First few weeks at GAME

I have now studied game design at Uppsala University for three weeks, last week and this week I have been feeling like we’re really getting started. We’ve had our first assignment in communications class and I personally found it very difficult to find a subject and writing a bit more scientifically about something artistic. I decided to write my popular science article about Concept Art which turned out quite well and received good critique from my group. The critiquing of […]

Mechanics Design Final Product


This is my final resource design for my course Serious Games. Unfortunately, I could not find a way to post the xml file that will make the picture interactive meaning that you can’t run it 🙁
Anyway, the basic idea is that you start with 500 money that you can invest in 2 different options. Energy and property but you can’t invest in property unless you have water and electricity. So you start with investing in energy with which you […]

Sketch Dump 2

I’ve been practising a lot of anatomy the last 2 weeks since I finally got my hands on Albinus on Anatomy, an absolute god-send to character artists. But I’ve also done a lot of environment concepts in my sketch book so that when I’m able to spend more time on them, I can do so in Photoshop. Which I have. Currently working on the last of the four sketches you can see in this dump.TGIF!

An investment of time and soul.

A few days ago I invested both time and a little bit of money in something I never thought I’d touch;
The WarZ, now known as Infestation: Survivor Stories.
15€ on steam. As a poor student, I could have used that money to buy something else; a good game, food, drinks. So why did I buy it? Well, there is a certain attraction in playing such a controversial title. That and, well, I did enjoy DayZ. Despite all it’s flaws, there was […]

Mechanics Design Progress

This is the progress I have done so far on my resource system. I think I have to add some things to make it a bit more of a resource game but I don’t want to overdo it. It’s a balancing act aswell, right now it’s just random numbers but if it was an actual game and if it should be based on real numbers it could be more precise. I am going to leave it a while and get […]
