What will happen to this blog now that the Jam is over? Will I just lay down and forget about it? Will I leave it be til next years Jam? Will I start writing about the weather? Or will I still update it with posts related to games?
As much as the weather here in Denmark could be fun, it’s to much rain to actually make it interesting. I would love to be able to continue to write about games. And as I process trough the Game Technology track here at ITU there will be a lot of opportunities to write interesting posts. Maybe even a game review or two? Of course the blog will be less active than during the Jam, possibly down to one or two posts a week. I hope I manage to keep you reading!
Now, on to what is happening: The semester is turning into a busy one. I’m taking Intelligent Systems Programming, Persuasive and Serious Games, and Game Development. (In the two latter we are expected to make a game) In addition to this I’m participating in 3D Game Art, and we will, of course, continue the work on Mussades. Finally, I’ll be doing some work for PAXEL123 on the side.
The game for Persuasive and Serious Games is the only one we have actually started work on thus far. I’ve again teamed up with Simon (From Mussades) and Simon (From our PVP project last year), along with Edda and Casper who I haven’t worked with previously. We are doing a project on piracy; More accurately, piracy and how it affects the music industry. Although we do have our own opinions on the subject, we are trying to keep a neutral focus. The player will be allowed to face the pirates as a new band, and have to make choices in regards to that. So far it seems that the “With or against”-choice is the most important one, where piracy can be both a good thing and a bad thing. It’s a subject I am engaged in, and I’m really looking forwards to working with it.
So, I hope you enjoy your stay here. I know I will. (And I really should start taking pictures. Such long text often tend to become boring. tl;dr )
