Amenti – 1

The first week of the project mostly contained a lot of planning and documentation which can be tedious but deep down we know that it is a essential part to make the project go much smoother.
Besides planning and documentation I have worked on the prototype of the tutorial room where the player is introduced to the core mechanics of the game. The majority of the mechanics are based on interacting with objects and picking up stuff, like fire, life or […]

BGP: Refracted Fate – Keypads, cameras and dimension shifting!

Hello everyone, back with another one of thus blog posts.  Recently I have been focusing on finishing the dimension shifting power, but also working on the camera system that watch different corridors and track the player.

Alien Station – Development Week 3

Introduction
As lead designer, producer, script writer, and possibly even but less likely so, programmer, on the project Alien Station (working title), I will primarily work on creating the game’s narrative and designing the game’s mechanics to work in unison with it, all the while documenting and making sure production is coherent.
Week 3 of the course and project has been quite eclectic as far as my personal work goes: I have worked on three key areas for this week: Manuscript; the […]

Neon Skies – Week 3

Week 3 focused on creating a fast 3D sketch of the drop pod that the players will come down in. However, due to me having to travel away, we decided that it was better to start work on something that would take a longer time that I could work on independently for extended periods, as such we started work on the mining drones.



In the beginning we were going for a very robust style on the drones with 4 […]

First production week, first post

It has been a while since this blog was used, however new year and new game requires for some posts here.
So what has been done since the “Big Game Project” course started? Well, the […]

First Week Of Production

CritterFlux is an idea me and my teammates had during a late night pokemonGO walk during the road to GGC. We were discussing our previous game which also was an android based but much bigger in scope. After a while of conversation we decided to pitch our new game concept and test the water and see how many would be interested. This was a hit and almost a couple of days after the pitch we had potential recruters and teammembers […]

vecka 1, karta och GPS

Första veckan med att jobba på spelet började med att vi satt och diskuterade på vad alla skulle jobba med under projektets första fas. Jag fick uppgift att fixa karta, vilket skulle vara Google maps, i liknande stil med Pokemon Go. Jag skulle även behöva få in GPS koordinaterna från Android enheten som spelet spelade på.
Det första som jag gjorde då var att söka efter hur man skulle kunna programmera detta själv och om det fanns några tips på hur […]

WEEK 6 – THE COMEBACK

WHAT
This week I was primarily tasked with continuing to create sounds for the game, while also refining some of the sounds we already had. The tasks I was given were:

Create a sound for when the character is damaged in the game.
Create a sound for each enemy when they are damaged by the player.
Create a sound for when you are firing the laser gun.
Create a sound for when you are firing the nerf gun.
Create UI sounds, such as when traversing the […]

Week 1 and 2 of Big Game Project: Production and Design

These two weeks saw the start of a project that is to span 8 weeks of development, where I will be taking the role of Producer along with part-time Designer and Programmer. The game being made is an isometric 3D-game, tactical and turn-based. Secret agendas are a main mechanic, where-in players will be given secret objectives to complete that include betraying other players and killing them before reaching the end game. In short, the Mechanics involve Moving and Attacking enemies and allies, […]

De två första produktionsveckorna av Fast Gear

Hej!
Nu har Big Game Project startat och så även produktionen av vårat spel ”Fast Gear”.   Fast Gear är ett story-based racingspel, där spelaren både före och efter ett race har en dialog med andra karaktärer i spelet samt med pressen. Beroende på hur spelaren agerar före, under och efter racet har det en påverkan på hur storyn utspelar sig.
Jag blev utnämnd till producer för detta projekt så dessa två veckor har jag organiserat en projektplan med backlog och allt […]
