Week 2 of BGP

Last week was the second week of Big game Project, I thought I would get more work done this week, but time sure flies.
During last week I mainly worked on the animations but also managed to create two props.
The props I created was two bushes, I created them by using the same method I used for the tree crowns, I didn’t come across any problems so creating them went smoothly.

What I spent most of  my time […]

Big Game Project – Week 2

Yesterday I felt like I had stayed up completely too long and screwed over my sleep schedule again, it was 9 pm. This week has been so crazy that when it’s finally weekend I have too much time.
We had a deadline this week to have our first playable prototype ready by Friday. This ended up with us working until 2 AM the day before, but we got a lot of stuff done.
Teodor was sitting with most of the week with […]

Diary of a Producer (Week 2)

Another week has passed and it feels as though I have been everywhere and nowhere. I have done changes in the design and written them down so that the team can see what these different things is supposed to do. Of course it is difficult to keep the design document alive as the design changes and it does take a lot of time to keep it up-to-date. I have also been writing in our production blog that you can find […]

Big Game Project: Week 1

I’m working together with my team “Parhelion“ to create a vertical slice of a game in ten weeks for our “Big Game  Project” course . The game we are going to work on is Temple of light. Temple of light is a first person puzzle game where the player has to arrange mirrors to guide the light to reach a target, while also looking out for environmental hazards like traps, moving platforms and bottomless pits.  The game will be […]

This will be my first blog post as the Art director in the group Sneaky Ninja. We was one of the latest groups to be created so we have had one week less to work than most groups.
Despite that we have had a very productive first week and I will cover the major art related problems we solved.
We had a small meeting on Sunday the 6th of April where we talked about the concept and discussed ideas. We started working the […]

Big Game Project Weekly Roundup: April 7-11

My first, real week of the Big Game Project is now finished. From now on, I  will blog at least once a week, and do some weekly roundup on what happened during the week.
April 7-9: Talking to my teachers about what to doI spent the first three days of this week talking to my teachers about what I should do during the course since I was the last man standing while every other Big Game Group was filled. In the […]

Network – >.<

Network is both fun and frustrating. This week I continued working with the networking code, the problem however is that it is going slow. You need go about coding in a bit different way than you do when  you code otherwise. Because when you code for singleplayer you don’t have to take into consideration what happens to the object when other people see it. In a network however you need to send the location of your player to the others, […]

First week is done!

The first week has gone by quickly, and we are ahead of schedule 🙂
I started out the week by creating a character that was moveable by using an xbox controller, unity had scripts for moving the character, but unfortunately they were written in java (therefor non-compatible with c# scripts which we are using) and they  did not support did xbox controller, so I had to re-do them from scratch.
When I was done with the controllers, I unfortunately started working with features […]

The work has went pretty well and today we had three levels that where playable. We had a play test today where the entire group played the levels and then commented on what they liked and didn’t like […]
