Summer work and studies

Today the strangest thing happened when I was driving home from the grocery store.. I already had a workplace for the summer and plans to study life drawing aside, then suddenly my phone rang and I got an offer to work on a app this summer. We’re going to have a lunch meeting on Wednesday to talk about it more, I don’t want to spoil more details until things are decided but I’m really looking forward to it!

Drawing time again!

Did some drawing practice and managed to draw some kind of magical knight in front of a cavern. I’m planning to fiddle around with the lighting some more but for now, it will do.

Write all the things!

To be completely frank I forgot that this blog even existed for a while because there have been so much things going on in my life, both in school and personal life. Therefor I’ve put together a summary of what I’ve been doing these past months.
To begin with I’ve ended all the courses that I’ve mentioned on the latest post, 3D2-character modelling and animation, conceptual sketching for 2D production 2 and Graphical Design for Web. The course I’ve put most […]

Gender Equality in the Game Industry

Gender equality is a very hot topic at the moment and the game development industry is no exception, one of the most discussed topics is the case of the female armor. Very often you see in games that male characters are depicted in full armor, looking strong and masculine while the female characters are given armor that barely covers anything; basically she is going into battle in a metal bikini.

Example of Female Armor […]

Item Class Friday

Today i remade the pickup items into their own class but moving variables and functionality from the GameObject class(which the Item now inherits) it took most of the day to replace all the items and correct all the places where they were mentioned into working properly but it turned out good in the end. I still have the bugs where items will fly in the wrong direction when thrown and they still don’t collide with walls but we decided to […]

Project Aurora, post 7, (Blog Assignment 4) Camera problem

Ok, following up on previous post, I had a lot of problems getting the light circle to work as I wanted and all the problems basicly led back to how the view or camera of the game was updated and the position of everything. So this post will be about the camera and maybe some light circle stuff.
