New game project

When they first announced that we would get our first real game project to work on I got pretty excited. What could the genre be? Yeah, none other than a wonderful shoot ‘em up! Boy did my ears get tickled! Before I applied for this education I felt that shoot ‘em ups and RPGs where my types of games to design. Even though shoot ‘em ups may be pretty easy to code and animate and this coming from a rookie […]

Classes, objects and the loop of life

As soon as I stood up this morning, and also the reason for why I got up that early, I immediately wrote down ideas for my current programming project. I woke up with so many great ideas for the program, thanks “sleep”! The program/game I am working on is as of today playable! It is a type of Sissy Fight (social game), so far it’s only playable by hotseat (players take turns on the same computer).
Also, today I have learned alot about […]

I have also started designing a game today togheter with some friends. Something easy to start with this early in the school year but still challenging. It’s gonna be kinda crazy but hopefully it will be fun to […]

My choices are now down to:
*Sci-fi menu with stars etc.
*Fantasy menu with a different type of writing and background
*Or try […]

Game design and life

This is my blog about games, studies and life. It will be a travel through my psyche, a depressing stroy of how I am going to see things from loving everything to hate everything. It dosen’t mean everything is bad, this is just how I see things.
Still I am a nice person.

First Blog Post Ever! Shit Just Hit the Fan!

So the purpose of the blogs, that all of the Game Design students have started, is for the lecturers and the coordinators to follow our progress through out the course. It is also for us to practice documenting our work and to practice our typing and communicating to ensure that communication with future coworkes goes smoothly.
So, with that settled, I guess that an introduction is due, but I’m not going to go the traditional route. A short and sweet presentation […]
