Well, it’s a start.

I have just started to try and program something for the first time in a while.
The only programming I’ve ever done before was an extremely basic C++ course in High-school.
I tried to create a standard, but really simplified version of a turn-based RPG combat system.

Assorted thoughts on pink

I love girly things.
I love it when someone takes a hypermasculine genre and throws a can of pink paint on it and covers it in sparkles and ribbons and dresses and frills.
Oddly enough I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone do that to gritty war FPS games?
I think the only explicitly girly action movie I’ve seen was The Powerpuff Girls movie.
Lately comic and cartoon producers have started to realize that, “woah, maybe girls like these things too” so they’ve been […]

Game systems, group assignment

We received a group assignment to create a game system and write a report on it. This system was then to be handed on to another group for analysis.
In our group we went with the idea that each of us should come up with one or more ideas for systems each. I went for one.

So, I don’t have the slightest idea what to have in mind when designing a system, where the idea is that you could apply any kind […]

No i’m not making a “hello world”-joke!

After being distracted by the internet cutting out(repeatedly) yesterday i finally got around to make a blog post. 
This blog will either follow me slowly learning to be responsible with my own time, or me complaining about my failure to do so. Only time will tell.
If i feel like it i might write about the video games i play on my spare but i’ll make sure to tag post properly to keep study posts from video game posts unless both a […]

Grey 2.0

Pardon my cursing but jesus fucking christ. I played the Battlefield 4 beta and damn the guys over at Dice must hate colors. I would love to give you some examples but for some reason it doesn’t let me screenshot. The frequent use of the same scale of grey in the game is outraging, I couldn’t tell if it was a lamppost on the road or just a piece of rubble. what happened to the bright colors of Mirrors Edge […]
