BGP – Scrap Pirates – Week 3
For the third week of the Big Game Project, I’ve been finishing and saving the main rough animations for the first player character as sprite sheets, as well as begun cleaning some of the animation. I spent a bit longer than expected with the shoot-animation, though it turned out very simple in the end (only being two frames long). I did a couple of different tests with the character holding his arms in different positions to see what felt and […]

Big Game Project – Week 3 – Level Design
We are now three weeks into production on our vertical slice for the Gotland Game conference. Our group consists of 7 people and the game we are making is called NAAR.
Most of my time so far has been spent on the level design. So I started by making some simple sketches on the layout after a few iterations I had something that was ready for the next step. I started to block out the level in 3ds max with simple meshes. I started with […]

The sum of its inputs
Finally the system for handling inputs is complete, the reason i didn’t post yesterday is because i spent all day getting to a point where i could test the function for comparing two integer arrays to each other. (actually checking if the first array contains the second at some part) However, when testing to make sure the function worked as it should i kept getting an error claiming that the variables were out of scope.
After several hours of searching […]

Theme Park, first sprint
So this week is our second week after starting to use the scrum and time for second sprint. I started with finishing all the still images for all 8 angles on the kids, both idle and slide state. I did not have time to draw “that special kid” yet, that will have to wait until I´m done with all the basics needed for alpha. I really hope I´ll get time to implement it tho. it would add a lot of […]

BGP Week 2 – Camera
So, this is going to be a rather short blog post, since most of the stuff I did was “chore” programming. Things that needed to be done, but aren’t really food for an interesting blog post..
One thing which importance is often forgotten in 3D games is that of the camera. It is, by far *the* most vital thing, that could easily, and completely, break the experience. And it’s no wonder either.. When designing a game, you go to great lengths […]

Theme Park Banner
Just a quick update on what I’ve been currently working on this past week.
I’ve been working on the banner for our Theme Park game, called PvGvP (player vs god vs player).The basic idea for the game is to have two players fight each other in an arena, while avoiding various traps around the arena. These traps are activated/controlled by a third player aka the god.
This player will be in control over the various traps and their job is to try […]

Exploring Wind: Week 3 of production.
Hello everyone and welcome to week three of the project, Exploring Wind.
So this week, I’ve been working a lot with the character after we got told that our current design’s silhouette was a bit too close to a concept we had taken inspiration from. So I took on the task to redesign the poncho that the character is wearing to make sure it gets it’s own, unique look.
I started out with making small thumbnails using only gray scale to make […]

BGP Art – Trees and LODs
Not a lot has changed since last week, regarding my work responsibilites. I have mostly been starting on new assets and finishing others.
Among these, we now have all 6 completed trees + 1 dead tree.

Big Game Project: Week Two
This week has mostly focused on fleshing out the game’s look and feel as well as active dialogue to ensure we all were on the same boat in this regard. With a design meeting taking place early on to help keeping common ground between the design and art department. To further aid in this endeavour I was assigned to write a dedicated aesthetic document for the group to access at any time in order to always have easily understood guidelines […]

Week 3 Naar Big Game Project
the third week of the project was going as planned, almost. What I did was to add the spells for the boss to the spell UML. This UML is now more of list of spells loosely indicating how they can be connected rather than an absolute and definite spell setup. This is because of a newly acquired feature of the UE4. A spell system. This system is dedicated to make custom spells within the engine and can make almost all […]
