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 […]

Hey Ben!
I hope my comment shows now
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.
Your blog entry is well […]

Thank you for this insight on your unique workflow of creating the animation cycle of your sky slug. You clearly communicate to the reader what struggles you have had while working on this challenge and how you faced them.

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 […]

Level Design
Level Design – A Design Decision
So! The biggest puzzle pieces were set. We knew the goals and “feel” of the game, we knew how the player character was supposed to act and move, we knew the rough outline of the challenges we wanted the player to face and we knew how long we wanted the game to be. With these aspects in mind it was time to design the levels.
Starting off, I mentally separated the game into three faces. The […]

Good post on the process behind the level design! I do have a couple of thoughts about how it could have been a little clearer though, so here we go…
“The level I have been working on is the first 30 seconds of playable terrain” I am fond of this part and the directly proceeding one where you clearly state what part of the game you have been working on. I would have loved to see […]

Hey Karl,
I have to say that this blog was one truly interesting, fluid article; easy to read and follow. It introduced me to some basics of level designing (interesting correlation with the music composing).
I like the slow introduction/tutorial way of teaching the player basics of mechanics and controls; rather than writing them on a paper or having them in written form on the screen, which then has to be memorised mostly […]
