Scrap Pirates – GGC-results, kind of

So, GGC is over. No prize, but Scrap Pirates were nominated over half of the categorize we could be nominated for. Nominated meaning we were in the top five.
Even if we did not win anything we are still content with the conference and we think we will continue working on it again after the summer and a well needed vacation.
Have a good summer, everyone!

Big Game Project #3 – Game feature challenge focus

When creating features for a game, one should always consider the aesthetic goal of the game. However sometimes a features need to be deliberately designed so that they do not pose a challenge to the player. Some features just need to be easy to use.
Me and a group of six other people presented a game at the Gotland Game Conference 2015, Tamarrion, a hardcore action role playing game. During development of this game we designed features such as our player skill/spell system. This […]

My latest concept art

Halloween Surprise

I am trying out a new theme where trolls meet the modern society. Kind of a modern homage to John Bauer.

3D Challenge – Day 3

Today I have learned about modifiers and segments.
A modifier can be added to a primitive to change its appearance. However, the primitive’s original appearance will be preserved. In this example i used a ”Bend” modifier to bend a cylinder primitive:

I also learned about segments in primitives. By changing the number of segments, the appearance can be change as well. More segments looks smoother while less segments looks edgy. So i added a lot more height segments to the cylinder to […]

Big Game Project #2 – Using game development engines vs coding from scratch

During our game project we used the Unity game development engine and it was a good choice of engine because of it having many built in features. If you are unfamiliar with Unity, it has an asset store where game developers can upload assets in order to help others by sharing features and sometimes make money from it, having the assets cost a fee. Another fact that made Unity a good choice for our development team is that the engine has […]

3D Challenge – Day 1 & 2

Hi!
I feel it is time to introduce myself. My name is Thom Hujanen and I have just finished my first year of my Bachelor’s degree in Game Design and Graphics at Uppsala University – Campus Gotland in Sweden.
So, I am learning game design and everything about graphics in games. I am not sure what my end goal with this education is. But I am going to find it out while I am here. However, I am really interested in 3D […]
