Symbiosis Week 2 – Planning and building
To say that it’s only the second week I work on this would be a lie. I have worked on the concept and idea for this game for about four months. But it is only two weeks of having a full team and beginning to build this game.
This is the last course of year two at Uppsala University and will span 8 weeks of development before the exhibition of Gotland Game Conference.

Big Game Project
I am currently involved in a video game project in the course Big Game Project at Uppsala University – Campus Gotland. I am working in a team of seven members and we are creating a game called The Runes of Kalevala which is based on the Finnish folklore Kalevala. I am the producer in the team, which means that I (among other things) will be in charge of the project planning. Since the team is producing the game by using the […]

Synapse – A Big Game Project – First Post
Well then, I’m back to my old blog again. I will be doing posts every week from this day forward, to the end of May.
I’m now reading the last course of the second year of Game Design in Campus Gotland, the Big Game Project. This is the examination course of this year, where teams of between 5-9 members will be working on a two-month game project, similar to the previous year’s course during the same period, Theme Park.

Big Game: Week 2
For the second week, I started working on the base meshes of the enemies and traps. I also had to do some concept art, since we hadn’t completely decided what they should look like. I also put quite a lot of time into creating working prefabs for each mesh.
Here’s some concepts I did, which we decided to use:
Above is the flying enemy to the left and the shooting enemy to the right. The flying enemy won’t have a […]

Art Fusion
As the art director for our big game project The Runes Of Kalevala, I recently started working on an internal art direction document.
Before the course started I was approached by our game designer, and was asked to collaborate on a project with him. The designer wanted me to develop an art style that was representative for the project he was working on. The project was presented to me as a draft of a concept document which featured finish mythology.
I was […]

Big Game Project: Week 1
Two weeks ago, the Big Game Project (Stora spelprojektet) course started. This course is the last one in my two years’ game design and programming education. It is also one of the landmarks of this study program since the games produced by students in this course will be presented at the GGC (Gotland Game Conference) where also the best games will be selected by voting.
In this eight-week period I’ll be working as a programmer for Nayomi’s group. Our game called “Kei” […]

Designing UI
This last week I’ve been working on our games UI layout and design. This has proven to be a real challenge. While our game isn’t a true real time strategy game it does have elements from one, this lead to there being a lot of information that need to be shown on screen. Below is a screenshot from our prototype.
This is the current layout. The left display features information about the currently selected settler. A portrait, health and hunger bar, […]

Runes of Kalevala – Splitting the screen
Runes of Kalevala is a game that I have been working on together with the rest of Tasteful Games: Filip Frandsen, Anders Hagström, Thom Hujanen, Sebastian Ringvol, Tara Sundström and Erik Ögren.
It is a 2D game made in Unity with a focus on cooperative gameplay with action, platforming and exploration. For the vertical slice we are developing the Big Game course we have decided to focus on making the game for two players […]

The Runes of Kalevala – Developer’s blog
I know, I’m a terrible blogger, maybe I’m too old to get into the groove of putting my thoughts out into cyberspace every week.
Tasteful Games, the startup that I’ve been a part of for a year now is finally ready to begin work on a project we’re actually looking to bring to market. Being students we’ve had the privilege of slowly learning our craft and testing the waters for 2 years before going at it for real.
The game we’re making […]

Project Neiva Week 2
Hello Again Readers!
Now the second week of development has passed and we have already got some great progress. The week started with a weekly sprint. Where we set up the goal with what we wanted to have in game before the week was done. As level designer my task was to create some test levels and some basic challenges for each of our different souls that our main character uses to teleport around.
The projectiles that Neiva has is the standard […]
