3D Computer Graphics: Blog Post Week 2

Theme one:
The theme sci-fi can easily be described as futuristic. When someone says sci-fi I immediately think of star wars. Shiny ships with ion engines and lots and lots of dashboards with blinking light.
Sci-fi basically points to the idea of science and inventions that have not yet been developed.

I think this image represents the theme sci-fi pretty accurately. The image depicts a space ship mid-flight. The ship is very high tech and although we have somewhat […]

All the Crates!

Medieval
When it comes to the classic crate there is not much difference between the medial and contemporary shipping crate. The importance of distinction on the props in a game should never be understated, the barrels and containers from the Dwemer ruins of Vvardenfell in Morrowind is something I will never forget, the regular crates in the game though are just so regular. But the dwemer are not medieval, they are more advanced and therefore store things in steel kegs and […]

Board Game Analysis – Game of Thrones

Introduction
My group chose to play and analyze Game of Thrones: The board Game. It is a resource based strategy game for three to six players. You play as one of the six available houses and the goal is to conquer seven castles or to have conquered the most amounts of castles after ten rounds. You do this by managing resources, moving your units to new zones or attacking your enemy player’s zones. The game is about risk and reward since […]

First blog post.

Hello everyone.
My name is Samuel Ehnberg. I recently left my hometown Stockholm for studies at Uppsala university Campus Gotland.
This blog will, consist of my gaming design reports. And will hopefully, later on show the progression i make over these three years.

Sci-fi crate

When creating this crate I drew reference from the visual style of movies like Oblivion and the design of the cubes in the game, Portal. The references are mostly based on a general notion of these styles, I did not use any direct image reference.

The most important element in my view for this kind of sci-fi is clean and symmetrical shapes, which give a sterile impression. The atmosphere I am going for with that is that […]

Welcome to my blog

My name is Johan Öhman and I am a first year student of game design at Uppsala University, Campus Gotland. The program is called “Game Design & Programming” and so obviously includes programming too, something I hope I will come to enjoy as much as design. Games is not my only main interest; I am an amateur composer as well. The music I compose is in the genre of film music, which kind of means that it doesn’t belong in […]

Starting the blog

Hello world!
I am David Crosson. I’m a 22-year old freshman at Uppsala Univeristy, studying Game Design and Graphics. In this blog I will post mostly – perhaps even exclusively – about my time learning the fine arts of Game Design through the university.
Now do please stay tuned, as I will make my best effort to share my thoughts on the subject in a manner that does not bore you too much. I will try to post at least once a […]

The Lectures

So now I’m two weeks and two days into this course and I must say, it’s really hectic and a lot to process. These takes approximately 2-4 hours until the day’s done or we go through a another lecture (during thursdays and fridays). Most of these have group assignments where we students have the chance to get to know each other and learn to cooperate. And then there are the ones where we just sit on are arses and try […]
