Space Shooter
Today we had our first ”official” meeting as a team working on our Space Shooter project. It’s me, and five other people. The project is to design a space shooter around two words that were randomly chosen for us. The two words we got were Dia de los Muertos and snacks. The definition of space shooter is very loose here, basically it’s a 2D game without gravity and with some type of projectiles.
So far we’ve established the roles within the […]

Suit and Telephone
For our next project we were assigned to make a space shooter game in five weeks. More or less.
We have the restrictions that the game must fulfill which is as follows;
No Gravity. The game shall not contain elements that an additional force needs to be programmed. So jumping can’t be a feature in the game, yet walking up and down is allowed.
The game needs to be played on PC.
It needs to have 2D Graphics.
Can be produced within 10 weeks.
The game […]

Art Time!
Today I have been drawing all day! While listening to 80’s, Hans Zimmer and Disney soundtrack these three drawings occured 🙂 The music really seems to inspire me in many different ways.
Concept challenge: Arkan Rise
Last week we got a concept challenge. We had to go to a random character generator and create a concept for a game from that.
We used ”They fight crime” to generate ours.
“He’s a suicidal devious master criminal with no name. She’s a wealthy gold-digging femme fatale from aristocratic European stock.”
Starting out with an idea. We got the idea of a steampunk world for these characters and started building our story from there.
At first we needed to […]

Essay assignment: Impending Doom
Two weeks ago we received our first proper writing assignment in the game analysis course. We were to hand in an essay on a game concept with the theme “Impending Doom”.
This is how the assignment was explained to us:
Our essay had to include descriptions of gameplay and setting.
We had to explain our design decisions and why we thought those were the best.
The essay should focus on gameplay and how the sense of impeding doom was conveyed, not narrative or background.
We had […]

Dragons and oscilloscopes
Hello again..
I have realized something during the past four weeks, I forgot to blog. While it’s not my favorite thing, I will try my best to post as frequently as possible.
For the next five weeks I’ll be working on a project with five people on designing a space shooter. In my opinion, it should be the best part of the course. Two words were given to us to determine the theme and we got dragons and oscilloscopes. Yes, this is […]

Space shooter concept- First meetings
This is my first real blog post ever and it will be short. Hopefully I will write better and more relevant post as I progress and have more to say about my work.
On Wednesday the 8th we had our first group meeting. In this meeting we introduced us to each other and then began to throwing out ideas to see what would stick, to get a sense of what we could do for our project. Our assignment is to make […]

Reverse engineering workshop: Paper Hero
Two and a half weeks ago we had the Reverse Engineering workshop with Adam Mayes. The main take-aways from this workshop for me were:
– Deconstructing a game.
– Practicing paper prototyping.
As with the Ernest Adams-workshop, this one started out with a presentation about the assignment and the subject in general. We got a short introduction to reverse enginering that amongst other brought up that:
Reverse engineering means breaking down a system to it’s building blocks.
Reverse engineering can be used to model the core […]
