Game Design Final Week – Post Mortem

We are finally here. Our first digital game project has been completed, and I think this has been a good learning experience for all groups in some way or another. I must say that I had the luck of getting a very well functioning group for this course, all members worked well together and we […]

Game Design Week 7 – Player Feedback

During our development process of Depth, two play testing sessions have been organized for all students partaking in the course, the first one was held after the alpha deadline, and the second one after the beta deadline.

Game Design Week 6 – Making Stones.

Well, here goes. My first blog post about stones, the world’s most interesting topic.

Game Design Week 3 – The Making of a Jellyfish

For my group Troll’s project – developing our take on the game concept Depth – I have this week been working on, among other things, the swimming animation of a jellyfish.
