Start of a new project

Hello happy people. After a long time of silence so is it time to start blogging again with a new school project.
This time it is for the game course “Big Game”. The course end goal is to to create a “big” game during 8 weeks.
ReadySteady(Wip)
“Ready steady” (working title) is an mobile deck building game where players have the ability to play wherever they want, whenever they want. You play as a hired agent, who have been tasked by a company […]

Unity Master Server – Big Game Project

Unfortunately, I’ve been ill this week and because of that, I haven’t been able to do as much work as I otherwise would have. But I tried doing as much as I could anyways so I wouldn’t get too far behind schedule. I have finally finished setting up a master server for the game so players can find available games to play without having to know the servers IP addresses. Players can now choose between creating a private a server where the […]

What is exploration in games?

Intro
What is exploration in games? What defines it and how can we as designers use it in video games?This was the question that 9 people tried to answer those questions one night, with discussions and bringing up examples in order to find out.
What defines exploring?
The discovery of the unknown. This phrase sums up what exploitation in games is. That includes everything from discovering how the controls works to exploring a unknown cave in Minecraft.
Now, if you follow that […]

All around

A fun thing about working in a small team is that you’re able to be a part of the whole process in making a game. Some of our artists have their hands full with their respective responsibilities, but I personally are doing a lot of work here and there. I’m mostly doing textures, both for props that the others have modelled and textures for the level itself, but I’m also doing some 3D modelling myself, with UV mapping and texturing […]

Fish, Like a bear!

The last two days I have been working with the bears animations.
Now we have placeholder animations, in the game, for walking, sprinting,  punching when on all fours, standing up and punching while standing.
As soon as I got the animation for punching while on all fours, I started thinking about how I would do the fishing, and now it is complete.
When the bear punches, while on all fours, and he hits a fish with his paw, he will then grab this […]

Day 7

So, today my focus will be on continuing work with the NPC, and hopefully get most of the work done before I over to Stockholm for the easter. I’m currently pretty much the only programmer actively working with the Unity project, and I’m not overly happy about that.But I’m hopeful the other full-time programmer will be able to take over all of the item-related coding, so I don’t have to.
I have now finished up the patrolling of the Enemy, and […]

Screens, screens and more screens!

Been spending my day trying to design different types of screens for the game, so I thought I’d post a sketch of an early stage of a shield I will be using for our victory screen, just to let you lot have a lill’ preview till the next update. >: )Cheers …

Unity Networking – Big Game Project

Last week I had to do a lot of research about networking in unity and that’s what I spent most of my time on. I have never programmed something involving networking so the whole subject was a bit foreign to me. Fortunately, there are many great tutorials online and very good documentation provided by Unity Technologies for me to study. I was actually able to implement a system where players can create servers where two players may join. These players […]
