The team was really nice. The seniors helped us when we needed […]

Preparations for My First Game Jam
Quite unexpectedly, I got an email about an upcoming planned Game Jam event (as part of studies). After some investigation I learned:
a Game Jam is an event when game developers (designers, artists, programmers et al.) come together to create a playable game over a short span of time;
we will be divided into smaller groups of 5-6 people;
we will use Game Maker and have approx 6 hours to build the game;
the topic for the games will be announced at the start […]

Impending Doom
My idea for an Impending Doom would be the following…
What is Impending Doom?
Impending doom is a apprehension, a feeling that something bad is about to happen. In this case, in a video game.
The Setting
The game takes place in a dark, seemingly abandoned castle. When player starts his journey, and he will soon find out that this isn’t an ordinarily castle, but a cursed one when he sees magic portraits on the walls (this is an optional section where the player […]

Week 5.
Week five was a somewhat slow week. With Adam not present and our communications-course on hold, we were given a challenge to create a finished concept-document based on randomly generated story and characters for our introductory game design course.
We made a team of 6 people, and set to work over the course of 2 days to do the assignment. I kept a developer diary on what everyone was doing, our more skilled graphical artists made art for our different characters […]

Tetris – the board game
Click to view slideshow.
In an assignment to redesign a real time digital game into a board game in a day, our group decided on Tetris.
Some changes needed to made to fully adapt the experience of Tetris into a board game. It is for example not possible to in a good way remove full lines and move down the above blocks, therefor we decided that they would stack and the score was determined by the amount of filled lines they […]
