The end of the first half-term

Glad sjö
Sorglig sjö
Solen skiner
Jorden brinner
Slut på haikun kommer nu.
Just a useless piece of haiku I made up on my way to the campus one day. It doesn’t even follow the established structure of a haiku rhyme.
Anyway, the first half-term is over now, and with it the two first courses, Introduction to Game Analysis and Design and the Swedish Communication Course.
The Swedish Communication Course ended with the fourth assignment,
* to give a speech on a freely chosen topic (in Swedish)

Week 9: Completion of Space Shooter Project

This week we have finally completed the space shooter project. All in all, the week has been pretty uneventful. Most of the time has gone to working on the pitch, where we would show off our work and try to sell it to our classmates, as they are the ones who will decide which games to actually develop later on. Our pitch I felt was quite successful. Other than that, work went into the One Page and Concept Document. On […]

The picture is absolutely massive.
This is the last day of the project, and it feels good. We have handed in our one page design and our concept document, and I have also handed in my personal project report. So everything’s done! What a trip it was.
Overall I’m pleased with my contribution to this project. I have drawn a lot during the past few […]

Pitch

After a tragic first pitch rehearsal and a construktive second pitch rehearsal the real pitch was today and I definitely think it was a success. The audience seemed to understand how the game would work and the presentation was well recived, tho I was hoping for more comments regarding gameplay. What they liked and disliked about it. Instead most of the discussion afterwards was regarding how PC it was to have characters from the fitness subculture and characters from the nerd subculture dislike […]
