Hello

Well here is my blog, blogging isn’t really my thing… But my name is Frida and I’ll do my best.
 

Switching to English.

Switching to English.

I will write the blog in English from now on. The education at Uppsala University Campus Gotland that I started this year want all students to have their own blogs. 
Since I started this blog last year but stopped writing in it I thought now would be a good time to bring it back to life. (I might try to translate my Swedish posts later)

So what has happened since last year? Trying to learn how to make games after […]

Let’s get this started, now shall we?

…and what better way to start is there if not Unity?

Postmortem on the Reverse Prototyping Workshop

Yesterday, on October 7th, we had a quick lecture on reverse prototyping. After that we got about two hours to analyse any digital game, take out the core mechanics from it, to make a paper prototype using those mechanics. We did this in order to learn how to create certain aesthetics of a game. This is my postmortem of our paper prototype game.
The Game We Chose
So we picked out The Walking Dead, the video game. It is a heavily story-based […]

Group 12

We have now gotten our groups for designing a game. And we got the words, interesteing and suit, to work with. It wassent the easiest words to work with but we landed on a game were you are gonna make a suit by making the individual parts, by flying with a machine that sew it all togheter. While you do it, moths and other things will try to eat the cloth. So you will have kill them by shooting them.
We […]

Got some work done!

I was working on a sword for a while in 3DSMax that did no quite work out and because of that, I had to start over.
A few days have passed and I’ve actually managed to create a new sword from scratch and I’m quite happy with the result so far.
All that needs to be done now is to properly texture it. (I think)

”Sky in a pond”?

One might wonder what that means, and indeed it is up to each of your interpretations. Whatever conclusion you may come to though, you can refer to me as simply ”Sky”!
Now who is this ”Sky” person? To be perfectly honest, I have no idea. There have been times when I’ve thought I knew myself, just to be slapped across the face by life and all it’s wonderful and horrible experiences. They change us, for good or for bad, and […]

Beginning of a new era

The time has finally come for me to start the blog that will focus on my studies during my second and third year at Campus Gotland. I am currently taking the courses Advanced Game Design and Serious Games. This blog will be closely tied to my work during Advanced Game design.
Today I got the assignment to create a board game design together with my group. I am very excited to hear what kind of idéas my friends have.

The Lecture and the Post-Mortem.

So, it’s finally time to reflect on a lecture! Which I promissed to do in my previous post. This will be kind of a Post-Mortem of today’s work. So here we go!
This lecture (2013-10-07) with Adam Mayes wasn’t a regular just “sit, listen and take in” lecture. We were instead surprised with a small workshop! We could choose what ever game we liked, break it down to it’s core and analys the “Core Experience” to find out what makes that […]

Space Shooter

In preparations for the  next assignment of making a space shooter I’ve been looking in on how to use unity in a space shooter.
