More sound effects and music
Well this week I have been continuing the work on the sound effects and music, hopefully this week I will be done with the sound in its entirety I have gotten all the sound artefacts that are left except for the music for when the guards are in the alerted state.
I’ve been getting a few different sounds that are atmospheric for the game and good indicators for what is happening, such as the sound for locked doors which is a […]

New Artifact – Option state
That is a sprite I made this week. It’s a lazer and they are supposed to be spawned really close to each other. The reason behind the rounded edges is that there won’t be akward edges when you fire alot of them while rotating quickly.
Our option state was supposed to be able to do following things: switch between different control-types in game (since we want the player to be able to choose between rotating around the middle and completely […]

University Projects: That Bothersome .txt
Hello everyone, today I’m going to talk about more level design and especially polishing of levels. As our editor cannot load already finished text docs, we need to manage all editing of the levels by hand, by going into text files and changing small, small details such as coordinates.
But to find what I need to edit I need to run the level and playtest the game, find where something is wrong and then enter either photoshop or the editor and […]

Post-Beta – Terminal Game
This Week
This week has been all about polishing, balancing, play-testing and implementing the last promised features of our game. The game is shaping up to be exactly what we set out to do, which gives me that fuzzy feeling of accomplishment, and pride for my group’s accomplishments as well.
The group has been hard at work finishing up the small projects (such as GUI graphics, additional content of the level and graphical errors) that was put on hold in favor of […]

2014-03-20 Sixth artifact
Hi
This week I have been continuing my work with the menues both graphically and codewise.
Our start menu that I drew all the sprites for, except the moon a bit to the left.
When it comes to the code I focused on the function that would switch from the Start menu to the How to play screen. In theory it would be really simple – when choosing How to play it would only replace the Startmenu-options sprite to the How to […]

Week 8: The week before final
Stressful? Not at all! I’m just chillin, sweating… crying..
Planning for the final
We had a discussion about how to proceed from here. The lead programmer told me that there is a lot of artifacts they don’t have the time to implement, we have to concentrate on the core features before anything else. So we needed to throw some stuff away, I read through the plans for this week and erased the tasks that we didn’t have time to implement.
Now that the artist don’t have […]

10 Week Project – Post 6 – Interior Decorating
As we are closing in on the final days of this project I, as the designer, have not had too much to design lately. So most of my time was supposed to be dedicated to playtesting, but since we bumped into some code-related problems, we needed to wait a bit with that.
So, what can I do while our lovely programmers are coding away?
Most of the feedback we received during the latest playtesting (a part from a few bugs) was that […]

Week 9
Now the final stretch is getting closer! The work I do now mostly contain of polishing the animations that we already have and adding smaller feedback effects, but there are always unexpected problems that need fixing! For this week’s blog post I have chosen to write about the work I have done on the game space.
Working on the game space has been an on and off process during most of this project, there has been a lot of iterations and […]
