The tile map

I’ve been working on the tile map for our space shooter game. Each and every tile have a different texture and sound when the avatar walks over them, some tiles have collision vs some entities, the avatar, the projectiles and the enemy amongst others.
We did not want to hard code the entire map, since this would be time consuming and a pain when needing to create and make changes to the map. Instead the tile map creation that reads from […]

Spelutveckling #1

Våran grupp har valt att göra spelet MagicWriter där spelaren ska skriva in ord som karaktären i spelet tänker på. Dessa ord finns i tankebubblor där det alltid finns tre alternativ att välja mellan. Man ska sedan skjuta dessa föremål man skriver in på monster som kommer för att attackera stranden man är på.
Vi har använt oss utav SFML (Simple and Fast Media Library) som är ett verktyg som vi har använt oss utav i Visual Studio för att […]

Test Animation

For one of the courses I’m currently studying, my group and I have been assigned to build a 2D game based on another group’s concept. My role in this production is Lead Art; to keep track on all the graphics being made between the three artists. My main task is to animate the player avatar and antagonist, and I started by doing a test animation of the player avatar, since it will be the focal point on the screen and it’s crucial […]

Space Shooter Project. Blog 1. Score System

Mole Munch Score System
For this blogpost I am reflecting about the outline for our high-score system. I will begin by providing a quick summary of our game and how it works to create a better understanding of my thought process regarding the score system design.
We are making a game called Mole Munch. In the game the player takes on the role of a mole who resides within a garden. It is set in different levels, with one garden being one […]

Making footstep sound effects

In the current course, we are creating a game based on another group’s concept. My group chose a concept called Fancy Mansion, in which you play as a burglar and have to find valuables while avoiding the owner of the house, Mr. Fancy. This week I have mainly been designing sound effects; footstep sound effects. These sounds will have an important role in gameplay as the player will listen to what kind of footstep sounds come from Mr. Fancy and […]

The Green Warden – Report 1

I have lately been working on implementing tiles into our game, through the use of old code and a program called Tiled. The program creates TMX files that can be read into Visual Studio to create tiled maps and it has an interface that is very clear and allows the user to visually create the tiles within the program and then convert it into a TMX file which contains some of the information needed in order to […]

Plocka upp vasen!

Det här är mitt första blogginlägg för det aktuella grupparbetet. Vi har valt att göra ett spel på spelkonceptet ”Fancy Mansion” som grupp 15 skrev.
Den här veckan vill jag skriva om föremålet som jag implementerade i spelet, för tillfället är spelet i pre-alpha och det finns fortfarande buggar kvar att fixa innan alphan. Vasen är ett objekt i spelet som spelaren ska plocka upp och placera på en ”dropzon” för att erhålla poäng/pengar som är målet med spelet.
När jag kodade […]
