3D sketching

Today  i started some tutorials to learn how to use Maya and how to do some 3D sculpting in it. I started a 3D sketch on a ship to see how it would go. Next is to add more details and watch more tutorials. I made a ship because i have a friend that is gonna paint a ship, that im then gonna make in 3D.
Heres 2 pics of the low poly ship i made.

Motivation!

Yesterdays lecture by our teacher Adam Meyes was unbeliably inspiring to me. Amongst all the difficult terms, charts and diffrent ways to go about writing a game design document there was one thing he said that really stuck.
When I was younger, comming up with ideas to books and drawings was second nature for me.  I would listen to music before bed every night and think about characters, stories and just let my mind go to places it longed to discover. […]

So, this is a blogg made by me, Robin Karlsson for educational purposes. Here i will reflect on things that is related to my education and stuff.
Anyway, today i’ve been doing some work on the second Swedish assignment: Pathos laddad text.

A helmet has been created.

 
Nothing else to say.

First time entry, the big assignment.

Yesterday we got our first big assignment since coming to Gotland. As far as I understood it was about making a design for a game without gravity. Much like spaceshooters or pacman.
We were notified that we were to be given our groups and two random words that is going to be the foundation to the game.
More than this I do not know and thus concludes this post, until next time!

The big assignment!

Yesterday we got our first big assignment. Whoop whoop! I guess I will figure out something better to write later… and if I don’t… this is a pretty good start of my blogging… it can only get better from this.

New Blogg, First post!

So, I decided to start my very own, new blogg after some people at school pestered me with the thought that it might be a good idea to document your work where they can see it.
I am not sure about how often I will update this thing, but I am going to try to do it about once a week. Don’t expect this to be the single msot groundbreaking and exciting blog you’ve ever read, but it is what it […]

Greetings

I’m a Swedish student in game design and -programming at Uppsala University, Campus Gotland. Last year I finished a one year course of “Game Design” at Ädelfors Public College. I was inspired to continue my studies and work in the field and Campus Gotland seems like great place for just that.
I’ve spent the first five weeks of the program’s first two courses:  “Game Analysis and Game Design – an Introduction” and “Written and spoken communication”.
Here are my experiences so far:

First Post / Game Analysis lecture:

 
 
 
 
Hello and welcome to my new blog! This blog will cover my design work and days at Uppsala University campus Gotland. My name is Simon Strandh and i study my first year as Game designer : Graphics.
As i said this blog will be me show and writing about what i do in school and what design/game related things i do outside of school. 
Today we had a lecture with Adam (our brilliant teacher) where he talked about design, concept and pitch […]

Nothing, really

I’ve never had a blog before and reading blogs hasn’t really been my thing. But as part of a project I’ll try to write and share thoughts and things about what’s happening. I’ll be writing mostly about games, game design and perhaps about school projects. At least that’s what I’ll try to do. Yes.
There’ll probably be other things as well, if I can’t come up with enough game-related things to share. Or if I find something funny that I for […]

Design a game on paper.

During todays lecture with Adam Mayes i got an idea for a game. I started designing it and i think it’s something i will be able to do. It’s gonna be a 3D game were you play as a thief, but it will have some special aspects to it.

So this is the first time i’ve actually written a blog post and I rarely read blogs so I’m quite clueless on how this works. Therefore it will be kept simple to a start, might expand more when i figure out how blogging works.
This blog will mainly be schoolwork-related. (Also the reason for it being created)
If there interesting finds on the internet there’s also a risk that they also get posted here.
