Completing the GDD

In this 2nd post I will write about the final game design document, and the difference between the first one and the second one I wrote about in the previous post. Note that both are in english. Why I didn’t wrote (or write) anything in swedish when I have the choice to is because I can reach to more people if it is in english. Since working in the gaming industry can have international people as well, it might as […]

Reflektion av veckans arbete Vecka 2

Den här veckan har jag jobbat med knappar till spelet (play, options, exit). Till och börja med tänkte jag på något som skulle matcha vårt tema, en undervatten värld. Det som jag kom och tänka på var bubblor som jag tecknade enkelt i Photoshop med Elipse tool och en mjuk pensel. De tre olika är hur knappen: 1. Ser ut vanligtvis. 2. När man håller muspekaren över den. 3. När man klickar på den.

Efter att ha pratat vidare med […]

The Spy.

In our game you play as a spy. This spy infiltrates the company to obtain the company’s data. The data contains plans and blueprints for technology that is much more superior to the rest of the worlds. The spy is like a modern Robin Hood in the setting of the 1940s with more technology.  The spy steal data from the superior company’s and give the data to less superior companies that make the technology accessible for the common man.
To succeed […]

Suit Em’ Up – The random week

Hello World!
This week I was supposed to help Andreas (which are designer of our game-world) with the graphical parts of our “rooms”. Our game-world/suit is cut into smaller “rooms” so the computer doesn’t need to have the entire world in its memory at once but only loads the room the player is in and the surrounding ones. So, as said, I was supposed to help Andreas with our rooms. But he wanted to go for graphics for our menu system instead so we […]

University Projects: Escape Environmental Design

Hey everybody!

This week I’ve been working on the environmental design for a game called Escape. This means that I’ve been working on created game spaces, where the character is supposed to interact with the dangers and objectives of our game.
We are in need of these rooms for our level editor to quickly be able to create our levels, these levels are supposed to be creating the difficulty of the game and as the player progresses the room design need to […]

10 Week Project – Post 2 – Camera Pans and Objectives

Ok, so in the last post I wrote about my reflections on using the tutorial part of the level to introduce the player to the game world. I will now focus on how to introduce the player to the objectives in the levels.
Last week I hadn’t really started with the level designing officially, but I had written down a few ideas of what I wanted to do. This time, I’m armed with some feedback from our pre-alpha, I’ve gathered some […]

Hello, week 3 blog coming through! This week started out a little weird. We ended up going for the truck that I made first, which got denied at the start. I turned up late for our Monday meeting, and apparently in my absence the group decided to go with my first truck, for some reason they thought that I had copied the truck from GTA2 and that is why it didn’t get approved right away. Laban made it clear that […]

Project Report 2014-02-20

This week I’ve been working mainly on the Alpha presentation due Friday. It’ll be a short endeavour with an introduction speech and a subsequent showing of the game in this early phase. The shorter the presentation the more time required to prepare, as you need to figure out a way to cram as much information as simply as possible that can be relayed under the span of a handful of minutes. A most time consuming process as every sentence I […]

Treshhold overcomed

This week has been a series of half-assed opinions and motivations boosts for our group. We’ve been working on getting our orientation between our states better handled, getting sound into our game, customizing our character and getting a score to show up on the screen.
Our producer have been tackled with the presentation assignment and working out the documentation for our group while I took a leave of absent from being a lead designer(when it came to documentation) and focused more […]
