Back to work.
I’m a bit rusty on the blogging but now it’s a course requirement again so here we go.
Big Game Project have started and my previous efforts have landed me a position in a group. Fantastic.
I was contacted to join the group on Sunday and officially joined the group in it’s office on Tuesday morning. The group names is Giraffic Art and our game is a third-person game where the player controls a character and casts spells by moving analoge sticks. […]

Blogpost no.6 : Projektet
Tjenare,
Den här veckan har inte gått så bra för mig med artefakter i spelet. Jag har inte varit i skolan så mycket, detta på grund utav diverse anledningar. Så jag tänkte berätta mer om hur projektet har gått och vad jag ska ta med mig till senare projekt.
Projektet har gått bra! Det enda som har varit ganska dåligt, och väldigt specifikt för just vår grupp, är att vi har en väldigt långsam start. Vi började med projektet 2 veckor in […]

Polishing for Final. Animations and such.
Hey there!
After a couple of days in bed after a cold I am now back on my feet and are currently working on polishing and fixing current bugs and problems with our animation and trying to get them in order so the right ones play as they should. The ones I am currently working on are when the player grows or shrinks in size as they get more or losses candy. I have worked on this since it was one […]

Coding a main menu
This week has been a bit hectic. Lots to do and little time to do it. We’ve had some big features that feel absolutely necessary to implement for the final version of the game. One of those was a main menu from where the player can start the game and look at highscores, credits, and the control scheme. (And quit the application of course. This was a bit of a hassle to achieve, and the solution isn’t even very pretty. […]

Weekly blog assignment #6
Hello people!
As it is getting closer to the final, we have worked on more tuning and polishing. We had a couple of meetings talking about all the things in the game that we had yet not decided. For example there was the defeat screen and the victory screen that we had not decided on how it would look like. What information that the victory screen should show and the same for the defeat screen.
I also worked on making the items […]

Game Development Blog 6
So this is the first of two polish weeks before final!
Now we will focus on making sure that the game actually works and looks good, and most importantly, is hopefully fun to play.
This week, just like the last couple of weeks I have been mostly focusing on enemy AI, more specifically the pathfinding behavior of our AI.
This has proven much more time consuming than I had imagined at the start of this project, but I feel like I have learned […]

Design for Magic Writer. Blog post 6, Design Document
No one ever reads the design document…The tale of a game designerWelcome back to another Magic Writer design blog post! This week is the last one and I’ll be writing a more overarching post about our teams design document.
I’m the lead designer for magic writer, and in the early stages of our project I was the sole designer. I tasked myself with writing the whole design document and doing all the design work. This turned out to be much harder […]

Spelutveckling #5
Det är svårt att välja en artefakt att skriva om denna vecka eftersom att vi just nu jobbar med att förbättra det sista på spelet som bland annat att förbättra features, byta ut placeholder ljud och sprites och ta bort minnesläckor. Så jag kommer bara gå igenom vad jag har jobbat på för förbättringar till spelet denna vecka.
så till och börja med har jag denna vecka jobbat på att byta ut placeholder ljud i vårat spel Magic Writer. Jag har […]

Tutorial
This week I’ve been implementing the tutorial for our game Trespawsser, and for change I’m going to focus on the design aspect rather than the coding aspect of this artifact, however I will briefly touch on the code as well.
The tutorial is pretty standard, and nothing I am particularly proud of, and I will come back to why that is later.
The tutorial is built in the main level, so there is no external “training area”. This is because we wanted […]
