Week 8: The week before final

Stressful? Not at all! I’m just chillin, sweating… crying..
 
Planning for the final
We had a discussion about how to proceed from here. The lead programmer told me that there is a lot of artifacts they don’t have the time to implement, we have to concentrate on the core features before anything else. So we needed to throw some stuff away, I read through the plans for this week and erased the tasks that we didn’t have time to implement.
Now that the artist don’t have […]

Week 7: Beta Presentation

Right now
I am getting ready for the Beta presentation we are having for tomorrow. The last time I held the presentation I didn’t get that much sleep because I was up crunching with two other members from our group, and I was one of the few who didn’t have a PowerPoint for it.
The critique I got was mostly that we needed to show some pictures of the icons we had; I didn’t think of that. We were going to show how our game worked right on […]

Week 6: Animations

Enough with the details already!! I got 2 animations done, one is the shooting sequence (both guard and player) And the other one is a strangling sequence. First of I started with a fast sketch just to see if it would look good (I learned from reading Mikaela Mobergs Blog). And yes, it was a helpful strategy! So first I had the sketch then I started to color it.
Here you have the sketch (its not going to be running this […]

Week 5: Title Screen And Buttons!

OK so we got 2 more weeks until our Beta-Deadline, uh i can feel it closing in!
I wanted to plan everything so that we don’t miss out on the stuff we need to add to our game, i got the tip from our SCRUM-Master, Lee. Lee is a third year student and works as a mentor to us, he has done some projects before us and been the “Producer”. He asked me about how i keep track on our progress […]

Week 4: Small talking about HUD & GUI

This week I shall present to you the mission objective icon, and also a HUD (Head-up Display).
This is a PDA containing some of the Corporation plans, and blueprints, yes, in the 1940s this would be shown as a filing case/folder. First out I started drawing a beige file, then I started thinking about how to make it futuristic looking. Then I remembered the tablets of today’s technology… real life, but still… it did not exactly have what I was looking […]

Week 3: Game designing project.

As written before we were assigned titles to our so called “professions”. Being part of the graphics group, I got elected Lead Artist. Under the duration of this project well have to present the work that we have done! For now I also carry the title of “producer”, keeping track on the project and planning according our deadlines ahead.
I created a logo to add a bit more identity to the company that the player will have to infiltrate, and one that […]

The SCRUM-Document has been handed in, we have completed our backlog and are concentrating on the sprint planning and review. Most of the features are intact, we may take away some items that will be placed in the map, the one thing we had to insert was the deadlines for each task we had put there in the first place.
Monday we are going to sit down and look at the Game Design Document and try to finish it as soon […]

Lighting a character

Hey!
Today ill be presenting my lighting/shadowing my character, this is something totally new, everything i have done before is drawing character. So with no experience in shadowing or other coloring stuff, we had a “walkthrough” in class. And this is the result of that!

So basically we took the character from before and worked on it, again, but this time i removed the mantle and his weapons to make it a bit easier. So we got 2 more thing to […]
