The Core Game System: I agree that the core system is the player/character movement. It’s what moves the game’s story forward, and if the players didn’t move around there wouldn’t be any new […]

Week 40: Diffuse, Specular and Normal Mapping
This week has been very eventful, but by no means tedious. With an optimised crate model good to go I could proceed with applying texture to it. It seemed to be a daunting endeavour at first, with so many new terms and methods to learn from scratch. I couldn’t be more wrong as my work progressed. This was accomplished by three simple steps: making a Diffuse, Specular and at last a Normal map.
Diffuse
First I began with the Diffuse, which […]

One month
Now I have stayed in Visby for one month, studied together with 95 gamerstudents, had assignments, group work and other activities. I have walked along the city’s streets, around the wall and to Galgberget north of Visby. But I mostly chill at my flat, surfing on the internet, studying, reading student literature, playing video games and watching movies. Three weeks ago I was an a guided bus toar to the northern part of Gotland. Two weeks ago I was visited by my […]

Hazards – Spikes and arrow trap
Today went very well, I started working on the hazards of the game and decided to start with spikes.
Spikes is just what it sounds like, a set of connecting spikes that damages the player when he enters them. Because the spikes has no solid hitbox I added a pushback to the player so he doesn’t just fall through them and take damage. The reason for not having a solid hitbox is that the player would be able to stand on top […]

Board game analysis; Small World Underworld
General
Small world underground is a strategy war game much like the previous game my group analyzed, called Dust. This game is however much less complex and more focused on straight forward conquering using the power of number of units combined with abilities. Small world underword is a game for 2-5 players where the game board’s size is adjustable to the number of players in the game.
There are 15 different races that are combined with 21 randomly attached ability cards, […]

Week 4 assignment
Why I made a new model
My previous models proved to be too diabolically constructed for them to be cleaned up and uv-mapped, so I decided to make a new sci-fi crate where the focus on detail was left to the texture itself. This way I can work more efficiently and hopefully recover the time that I lost during my sick leave. I also had to disregard UDK and use Unity as engine instead, because UDK kept crashing on me.
Motivations […]

3D1 week 4 assignment (texturing)
This time its all about learning how to use textures!
As I stated in my previous posts is that the style I am referring to is the one seen throughout the game Skyrim. I tried to achieve some reality feeling as someone actually made this basket by hand, taking the materials from trees and crafting it. This basket would be used like a container for like flasks or anything smaller. This prop would fit either on the floor or in a shelf.

Analysis of Sushi Go!
Collect sushi with cute anime faces. Dip them in wasabi and triple their points!
Every round in Sushi Go! you collect sushi of different kinds, then you count points based on what you picked. Often you need a collection of the same dish to get the required points, but some cards combos with another card.
Every round, each player starts out with X cards in their hand. Based on the number of players in […]
