e., you had a challenge (approaching enemy planes) and an action to overcome the challenge (shoot/avoid the enemy planes).
However, that version was pretty bland. There was only one kind of enemy planes and hitting any one of them meant losing the game. Boring.
In this post I present the next version of the game, here. I’m not going through the […]

Fancy Mansion

As I’m not quite that good, I don’t have any photos, but today my group was to show our paper prototype of a game we’re designing according to the words of ”Fancy pants” and ”Clueless”… To our teacher.
With fog of war, a great storyteller/game master, and a lot of playtesting, our fany pants rich man with a gun got to chase after the burglar in his home, who kept hiding. Our teacher played very diffrently from our group, taking the route […]

Japanese guestlecture

Two days ago, me and my class got a guestlecture from three japanese sounddesigners and music composers. One of them presented his composed music and the programs that he use. One of these were Sonar X3, which we tested after his presentation. In their studio in the D-bulding, we students were divided in teams of two-four who shared the four available computers in the room.
The assignment was to compose Pyotr Tchaikovskys piano concerto no. 1 with Sonar X3. Me […]

Assignment 3 – Character game world

In my latest blog post I wrote about the background of the character I got to model and skin as the last assignment of our 3D graphics course. In this post I’ll be talking a about the character world for the Pilot character I chose for my pre-production package that is going to be modeled by Henrik Forsman (http://barthuc.wordpress.com). If you are interested in more information about my chosen character and in following the modeling process, I suggest you […]

This week we tried to do some face scanning using photos added into “123D Catch”. One has to take several pictures from different angles and add it into the software which in turn adds all the pictures into one 3D model that one can work on. This 3D model would later on be imported to the 3D coating program. In the 3D coating program we try to apply poly surfaces to complete a human face that can be put onto […]

3D Week 7 – Assignment 3 update

Here’s an update on how I’m doing on the third assignment in the 3D1 course. For the third assignment we’re modelling characters based on another students’ character concept. I’m modelling the character Vinda, who you can read about in my post about her over here: “About Vinda”

I should have made an update on how far I’d gotten with my work on this character last week, but as I […]

Update statūs studiōrum

Almost a month A reasonable amount of time has passed after the previous post. Here is some update about what happened during that time.
Swedish communication course:
* compose a scientific article about a topic related to your studies (in Swedish)
I decided not to oversimplify things and composed a text that could really qualify for something that (at least in form) is close to a scientific article. You know one with formulae [sic!], citations in square brackets [ ] and a reference/bibliography list at […]
