Serious Board Game

The journey has come to an end and I am sorry that I haven’t updated anything about this but I’ll explain everything in this post 😀
As I mentioned in an earlier post we chose the subject of the homeless in Stockholm. During this project we have done a lot of prototyping and I am pleased with the outcome. Our goal with the game was to create awareness about the subject of homeless. Even inspire people to join an organisation that […]

Board games, monitors and a cintiq

Advanced game design – Week 44
The board game
This week we made a few changes to the board game.
We increased the number of artifacts on the board, the result was the players broke into up in to two groups going after one of the artifacts on each side of the board.  But this made each group stay on one side of the board as the other artifact was too far away.  Also there was no way to stop the players on […]

Working on power-point. Finished instructions for paper prototype. Helping with the Concept document.

Colour Study

I’ve been working on a character design and some other stuff so I felt like relaxing by doing some colour studies using Sycra Yasin’s colour wheel and drop mask. On another note, I have decided that I’m not going to upload such massive sketch dumps that I usually do. Rather, I’m going to upload my more refined sketches. Thinking more about quality than quantity. Those will go up in the following weekend.  Peace out.

GAMEX 2013 Report – Campus Gotland

Gamex Week!

At the start of the week me and my group finished of the cogs we had bought by putting on some papers on both sides indicating what way you had to turn the wheel to be able to step of the cog. We also made a new board from wood and nail that worked perfectly with our new cogs.
We also showed Adam our board game and he really seemed to enjoy our new board and working cogwheels. 
This week I have […]

Group work – update 4

Speech and powerpoint mostly done now, any eventual final polish will happen today but at least our spokesman have something to practice on now. Will need to write down instructions for the paper prototype.

Group work – update 3

After finishing up the prototype and getting some more feedback I’ve sat down to help write the pitch as well as the powerpoint presentation that will be used in conjecture with it. I believe we have covered all the neccessary things that can be said in a 5 minute timeframe, we now need to polish it and time it to perfection.

Board Game – more play testing

This week has consisted mostly of more tweaking and balancing of our game.
On Tuesday we had a short meeting with Adam where he played our game and gave us some feedback. He enjoyed the game and thought we had a great base game that could be expanded in many different ways, like adding classes, shops/economy systems and more. He suggested that we should use the last weeks to try throwing lots of different systems and ideas into the game and […]
