Big Game Project (week 1)

The Big Game Project has finally begun and things are going great so far. This week I’m not going to spoil too much about the game that we are creating but go more into detail what I’ve been working with.
This week I’ve been focusing on re-drawing the material placeholders that I drew last weekend. If I haven’t mentioned before, I use Photoshop and my Wacom Intuos 4S for most of my drawings, If I use other tools I’ll be mentioning […]

Role of a Producer (Week 1)

Hey there! it’s been a while since my last post and I will try and do one post every week now 🙂
This week I started a new course that is called “Big Game”, we have 10 weeks to do a game that will be presented on GGC(Gotland Game Conference) at the end of May. During this project I am going to be the producer which basically means that I will be  the one that knows everything about the process, thinks […]

Highscore SDL

Just made something to keep track of highscores. It remembers only three values.
First it tells the player in the console which score he got.
Then I read from the text file which the previous scores are in, then I compare the current score with these. If it’s higher than any of them it is pushbacked into a vector together with them (if it’s the highest of all of them it is written in the console that you’ve got the highscore). The vector […]

FSM – finitie state machine

A finite state machine. Something I’d never heard of. The task said that you should make three different AI-states for enemies, but it was not as simple as expected. We had three different states, but we had no state machine for it, so we couldn’t get points for that either.
We had to get points for that.
We made the state machine by making the enemy’s update-function into a small state manager that updated different states. The states were object that inherited […]

Getting rid of old stuff

I’m so happy that themepark has begun! And I really want to start working on our game! But I can’t, and I feel so bad about that.
There’s a task that I have not completed that I have to do first.
It’s for one of the previous courses in which we were supposed to make a game that included some stuff on a list, for example a collisionmanager and a statemanager. I thought we were almost completed with this project, but I […]

Big Game Project: First week

This is my first entry, these following weeks I will do my work and then reflect upon it. I will also include in this first entry of what our game is about.
Our game is a puzzle game which is based on mirrors reflecting light from a source to a destination. It all takes place in a temple which is in the desert.
 
I had a slow start, I had to wait for about two days before I could start working, […]
