Let the programming commence!

Started the programming course this Monday. We started with some basic loops and initiations and lastly we made a guessing game where the user guessed a number (1-100) and the game would give you feedback on how close you were to the the correct number. 
I have to say, I wished we would’ve started the course earlier, this is probably the most intellectual fun I’ve had in months!
SPOILER ALERT
Other than that I got into Attack on Titan this week. The narrative completely […]

Basics, a dungeon crawler and concrete examples

Good day peepz!
The programming course has started and I’m super exited for that! The first week has passed and the tempo seems fine. The course is teaching really basic things right now, but I learn stuff anyway. I guess it goes a bit fast for people who have never programmed before but if they keep coding every day and think it’s fun… then they will have no problem!
I’ve started creating a dungeon crawler in which I’m learning a lot about […]

Back to basics!

Alright then, back to basics. This week my 2D drawing course started in school and it has so far been a very fun experience. I got to learn how to draw basic humans using simple and fast methods. I’ve never really been taught by anyone on how to draw or sketch before and most of my drawing experience comes from drawing whatever came to mind. I got to do sketching of nude models which felt weird at first but I […]

Everybody Is a Noob Jam

Today I had my second game jam and it was very fun and a learning experience. We had to create a game in Game Maker in 5-6 hours. The game was to be inspired from two words, these were Everyday and Doom. In a team of 3 coders and a poor artist (me) we started planning out the game. Luckily everyone worked really well together and we quickly decided on our idea.
A retro-styled platformer in low resolution was what we […]

Thumbnails

Finally the fun has begun. This week the first 2D graphical course started, I’m really excited what I will learn from this course.
The assignment this week was to do 20 thumbnails of a game-concept. we could choose either Bella Umbrella, a princess with an umbrella that is trying to save her kingdom, or the other concept which was Clash of Heavens, an open 3D platform world full of war and chaos.
I went for the Umbrella concept as I thought the description […]

First Week of the Drawing Course

This first week has been fully focused on seeing and drawing gestures. It has been quite challenging, one keeps going back to “copying” the model continuously. What we have been doing now is practicing to turn that part of the brain off and draw the essence more than the form you are seeing. I didn’t understand this at first, but now I do. I’ve been to three life drawing sessions this week and have developed a lot from just that. […]

As for my Thumbnails
I decided to do the Princess Bella and Her Umbrella concept, as I wanted to try and make different versions of the same character. They became very different. The one I am the most happy with is the Asian styled princess with the green dress. I wanted to make someone kind and quirky that did not fit in the usual princess-frame.
Except for her (and a few others) most of my Princesses look a bit dark, sort […]

Doodle(s) of the day

This time i got a hunch to create something…gooey.
From that a blobb with a umbrella was born. i Acctully think it would look cooler without the legs and just be a big ooze that wanders around and makes your day. Anyhow, tell me what you think and draw something yourself.

First week of 2D drawings!

The start of the 2D graphics course was really exciting and something I have been looking forward to. We jumped into the drawing and theories right away. This was a bit terrifying since I lack experience with 2D drawings, but we learned some really valuable concepts and theories which helped a lot.

 The principles and components I used for the drawings were those taught to us by Pernilla. These included the loose sketching of the model to try and capture […]

Doodle of the day

was watching family guy and decided to make a fatty. hahaha

2D

This week i started a new course and it is a 2D drawing class. I cant say i was very excited to do that as im very bad at drawing. But lucky enough it has gone allright so far, it is a very basic one to begin with, but very fast paced. So far we have worked with live models to sketch poses like a stick figure. Then we added more volume to it and added a body, arms and […]

Programming / Math

I see now that I haven’t blogged for a while. Reason for that is that I didn’t feel like I had anything to blog about. Still really don’t have anything to blog about except that we’ve started with c++ and math, and will have that for the next 9 weeks. At the first glance the math that we have now doesn’t look that terrifying, I thought that once you got to the calculating trigonometry that it would be difficult, I […]
