“Hi Hanna!
Your blog is so nice to read! I love the slide show of your assets at the end, that shows us what you’ve made and we can see what you have contributed with to the game – and it is beautiful. I wish I had done the same in my blog.
I like that you have described your game, using a lot of pictures, so the reader can visualize the game. But it would be nice to put the game […]

Hi,
I will start by saying that I have seen your game evolve and change throughout the 9 weeks of production. From the first background to the new parallax, the changes you applied to the colors, the enemies and your animations. You It is pretty clear that you and your team have understood how to work with scrum and how to iterate and build upon the assets you already have.
To be fair, i think your game was the most […]

Comment : blog post assignment 6

Hey, good post!
I played your game during the last playtesting session, I think. Good job, it was an entertaining game!
Your post was clear throughout ; I enjoyed your insights on the MVP and its importance. It’s true that I can’t imagine how it would’ve been like to work with the waterfall method. At first, I was skeptical about scrum but I find it was the right choice of method.
From a programmer’s perspective, your game had some nice stuff going on, […]

Minor changes, major consequences

Sometimes in life, you have to learn the hard way.
While working late on the enemy AI one night, I decided that I wanted more structure in the hierarchy in the Unity scene I was working in. To structure up the scene I added a number of empty objects and named them after the objects that they would represent in the hierarchy. These empty objects act similarly to ordinary folders when objects are placed as children under them. I was content […]

Hi there Teo!
When it comes to seeing your creation come to life I feel just like you do, it is truly something magical.
The ‘what has gone well’ part of the text seems so short, you start it of with “First, I’d like to start with what have gone well:”, which signals to the reader that there will be several things that you will bring up that has gone well during your project. If […]

Hi there Max!
Right of the bat you let the reader know what the post is all about, great!
It would have been nice to know what your survey’s questions are, giving the start of the post more substance. If you could have written any of the differences that you found when observing your testers during the alpha and the beta would have been interesting to read about, if there were any that is.
I am […]

Hello Adam! The first couple of sentences made it instantly clear as to what the post is about, the second half of the first paragraph is not as clear however. Considering that you are a programmer I take it that the enemies in the game has been, up until this point, in a placeholder state coding wise. I do, however, recall that the dragonfly looked differently before and acted fairly similarly to the […]

Managerial postmortem

Student group members would say in perfect unison “With little or no experience, we did our best, to make the game”, to summarize the project. But individual student members in different minors might bring different overlook on the project. From a perspective of a project manager I would like to summary the project itself in following parts: goal, purpose, playtesting, prerequisites, and progress.
Project goal. The goal of the project to produce the game according to the concept and course requirements […]

Hello there Isak! It is good to see that you feel like you have improved your work ethics! I know all too well about the trap that is procrastination, I have been there before and still am, to an extent.
Your post highlights the most important part of scrum, which would be the communication and re-iteration aspect. I do feel however, that you could have gone more in depth on how you and your […]

Hello Roberto, Very interesting and well-structured post! The insight on why the cannon looks like it does is appreciated and I have a few questions on the few things that seems to have been left out of the original post.
First up, between the first mock-up and the alpha version the cannon has changed in color, it would have been interesting to know about the reasons for this change.
Second, you mention Super Metroid and […]

The start of the post should act as an introduction to the rest of the post, right now it introduces the game your group is making instead of what the actual post is about. I can understand that you would like to introduce the group and the game that you are making but maybe that is for another post.
Disregarding the introduction, the rest of the post is very clear […]

6.1 Comment on another blog – Team B, Simon Ågren

Hello Simon, my name is Carl and I was the lead designer for Group T, and I’ll be the one commenting on your blog this time.
This was an intresting read, since I would say that I could relate to most of it and I would say you explain what you’ve learned pretty good. I can understand the feeling of not really finding your position in the group, since the most our job is basically being a QA, do simple documenting, […]
