Artifact Post 5 – Stars and… well, that’s all there is…
This week has been mostly about getting stuff done for the Beta. That means lots of artifacts done and lots of artifacts to do, so let’s get going with one of those.
This time around, the focus is on the collectibles in the game – stars (because it is always stars) and how they are handled. The stars will pretty much always appear whenever an […]

Polish, polszczyzna
With the last two weeks of the project started i have begun polishing the final things of the project as i wasn’t working on anything very specific. Bolt is working on the AI for the guards and then are going to work on lighting so he’ll be busy for most of the time from now on. Leonard is adding more sounds this week but will start helping me with polish stuff in the final week.
Today we did a lot of […]

Level Design, Part 1
The first part on our level design course was to alone or in a group of two create a level in the Knytt engine, the purpose of the level was environmental storytelling and therefor no text or introduction was allowed more than the name of the game. I was working together with a programmer and together we came up with a good story (in our opinions). Here is a piece from my report describing some thought throw-out the proses and […]

The Ranged Protester!
This is the movement sequence for the ranged protester! before we only had police enemies that attacked the player, and we did not want to make a statement of taking a side, it’s the old man versus the whole world and vice versa! the coding will be the same as for the ranged police, I’m just adding new sprites.

Friday Speed Paint
This is something I painted in about an hour and a half to practice rendering in grey scale and increasing my work speed, not getting caught up in details. I started with a rough sketch that I cleaned up into line art. I started rendering with a dark background, adding light where needed and blending it with the smudge tool. For the finishing touches I added some extra highlights and I thought about colouring it, but I like it better […]

Codename: Haunted Light – Redirection
In the last post I wrote that I was going to go through how our level generation worked, but due to missed deadlines we’ve been forced to push the implementation of that feature to later when we have a working path-finding since we prioritize having a challenging game rather than a fancy level-generation. Because of that unfortunate turn of events I’ll now write about how our A-star implementation currently works instead.
Before I even […]

(Part 2) Swedish Game Awards Conference 2014 Report – Talks
Another thing that also happens during SGA Conferences is talks from various people in the game industry. Below is a short summary of the talks that I could attend.
Romi Gråhed from DICE had a talk about development of games in general, what pitfalls a developer might run into and some general tips and tricks for better development of games.
Linnea Harrison from DICE has a talk about something that DICE calles Levolution. In short, it’s how you can change a level in […]

Binary files in c++
Insomnia strikes again, so I might as well spend the time trying to sleep to post something. This time I’m going to touch into a subject that I believe is the reason why I got the revelation about how memory management works. As the subject says, it’s about reading binary files.
The first thing you do is to include the #include
Next step is fairly simple:
std::ifstream filenamestream(“Filename with path and everything”, std::ios_base::binary);
Normally the filenamestream variable is called a stream. Often I […]

Haunted Light – Buttons and Menus!
Hello readers! This week I’ve been working on getting buttons into the menus and assign what they are going to do. After creating the button class it felt natural for me to take the task of putting them into the game and it’s menus, since I was the one that, probably and hopefully, knew the most about how they were made and how they work. If you don’t know how the buttons work, I’ll cover it shortly but I recommend […]

Downtime
This Monday we had a play testing where we got very much and good feedback. But one thing we have been discussing in the group is the downtime in our game – the time where there isn’t much to do in the game. For example when you have killed a boss and have to run all the way back to the beginning and you probably have killed all the enemies on your way to the boss already. Or if you […]

Code files and assistance
In the previous blog post I promised that I would update on what I did last week with the coding part, so I will get into that a bit further now. Note that I will write and do write about the last week’s work, and not the current one. Anyway as I’ve said I tried to code some sort of highscore list, but before doing that you’ll need to implement a way to write from file and read to file. […]
