Overview of important steps

I had written in a previous entry addressing my disbelief for the system we had created and how I failed to create a different tile system. Why did I go through all that trouble? Because just claiming it’s not “fun” enough or insignificant enough to the …

Board game progress report (Advanced Game Design) – 20131021

Today, we had a seminar this morning in Advanced Game Design. Marcus Ingvarsson, the teacher holding it, decided that each group talked to him in private where we demonstrated our game in it’s current state.
Since our group had a late time with him, we decided to do some more polish to our game before showing it to Marcus. Today we tested the wands in the game (previously called items). The purpose of our game is to find a talisman and […]

Project Grottan 2013-10-14

As said in the last post my group is working on a board game called Grottan. In this board game we decided to focus on exploration which meant that we had to make different tiles. The different tiles that were created were the Start tile, Exit tiles, Food tiles, Challenge tiles and the Path tiles. Each one of these fills its own purpose and are all essential for the core system of moving through the cave.

Doom’s Date, small update.

I just want remind people that Doom’s Date is on it’s way and we had a quite Important meeting on the programming side of it today. So now when everything starts to get planned hopefully the list of work will decrease at a faster rate and you will soon be able to enjoy Dr Doom’s company 😀

Serious board game the start!

So during the week my serious game group have been working on a concept document for serious board game. So far we are just on a concept level, but next week we will start to prototype it 🙂
The board game is supposed to enlighten the problem with Sweden’s long wait time at emergency rooms. At the moment we are planning a co-op game where the players get to play nurses at a hospitals emergency department. That is all I’m going […]

The first public testing

Last Thursday we had our first public play-test of our game. It went well, almost too well. We got our prototype to work at an acceptable level about one hour before the public testing started. we got some nice feedback from the testing and now we are going to develop it further. But what is the game my group works on? Well It’s a card game where the players have to bluff their way to victory. I don’t want to […]

Doom’s UpDate

Today we discussed how we wanted to structure our work. Me and my fellow programmer wrote down what we wanted to structure it with classes and stuff.
I know I said that we would do this in Unity but after some research and testing we decided that it was not the best platform for our game. SFML was our second choice and we will make it work the best we can 😀
Besides the programming I will focus on the dialogue tree […]
