University Work Examples.

Out of hiding...

I may have underestimated the amount of time uni/band and work would take up. A lot!

While I haven't been updating this blog, I have still been busy at work designing and starting the foundation of a indie studio that will take place once uni has finished.

During my absence I have made a thing or two, like Saldo.

Making Saldo at the Global Game Jam was an incredible experience. Not only was it great to apply what I've learnt over the past year, but I ended up wining the sound design award for Saldo.

Quite happy about that :)

Limbo

People really need to play Limbo.

It is such a shinning example of how mechanics can be introduced to the player, before they are required to be used. This combats the frustration that players would feel with the frequent deaths of the character.

Limbo, is also a good example of how audio can be used to create atmosphere in play. The lack of music and the subtle use of sound effects create a great tension and unsettlement in the game.

Setting those wheels in motion...

Well hi there. Yes, it’s another blog. Something else for you to sift through in the hopes of stumbling across some interesting or worthwhile information. Hopefully I can provide something along those lines... or at least entertain you.

I’m currently studying Games Design and honestly just want a place in which I can store my progress on any design projects that I work on, a place of reference, if you will. At this stage, I’m still making paper prototypes for two games that I am working on. One, being a music generating game the other an old school side scrolling shooter. Both are intended for the iOS platform.

While this first post is just static text, I’ll try get up some pictures of anything that I am currently working on.

Cheers,

Trev.
