Very interesting post! I like how you first start by explaining what you have been working on, and why you did so. Getting a little bit of background concerning your game and how the fog needs to be implemented helps to understand the different aesthetics choices you go for.
While it is nice that you show different type of fog with an explanation added to them. I find it sad that there is at no point a picture of […]

Hi Matthias! Since I am also the lead sound of my group I can relate to your post a lot. I too had some experience with playing certain instruments (not 10 years of classic music like you, but still), and had to basically learn how to create sound effects on my own. I like how the process you developed is very similar to mine. I too look for sounds that have the right dynamics and then add appropriate […]

Hey Basil, it’s Guy, let’s analyze your post.
Firstly, I’d just like to say that your post was very easy to read, nothing seemed to drag on pointlessly and all of the points raised were good. That said, a lot of the English was kind-of off, which is understandable after all, but could be quite jarring when reading an otherwise well-written post and then suddenly stopping in my tracks when a mistake catches my eye. But again, it’s understandable.
Another interesting thing […]

Comment for assignment (4th comment)

In your blog you take care of explaining how your game works before going onto level design which I think is great. Makes it easier to figure out the issues you had and how you solved them. One thing that would have helped a lot would be pictures. Even though you did a great job explaining which enemies you had and that the setting was in the forest.
Without a picture it’s hard for me to understand precisely how the level […]

”Hello Kaijun,
Your blog-post was quite interesting as you showcased a lot of different aspects of the latest enemy in your game. Some of these aspects that were interesting to me were for instance, how you spawned the enemy and that you had several different spawn points that were randomized, how you designed the enemy to stop firing after it reached the other side of the player and the reason behind those aspects. In addition to this, I think […]

Major Game Design

I am studying game design at Uppsala Universitet, Campus Gotland. That is, I am majoring in game design, with a minor in project management. There are three other minors available: Graphics, Programming and Design. It turns out though, that the majority of project work within the education is focused on you applying the skills of your minor and not so much on being a game designer. This can lead to problems during said project work, especially for people studying project […]

Comment #4: Nicklas Rosén

Hello Ni[c]klas,
This is quite a good post that you have written. You thoroughly describe and analyze the motivational problem within your group that you chose as the topic for this blog post. It is also a positive that you included your role in the circumstances.
The explanation of your efforts to solve your group’s problem also is clear and informative. It reveals some of what you learned from these experiences and could be helpful to others in similar situations who may […]

Blog Post 3. Scrum.

Working with Scrum has been interesting. There have definitely been some benefits. Having meetings at the start and end of each week has been helped provide some insight into every members work, which has often led us to change the prioritization of certain assets. For instance we new the first presentation was coming up and since it was clear that animations where far from finished we decided to focus on creating new parallax layers and overall game play. The sprint […]

This is a comment I left on another student’s blog.

Hello Emile,
I found your blog post on the design of the boss encounter in your game interesting to read.
The description of the encounter is easy to follow, and it is clear what you have created. You give a good explanation of the different mechanics and what dynamics you were hoping to produce.
What I am missing in this post is the justification for designing the encounter like […]

Hi!
Interesting post you got here. I also think placing obstacles in the players way is an effective way of telling them to either move or get stuck. A question I have though is if you tell the player which controls to use for movement, or if that is something they have to discover by trial and error? Also, do the game move upwards automatically or by player movement? You mention that a player who fails the first challenge […]

Hey Samuel,
I think you accurately describe what you have been working on and how you went about it. For the part concerning what you have been working on, I particularly liked how detailed it is, i.e. everything from explaining what white noise is and how it is useful in creating windy sounds – to explaining what can be observed from the frequency bands. The images of the ‘noise’-frequencies is also a great way of explaining what white […]

Your blog post gives the reader a good over view of what you have been working on this week. It is clear for the reader that you have been working on the checkpoints and that you have had problems whit it. It could have been good to write that you are making a game because of a school project.
You do write […]
