Weekly assignment #6 – The last two animations.

Hello again people!
This is my final post for this course and game project. To summarize I feel that we have done a good job, bouncing back from some set backs, and delivering a finished product that we can be proud of. I am not going to lie, I have taken the long road a bunch of times, leaving time wasted that could be put on something else. But I have learned from my mistakes, and I know what I am […]

Magic Writer Menu Background

Hello Magic Writer fans!
So this week is the last blog post for the course. I am going to write about the latest iteration of the background to our Main Menu.

I did unfortunately not save them to show in […]

Game Development – Nr.6 | Magic Writer

Hello everyone!
This weeks post will be related to the last post. The last post was about me creating a power up bar that loads up and lights power up icons when they are ready to use.
Since last time we have redesigned the power up bar. The last example was draw by me (programmer art) and was not very pleasant to look at. We want to avoid static HUD as much as we can, this means that we […]

Game Development Blog 6.

Here’s a bit of music for you to listen to while you read, should you like to:

Brace for deceleration, we’re calming down.

With one of our coders leaving the course and the never-ending updates and fixes that we can do to the game itself, it’s been pretty hard. That said we’re finally up in front of these things  and it’s looking like the game might be […]

Technically we do have another week after this one, but most of that will be spent obsessing over project reports and finishing work from the graphics course. Even this week the art side of Mole Munch decided to cut down on the hours in order to dedicate more hours to the 2D course.
I have been working on getting those last tasty […]
