“Your blog post wasn’t on any specific topic, rather than a little update on how you are doing right now in the game development process. I found it interesting to read and It was a good blog post. It explained some struggles that you have been through so far, and how that has made you improve. However there were some things I would have liked to have explained a bit more. Such as the reason why you started from scratch.

Play testing the mystery
During development we’ve had two play testing sessions.
The first one was in a quite early stage of development, which meant we were mostly focusing on basic game mechanics. During this play test we only had basic movement, shooting and random spawned enemies, which limited the feedback we were able to receive. The feedback was mostly related to the looks of the game, with the flashlight, the mist and the vibe is set.
The second play test was between the alpha and […]

Designing a Boss
This week (or last depending on how you look at it) has been mostly about getting the boss designed and scripted.
Our aesthetic goal for Umibozu is mystery, and in our boss fight is more a “run away from the boss” than actually fighting it.
So the layout is as follows:
The player goes out from the harbor in search for a missing person who allegedly was going into the mysterious waters where Umibozu is rumored to roam. After sailing through the mist […]

Blog 5: The importance of playtesting
When playtesting it is important that you know what you want to test and how you want to test it. Doing a playtest with the wrong focus could lead to no useful feedback what-so-ever and make that test practically useless. If you want to test the games difficulty, make sure the enemies are the main focus of the game, or if you want to test the level design and how the player approaches the game make sure you watch and […]

Hey!
You are describing in a good and detailed way how you have worked with the music and what decisions you have made in the process and why you made them in a clear and detailed way that is easy to understand, so that is good. You describe the background of your game and the ”general idea” of your game so I as a reader get a hum of what game you are making which is good so that I can […]

Comment on blog 4 – Ana Laura
Hi Ana Laura
Until now, I have only commented on blog posts written by someone with the same minor as myself (design that is), so this feels refreshing. First of all – the squirrel is very cute and watching all the pictures in a row is like reading a little story.
I know a bit about the basics about animations due to earlier experience, but I have not done much of it myself. This blog surely is a reminder of how much […]

Thank you very much for this blog entry. Not only do you present what you have done this week, but you also talk about what issues you have had and how you solved them. Great! Pixel Art is definitely not appreciated enough in my opinion, and after reading your entry I feel even more so.

Wow. First sentence and I was hooked. Cool intro, very dramatic.
Hmm so about the whole; user stories vs. backlog part. First of all, I 100% get why you did what you did. I did the same thing. Marcus asked us to fill out the backlog, but never explained the connection to the user stories, so we filled out the bloody thing. Here’s the sitch tho. From what I can gather, we were supposed to make […]

First off. Great intro, great summary of what scrum is, great picture, great sources, and great motivation of why it’s worth the time. It makes me so happy to hear you explaining how scrum has helped you in day to day life. I don’t know if this is a professional thing to say, but I’m a sucker for random life lessons
On a more serious note, a little more in- depth explanation about the foundations […]
