Team 12 Game Development Report 1 – Traps and mechanics

What I made: This week my big focus was on making traps and obstacles for the player to dodge.
The spider: The spider trap is a trap that will be somewhat hidden for the player and once the player is within striking range. Once the player is within striking range the spider will lunge downwards towards the player, the spider will charge downwards really quickly and once the spider has completed its charging cycle it will slowly reel back in to […]

Game Development process week 4

We are now a couple of weeks in in the development process of our game and so far we have come quite a long way. At the moment we have a game that is playable with the character able to shoot a harmless alien to win and if the players touches the alien the player loses the game.
This last week I have been working on some of the sprites for the game but the one I am going to talk […]

ARTEFACT 1 – PARALLAX ENVIRONMENTin BAT the Game
Four weeks has passed since my team 12 and I started the Space Shooter Project “Heartbeat Bat”. The original concept was designed by Team 7.
For this project I was assigned the role as Lead Artist. My responsibility lies in creating the visual appearance in our game. However since we are only two artists in our team we decided to devide the working tasks. I got the environmental tasks and […]

Typing with sfml

The game Magic Writer , as the name might suggest centers on writing. So the game could use at least a function for typing words.
In magic writer the player can choose between three words to write. Each letter in the word that you enter in the correct order will be changed to a different colour so one can keep track of which letter have already been written and which ones are left. When a word is finished the embodiment of […]

Unity, and the passion to actually do something.

This will be kind of a dev-blog post. It was not intended intended to be a series of posts, just this one, and maybe another to show of the final product. But this post turned out to be a wall of text, and I haven’t really talked about what I intended to in the first place. So there will be two more posts!
I first heard about unity in… 2008, maybe 2009, back at the university. According to Wikipedia, it was […]

Character sprite sheet

So first blogpost on the new course and first on the blog as well! Better late than never I suppose.
So during the past two weeks sprint planning I took upon making a sprite sheet for our character for our game Magic Writer. By talking and brainstorming back and forth with my group members on how the character could look and move, I sat down and started to work on a sprite sheet. We had a few different ideas of how it […]

2D Game Project: Player Bullet Design

A few weeks ago we finally started to make an actual game. A 2D “space shooter”. The definition of space shooter is that the player Avatar has to be able to shoot and that gravity is not allowed. So no 2D platformer here.
From the available concepts to choose from my group, named Team 5, chose a game called “The Last Signal”. Compared to the other concept available this is a game that actually takes place in space! The player takes […]
