Just beware of becoming addicted to those sorts of free-to-play games in case you end up going down the wormhole of in-app purchases. If you want to be thrifty, there’s always Bejeweled and Candy Crush. Spending a small amount of money on these sorts of games is ideal, especially if you’re constantly commuting or spending a large chunk of your time travelling. But it’s also a genius app, as it grapples with the topic of internet snooping in a far more compelling way than most of those long think-pieces you’ve saved in your phone’s web browser. It’s tremendously satisfying just to hear the old sounds from the days of dial-up internet. You play as an American spy, tapping into the communication of foreign-sounding citizens through a series of increasingly difficult visual puzzles. This is an intriguing, thoughtful game for our cybersecurity-crazy modern world. Tiny Wings is my favourite of the bunch, with calming music transferring you to a state of nirvana, even when someone launches their shoulder bag – entirely by accident of course – into your back.Īlto’s Adventure is also a relaxing alternative as you control a guy jumping between ski slopes, whereas Gravity Guy uses retro music to make you flip the character between running with or against gravity. Each, though, comes with its own unique twist. I’m unfairly lumping all three of these wonders together here, because each is a side-scrolling “endless runner” – a game that involves tapping an auto-travelling character to avoid obstacles and continue “running”. Tiny Wings, Gravity Guy and Alto’s Adventure However, it’s rewarding once you do master your reflexes and manual dexterity. It’s the complete opposite of Threes!, in that you have to act fast and drop the seeds, flowers and bees to the right pot in your window. Meshes with vertex colors instead of textures then some parts of this series of articles may not apply.Now here’s something that will keep you in touch with nature when you never get to absorb any of it. If you are using a custom voxel engine or want to export your Our Pipelineīesides Qubicle we used Photoshop for everything related to texturing, Maya for rigging/animation and Unity for game development.įor our game we decided to use the most common approach and export all our models as textured meshes. So it looks rather like the tower and the world is rotating right beneath his feet. The kicker of this game idea is the camera which remains fixed on the heroĮven when he is jumping around the tower. Of a tower? To give this a modern twist we decided to add a little gravity and an unusual perspective: a hero with gravity boots who runs straight up the towerĪnd who can jump from one side of the tower to the other. And what is more retro than the hero who saves the princess from a dungeon on top School pixel-art games, so the decision to do something retro was quickly made. The Gameĭue to the limited time we had to create the game - roughly 10 weeks - we were focusing on a simple game idea that should run on mobile devices. Our last team member Tobi - who normally pre-develops new features for Qubicle - wrote control scripts for Unity. Patrick was responsible for rigging and animation in Maya and prepared the game assets for Unity.Ĭhristian made most of the voxel models and designed the user interface as well as the game’s logo. They already knew about Qubicle but had never used it before. They both did an internship here at Minddesk for about 18 weeks and this Patrick and Christian know each other and have collaborated together for quite a long time. His job on this game was mainly management and teaching the basics of Qubicle. Tim is Minddesk’s lead developer and the driving force behind Qubicle. Our university’s main focus is 3D modeling, animation, compositing and in recent years, game development. We are 4 guys who all studied media design here in Hanover. It’s not the way to do it, just one that worked amazingly ![]() The following documentation will show you our pipeline. Unfortunately time ran out too soon, but we were able to set-up and testĮvery required step (except for sound design). It’s not finished yet - and probably never will be. And while we were at it we wanted to document our pipeline and all the steps to give you a good overview of how you can The experiences made in the process should help us find Game design we thought it might be a good idea to set-up and test a game development pipeline ourselves. We don’t plan on becoming a game developer anytime soon. Our main job at Minddesk is to develop our voxel editor, Qubicle.
