the edge of sanity
the edge I hold over mortal men
to edge forward
at the edge of a great war
at the edge of town
2 edgy 4 u?

Designing games for teen girls – How?
During our Monday lecture, we tried to lay out a concept of a horror game for teenage girls, taking place in World War 2. We went through one intense discussion after the other as of how one is supposed to reach out to these teen girls. What awakened the most intense debate, was the choice of platform. A few pointed out that the game should be made for smartphones and Facebook, but I didn’t like this at all. I wanted […]

Group work – first week
So we’re supposed to design a space shooter. We got two key words, ”thoughtless” and ”badger”. this week we started with our high concept as well as what the game should be like in general. there is much left to do naturally, but at least we have started on it. I’m supposed to write a story for the game as well as thinking of different categories of enemies to be included in the game.
I’m not sure how elaborate the story […]

Post mortem: Finding the core and steal it’s gold!
Last Monday we got an assignment within our new group to take one game we all like and find out just why we like it and then make a paper prototype of it. At first we thought of adventure games and horror games but getting the feel of adventure and horror is kinda hard to translate into a paper prototype.
After a necessary food break we decided upon Minecraft. And mainly the mining and crafting perspective but also the community feel […]

First Time
We have now started working on our major assignment and it’s become really apparent to me that it is the first time that anyone of us is doing it. There are so many things to think of and it is hard to remember them all and harder still trying to do them in the right order. I think we have the information we need, we just need to learn how to use it and I feel that we are sorting […]

Post Mortem – Core Mechanics and Team 8
During the first weeks of our studies, we we’re put into several groups of about seven people. These groups/teams were supposed to work together on, as far as I understood, all group assignments and projects over the first year. I was part of Group 6, which according to me really was a dream team. We worked well together, everyone spoke their mind freely and everyone had great ideas that we all pretty much agreed on, ideas that truly worked in […]

Major Assignment
Our major assignment for the introduction to game analysis and game design course is to design a space shoot ’em up game that is supposed to be inspired by the words romantic and pencil. I did find those words rather difficult to incorporate into that genre, I first thougt the only thing you could do was something with pencils, either being one or shooting them, and writing love letters.However I thought it would probably be really boring and way to […]
