Postmortem

During this course, me and my group made a swamp version of the game Umibozu. The finished product turned out well but could be better if some major bugs were fixed.
As mentioned before the end result of the game turned out well. We had a working product, but it did have some bugs. The main mechanics of the game was to move around in the environment while killing enemies in your path. The main goal of the game was to […]

Shoot em Up Project Finale – A conclusion and a PM

This course has been a great opportunity for hands-on learning when it comes to what an actual game project might contain. It’s been full of challenges and surprises, but in the end I am quite pleased with my contribution to what eventually became our game; Aetherial by Team Kraken.
The game is a 2D side-scrolling shoot em up game in which the player takes control of a futuristic skyship in order to hunt down a huge, flying skywhale. The player can […]

Depth – postmortem

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Welcome to the last blog post assigned to me by school. It is so bittersweet :’-)
In this post I am meant to write a postmortem of my groups now finally (!) finished game. I will discuss what went right, what went wrong, and then close with a conclusion, but I will start with a brief description of the product we ended up with.
Depth is a platform shoot ‘em up, where you play as a research submarine escaping a long and […]

2018.03.18 – A SHMUP Postmortem

Over the course of the last 10 weeks, we -my team and I- have developed a game concept entitled “You May Kiss The Bride”, abbreviated as YMKTB, in the context of our second semester “Game Design 2: Game Development” module (course code:5SD064). The concept was created by a group of fellow students during our first semester’s “Game Design 1: Introduction” module (course code: 5SD065).
In this postmortem blog post, I will be going over the highlights, both good and bad, of […]

5SD064-Postmortem of final result

Yeah!! Finally I had successfully made the game Umibozu with 2 months hard work of me and my other 5 group members. I am personally pretty satisfied with the outcome of the game as it is the very first game I’ve ever made and it’s playable(for 6 minutes long!!) At the final playtesting day we have received all kinds of feedback from our classmates and a lot of them are positive regarding aesthetics of the game, especially compliment to the art […]

Postmortem – blog 6

We made it! During a 10-weeks course, group Kraken built a shoot ‘em up game that works! The game has a tutorial scene, two different scenes of gameplay and a final scene when the player meets the boss in a final epic fight. We have a power up that finally works (!) and two different enemies with attacks and movement patterns that makes them very different from each other. Our boss enemy has three different attacks. I am proud of […]

Blog 6: Postmortem – Beelonging

So, the development of the game Beelonging is now over, and it’s time to evaluate and reflect on the results. It’s been 9 intense weeks with a lot of hard work, long days at school and work during weekends, but I think the end result is also really good.
The end result
Beelonging is a 2D side scroller game with an infinitive scrolling, parallax background. The final version has five different character types; the bees, the wasps, the flies, the dragonflies and […]

I liked your text because you didn’t just sugarcoat your work progress, you made sure to bring up both the good and the bad. You seemed to be very aware of your groups progress. You brought up the pros and the cons from your development. With scrum you could keep an eye every group members progress and check the different tasks and keep them in the time schedule, to get them done in time. It is always easy to […]

Well, what has this project been about? What am I talking about, what project?
In my previous blogs I have been talking about how my group and I have been working on making […]

Blog Post 6 – Postmortem

The game is finally done! After 10 weeks of work we have created our first game as a group. To start this off I want to talk about why we chose to create a game based of the umibozu concept document. I really liked the aesthetic goal of umibozu. Mystery and excitement is very interesting. Our group felt like this was the concept that we could build upon. Our artists liked the style, the programming would not be too hard, […]

Depth : Post Mortem

In the context of the course “Game Design 2 : Game development”, my group, Team T, made “Depth”, which you can find here. In the game design document we received, Depth was supposed to be a side-scrolling shoot’em’up in which a monster (which is faster than you) follows you. The mandatory pick-up was supposed to make the player go faster. The player’s flashlight would make the monster fall back and leave some time for the player to breathe. The […]

Post Mortem ; Teamp flytrap’s Umibozu

We been working with the game concept Umibozu for now two months and much has happened during the development of it. We have both had ups and downs during this period but we have pushed through and managed to make a game. A playable one at that. I am happy and proud of this simple fact because this is my first game and the first game for the rest of my team aswell.
I have learnt a lot in a very […]
