The blog is a lie!

So, I’m not actually a game developer…or at least not a paid one (yet!). I am currently studying my second year in Game Design and Programming at Uppsala University campus Gotland. 
I have never blogged before but now my teachers have forced my hand so here I am. I have no idea what I am actually supposed to write about but i guess that will pan out over time. If not i might just come up with something myself.
Peace!

Mastery in MMOG´s

So a while ago I had an interesting discussion with a teacher where he said that what makes Massive Multiplayer Online Games (MMOG´s) so hard to design is that there are a big amount of players, that all are different.
His point being that they started playing at different times, they play via different time schedules (some play 6 hours a day, while some play 2), some are quick learners, some are not.
Now the biggest challenge in this is the people […]

A Reflection of System Analysis

Let me tell you a story.
Once upon a time there were 2 board games and 1 role-playing game that wanted to be analysed. They wanted to be broken down into their tiniest pieces and then they wanted to know what their systems were. The biggest box Setty was confident in his systems and he feared no one.
– I have a wonderful system that brings shame on others!
Ani said in response:
– I have more cards than you’ll […]

A Serious Problem for Serious Games

It’s been a while since I wrote in this blog but it has been a couple of busy weeks. So I’ll give you an update on what I have done and what’s coming.
The problem for serious games that I decided to do was Global Warming. It was a big problem but I felt that the focus on global warming has decreased in late years. That is because I remember it when it was all over the news and everywhere and […]

Board game group meeting

Today our group had a group meeting, talking about what everyone concluded in their analysis of the boardgames we played.
We’ve played The Settlers of Catan, Anima: Shadow of Omega and Fiasco. All games are very different and have been interesting to play and analyse back to back, really showing their different sides.
This makes me excited about what board game our group will finally come up with.

Analysing Board Games During Nightmare Week.

So this week has been tough, mainly because of the three analyses of board games that was due for today in my Advanced Game Design class, but also because Serious Games, the other class I’m reading is unexpectedly ramping up with assignments.
On top of this I got to know earlier this week that Almedalsbiblioteket wanted to exhibit our game Alienation through an arcade machine they are putting up. The installation will be this Saturday, tomorrow at 18:00. This is great […]
