My first month in Uni

Hey my names is Arvids and this is first of many more to come game development blogs. So basically the first month is over and I feel happy with my choice. I have learned a lot of new stuff in a short period of time and it is only the beginning but I am in for the whole ride. In Game Dev 101 I polished a few basic skills I already had like keyboard shortcuts and searching in google, but then I learned a lot of new cool things like recording gameplay, making gifs and how to legally zip or unzip files instead of closing those annoying expiry notifications. But what I find the most important thing is that my lecturer made me start to think in a higher level and to look outside of the box for solutions to the problems I am going to encounter during the rest of my study. If that does not do the trick then there is always google who has your back!

Thanks for reading!

1) Point at stuff

2) Set aims on stuff

3) Murderate stuff

So I spent last week storyboarding some of the basic ways the Wanderer and Beast must collaborate when exploring their environment Beast Tug Preeetty self explanatory, I think it’d be a lot of fun to have certain objects or obstacles that are too heavy for the Wanderer to handle on his own. Enter the Beast Tug! It’s like... Link’s Power Glove...If Epona was helping him push blocks... or something

So I spent last week storyboarding some of the basic ways the Wanderer and Beast must collaborate when exploring their environment Threats This is one of those that I think will really make the Beast feel unique and alive.... The Beast can become threatened by things or creatures in his environment, the Wanderer must handle these threats in order for the Beast to carry on.

So I spent last week storyboarding some of the basic ways the Wanderer and Beast must collaborate when exploring their environment Track Scent This is one of my personal favorites, the Beast can track the scent of certain items and lead the Wanderer towards creatures, enemies, people...or piles of poop :P
