First Week Of Production

CritterFlux is an idea me and my teammates had during a late night pokemonGO walk during the road to GGC. We were discussing our previous game which also was an android based but much bigger in scope. After a while of conversation we decided to pitch our new game concept and test the water and see how many would be interested. This was a hit and almost a couple of days after the pitch we had potential recruters and teammembers […]

vecka 1, karta och GPS

Första veckan med att jobba på spelet började med att vi satt och diskuterade på vad alla skulle jobba med under projektets första fas. Jag fick uppgift att fixa karta, vilket skulle vara Google maps, i liknande stil med Pokemon Go. Jag skulle även behöva få in GPS koordinaterna från Android enheten som spelet spelade på.
Det första som jag gjorde då var att söka efter hur man skulle kunna programmera detta själv och om det fanns några tips på hur […]

Introduction to Fast Gear.

Hello! My name is Daniel Qvarnemark and for the rest of spring I’ll be working as art lead on our Big Game Project, called fast gear, a racing game that also puts focus on the downtime between races where you’ll talk to other drivers, hold press conferences, etc…
Here I’ll write about my work-process atleast once each week, both for myself and for those interested.
Looking forward to it!
 

Week 1 – Big Game Project

Hello and welcome back to my blog. I’ll yet again start to update this and fill it with my journey during the Big Game Project Course and making of the game Amenti.

WEEK 6 – THE COMEBACK

WHAT

Create a sound for when the character is damaged in the game.
Create a sound for each enemy when they are damaged by the player.
Create a sound for when you are firing the laser gun.
Create a sound for when you are firing the nerf gun.
Create UI sounds, such as when traversing the […]

Hello and welcome

Welcome to my blog about game design and programming. This blog is an assignment in my course, Big Game Project. The goal is to have a finished game in approximately 2 months. During this process I will write in this blog and talk about my design decisions and programming.
We are seven people who will be working on Fast Gear. My role in this is lead programmer, which means I will oversee the work of the other programmers, coordinate our efforts […]

The votes are in, and the fifth talk is…

Our fifth speaker presented us with not just one idea, but four(!). We wanted all of them, natch, and the arguing about which one to pick was so fierce we just decided to abdicate our responsibility and let someone else choose. You all voted in our Facebook poll and the result was 40% for a critical examination of so called “empathy games”.
So Bonnie Ruberg – founder of the Queerness and Games Conference, academic

Week 1 and 2 of Big Game Project: Production and Design

These two weeks saw the start of a project that is to span 8 weeks of development, where I will be taking the role of Producer along with part-time Designer and Programmer. The game being made is an isometric 3D-game, tactical and turn-based. Secret agendas are a main mechanic, where-in players will be given secret objectives to complete that include betraying other players and killing them before reaching the end game. In short, the Mechanics involve Moving and Attacking enemies and allies, […]

BGP – Day 12

A Burning Arm and Motion Capture
Continuing my work, I started the day looking more into the material transition of the arm to make it change materials. Currently it’s to make it look like its glows as it catches on fire and then have it transition into the normal skin of the arm. But the transition has to look more natural than what it did in the previous video and I have found a solution, I just have to implement it.
The […]

De två första produktionsveckorna av Fast Gear

Hej!
Nu har Big Game Project startat och så även produktionen av vårat spel ”Fast Gear”.   Fast Gear är ett story-based racingspel, där spelaren både före och efter ett race har en dialog med andra karaktärer i spelet samt med pressen. Beroende på hur spelaren agerar före, under och efter racet har det en påverkan på hur storyn utspelar sig.
Jag blev utnämnd till producer för detta projekt så dessa två veckor har jag organiserat en projektplan med backlog och allt […]

BGP – Big game project

Hi!
Now it’s been more than one year since last time I used this blog. Last time I wrote all my blog posts in swedish but will now change to english. Last time we were doing our space-shooters but since then I’ve done a theme-park game called Fruitality and learned a lot about 3D modeling and texturing which is one reasons for not doing any 2D art since Themepark.
For Big Game I am now producer and an artist (mostly for textures […]
