Started on a new game with my roommate!

Today me and my roommate Marcus decided to try and start creating a simple game. We talked about putting two games together and we decided on Dark Souls and Super Meat Boy. The project is called SlashR for now.
We created a basic ”task list” so that we know what to do when working on it in the future. I am the programmer and Marcus handles the graphics, and this is what the ”list” looks like.

We decided that the game is […]

So me and Semirr’s started a new project. Project SlashR

We decided on the way home that we should create a game. So, bashing our two clever heads together we came up with the idea, partially inspired from todays optional exercise, to each choose a game and then dissect it and morph it into our own thing. The two games we came up with were Dark Souls and Super Meat Boy. We then wrote what we came up with on a chart and arrived at the conclusion that the game […]

 
WormsBoardGame

Rules and pictures attached!
In order to play you will need a 12-sided dice (in order to roll starting positions and who gets to make the first turn.)
3 avatars per player, numbered (Or in some way be able to be identified in order to get the correct turn order for the avatars)
The weapon cards are not necessary, but it makes it easier to follow the stats of each action. (See pictures)

Analyzing Carcassonne

Introduction

So this week I will be analyzing the infamous board game Carcassonne or as a senior student named is “Knarkassonne”(roughly translated to drugassonne). I will go through the core system, the system I enjoyed the most, enjoyed least and the most interesting. After this I will try to write about who the board game appeals to the most and a small summary of what I thought of the board game.

Homework W 04 – Textured crate

This is my Sci-Fi crate for assignment 1, textured and put into UDK.
So why does it look like this? When I made my crate I was inspired by the not-so-obviously-openable crates that are usually used in Science Fiction games. These can be placed on buttons, moved to redirect or intervene lasers, thrown through a barrier and used as a stair, among many other things. In some games they are placed in large rooms to fill out space and sometimes […]

Core Experience, Left4Dead

This lecture we talked about the importance of Core Experience in a game and at the end of the day we got together in our groups and had to find a game that we all had played. Our task was to think of the Core Experience in that game and either create a completely new game but with the same Core Experience or to recreate the game with the same Core Experience. Luckily the professors only asked for a […]

Game development assignment

At Monday in class we were given an assignment to learn about core experience. And to do that we was tasked with choosing a game of our own choice and then find out what that game’s core-experience were and duplicate that core-experience in a game that we were supposed to develop. And to stress us a little bit more we were supposed to have a playable prototype of that game the day after.
My group choose Left 4 dead as our game […]
