Gotland Game Jam 2010

This weekend me and a couple of friends attended Gotland Game Jam. (A Game Jam is an event where you are to create a game in a very short time, often following certain rules and trying to fit one or several pre-decided themes or achievments into the game.)

In no more than 42 hours my group created the game Hyper & Death Robot: Escape from Megastorm Asylum and our game was voted the highest score of all participants!

Our awesome team consisted of me and Jonathan Nilsson on graphics and Fredrik Nes Sjödin and Jerry Jonsson on programming. The restrictions was to only use colors from a color chart given at the start of the event and to only use sounds recorded from our own bodies. From the list of achievments to include we picked:

Aural Interface - Have all your graphical user interface feedback be sounds (no visuals)

Blessed is the mind too small for doubt - Make it part of your game to figure out how the game is lying about the games rules

The Level Of Awesomeness - Let the player be awesome in the game and be able to messure it

Here is some art (and do keep in mind the entire game is made from scratch in less than two days) and here is a link to the actual game. (The game is in Swedish though.)

COW #195

The Gallagian grelmaga has an intricate system of bladders where it stores cool water from the surface, the water is then being pumped through its body by a secondary heart. This enables the grelmaga to keep its temperature at an even level when the creature is submerging in the geysers to feed. Their diet consist of a special type of algae that thrives in the hot boiling waters near the underwater geysers. Their huge snouts filled with teeth are used to fight off rivals and defend themself against enemies. The most spectacular thing about this species is that their young are bleak and colorless but after years of swimming in the hot geysers their skin becomes covered with a thick plaque of bacterias that will give them the most spectacular colors. Really old specimen are displaying insane patterns of colors. Fortunate for the grelmaga these bacterial coats will dry up and fall off when the animal no longer swims in the geysers, if it werent for that fact they would most likely be extinct due to trophy hunters.

3D

We have started doing 3D and it's really hard!

When it comes to 2D, well everyone knows what a pen is and how it works and everyone can draw even tho the results might be very varied. With 3D it's like learning a completely new way of thinking and I've lost count on how many times I've ruined my models and have had to trash them. Thankfully Fred from Trash Talk is helping me out, if it weren't for him I'd probably thrown the computer out the window long time ago...

I don't have anything to show just yet and I'm kinda letting this take priority over other assignments and that's maybe not the smartest thing but I have to figure it out or it will drive me mad!

COW#194

Not that happy with it, too little time to finish strong. The head is nice atleast...

These highly sought after creatures are hard to breed in captivity and the few times one is for sale it usually leads to bidding wars and insane prices. This because their appearance is considered beautiful by the majority of the Intergalactic Special Committee of Beauty. They are always represented in the finals of the prestigious intergalactic pet shows and some people will do just about anything to be the proud owner of one of them. This is also the main reason why the ISCoB now require all naragas to be DNA-chipped and UPS-registered, to stop the stealings, kidnappings and murders.

Ragedragon

Quick doodle of green ragedragon, 30 min or so.

(It might not look so raging and it is not, it is infact feeding on rage making it fatter and happier the more people rage..or something)
