Must get back into this

Been a while again. That other course really helped me with blogging, i guess it was a good way to end a day.
For the last Two weeks I’ve been working on the same game and learning about using Unity and C#. After the last post i worked on making the Heads Up Display actually change depending on values. The most important things i learned of this is to use static variables in order to access them from different scripts and […]

Logos

Today I have been working on a logotype for our team called “Lingonskogen” (Swedish for “the lingonberry forest”). We wanted to include lingonberries in the logo so the first thing I did was to research some reference photos and then make some quick sketches in Photoshop.

After drawing these and discussing with the team I got a clear picture of what we wanted to create and transferred the sketches to my sworn enemy called Illustrator. […]

Project Totem Update #2

Totemic Banner by Camilla Jacobsen

Update
Hi again!
The project is finally entering full production as off today. We’ll be having a stand-up scrum meeting, detailing the plan for our alpha build. The group has been working on defining content, building frame-works for said content and creating place-holder (first drafts) animations and graphics.
As we’re entering production, we’ve got our focus set on making sure that the Alpha covers our core-mechanics, level-structure and most importantly, seeing as how we’re creating a theme park […]

Totemic Banner

We are getting well on our way on the Totemic projec, we are working hard but there is still very much to do. Last week I started working on our banner for our booth at the Gotland Game Conference that was due yesterday, even though easter got in the way I managed to schedule my time to finish it in time for the deadline without stressing too much.
Initially I had a lot of problems with the font for the logotype, […]

Let’s see if we can bring this back.

Fitting that i said i was going to resume blogging on April 1. 
For the last two weeks I’ve been working in the new group on Slacker Simulator, Project Miracle, Project Groove and now on Long Play.
We had some issues with what game idea to chose for our project and went through several ones but now we have decided to pick a music based game where the player avoids objects while running along a spinning LP track. (LP stands for Long […]

New Project New Ideas!

Now that last course has come to its end and the game Tale of the Deep was completed with some minor bugs.
The next project has already started and the name of the new course is Theme Park. We are going to create an Arcade like game with an unique input system. or rather its prohibitet to use mouse and keyboards as input, unless they are modified to be used in a diffrent way than originally intended.
For this project I’m working […]

Totemic

Last week the class got to divide itself into new groups for a new course to start making games for the Gotland Game Conference (GGC). Half of my old team is the same with the addition of one artist, one designer/artist and one coder. The theme of the GGC is unconventional controls and after completing “Terminal” we wanted to focus on keeping it simple and polishing it to perfection.
We started a few weeks before starting the course with brainstorming what […]

Theme Park

This week the next course began. In the course we are supposed to work in groups to make a game and input system for arcade machines.
My team is going for a game where you feed a crocodile and help it eat. You move the “crocodiles” teeth in a puzzle manner to eat the different kinds of foods that the crocodile is going to eat. The teeth have to be placed in certain places for it being able to eat the […]
