I didn’t give much thought to the lines of a drawing before. It was always something so simple and unimportant in my head ‘Colors make a picture’, ‘Who needs lines anyway?’. However, one of our teachers (Leo), told us to keep them in mind, that lines do make a picture too, thickness can create depth and so on. I could see his point, but I never fully understood the actual impact this has in our art until now.

Harpoon

Sprint 3 – scrum-ing

Hi,
In order to continue with our project of designing game concept in an agile way, we had a sprint planning at the beginning of the week.

Sprint planning is a tool for agile scrum method, in which a project owner, together with scrum master and development team, decides about features they shall develop through the upcoming week. Those features are taken from a product backlog and considered as primary features that have the highest priority in given time.

Music for a Mist-Shrouded Mystery

Umibozu is set in an undisclosed location in waters surrounding Japan, and part of the aesthetic goal is the idea of approaching something mysterious. While interpreting the game design and adapting to its development, our team decided to focus the entire experience towards the idea of presenting it as a mystery shoot ’em up game.
Music (and sound in general) plays a vital role in influencing emotion and immersion when it comes to any form of entertainment medium, be it games, […]

Excuse the mess

On Monday we had our sprint planning meeting during which i decided I will be focusing on the menu background and the starting place of […]
