3D Computer Graphics: Theory and Application I, Post 3
This is my third post relating to course 5SD045, it details the results of a field visit to Gotland Museum during 2014-09-16 and of a practical assignment to optimize topology given to us during the lecture of 2014-09-17, constituting the third week of the course.
The visit to the museum was part of the second course turn-in, during which we will model and implement a game-ready 3d asset, modeled after a real-life object. The objective of the visit was to present […]

Impending Doom
This is an essay that I wrote for my game design course. It is just copied from the document that I handed in and i felt like posting it here for easy access.
Introduction
This essay is about the design of an impending doom game where the player will lose in the end but has to feel like they could have made it. I choose to make a game about surviving alone in space with the only thing to do is controlling […]

First post
Trying to remember how long I´ve been stranded on this island.. 3 weeks I think since I started and so far I haven’t had any second thoughts. The lectures are interesting, the teachers are nice and the school is great. The structure has been somewhat messy to say the least but I´m sure I´ll manage it eventually. SOO many books, I don’t know where to start, but I´m just going to concentrate on the lectures for now. The assignments have been fun up until […]

Sissy fight
Our second assignment was to play sissy fight and learn its mechanics and then remake the game into something new and different but with kinda the same mechanics. After we done that, each group got a little card with a change to the game where my group got the note with a change of making the game into a learning type that could be played by kids in the school.We was in groups around 5-6 ppl and after we had […]

MDA
So one of the first things we got to learn at my school is MDA ( mechanics, dynamics and aesthetics).This is how you basically design a game. We got to train our MDA skills with a game called space invaders which we had an assignment to explain what the MDA is in the game.What the player see first when they play a game is usually the aesthetics, if they play it longer they might notice the dynamics but our job […]

Hello!
My name is Tara and I have just started my three years education at Uppsala university campus Gotland, gamedesign-graphics.This is my newly made blog where I will share my work and progress under the years.I decided to start studying game design-graphics because my biggest passion in life has always been to express myself and my favorite way of doing that has been thrue the art of drawing and painting.I will now challenge myself more and learn the skill of digital […]

I have a sense of impending doom
Our teacher, Adam Mayes, has given us an assignment to come up with a concept for a game based on the theme ”impending doom”. Our constraints are that the player is not allowed to move – they can turn around, use their arms and move their head, but not walk, swim, fly etc. The player will fail at the end of the game – there is no winning condition. However, the player must think that they can win.

Cooperative chess game
Fundamentals of game design chapter 1 exercise 2: Use a chessboard and chesspieces and the ways they move to create a cooperative game where two players work together to achieve a victory condition.My first idea on this is to have the colors represent each player. This makes it easier for the players to consider themselves important and also guides them in what they can move. I want the enemy to start on the other side of the board and have a system […]

Third week complete!
Academic writing & Essays
This week, as said in previous post, started with two lectures on academic writing, documenting and pitching your games. We were given an assignment to design an Impending Doom game, which means that you cannot win, you will always lose at some point. We were then asked to write an essay on this game and on our ideas about it. Writing an essay on a game design was a bit tricky, since it is not regularly done, […]
