Creating a card based movement system

This week my group and I worked on our board game system for our advanced game design course. The system we are creating is a movement system that uses cards with a number with two colors in as the background and a number 1-4; the background colors correspond to the colored squares on a game board.  In order to move the play uses the card and move he’s/her piece as far as the number on the card and  if the […]

Spline Level Editor

Inspiration
Hi, I recently found this video about how some of the things worked when Rayman Legends was made and I thought that the way they could bend and form their platforms when creating levels looked really useful.I wanted to try doing something similar just for fun and I had never worked with programming meshes before and thought it could be useful in the future.

My version
I used Unity for creating my spline thing, mostly because I also want to learn more about unity […]

Paper Prototype

This Monday my group and I started working on a paper prototype for our shoot em up.In the first version of our game we tried to make the prototype turn-based, where the player was supposed to kill the enemies who were controlled by random (We used Random.org) movements and predetermined actions. This didn’t work out very well so we scrapped that Idea. Then, this Tuesday we used a battle-ship like system. This worked much better, the only problem was that […]

Today I made a new Concept our protagonist. I spent some time on it and I’m happy with the outcome. But I feel that for a 2D game that my concept won’t fit very well, but Ladbon wanted more another concept so here it is.

I’ve lately been working in this awesome group of people from the university with a Shoot’m up and the more we build of it the more we understand that we are getting closer to something that will become awesome.
Looking at it objectively though the game is simply a top-down game, where you are playing as a person lost in different areas, trying to find coverage with your cellphone so you can call for help, while doing so you are attacked […]
