Leon is split into pieces!!

So we made a really ballsy decision last week, considering it’s very close to GGC. We made the decision to split Olivias plushie, Leon, into different pieces that the player could then find throughout the game. The reason we did this, was that we did not really feel like we gave the player any motivation […]

Music and sound effects

Music and sound effects are a big part of Somnium, that is really important to convey our aesthetic goal to the audience. For example, in order to create the specific music and ambient sound, we have had the great opportunity to be in contact with a student from the nearby “Tonsättarskolan” and had him develop […]

So I made a pause menu

Hi again, We desperately needed a pause menu, so I decided to make a simple one. Its only functionality is to have some settings in it, restart game, and resume game. The settings in the menu are there to switch between inverted and non inverted camera in the vertical and horizontal axis. The simple functionality […]

AI.. or a very simplified version of it

Hiya all! So we decided that we needed some sort of critters running around in our game looking dumb, and they needed some sort of AI.

HighScoreState

Hello, This week I’m trying to make the switch to English, since I’ve been been informed it gives the blog a more professional look. I’ve worked on a lot of different things this week, for example I started with improving the menu system early in the week, and then realizing we have not planned for […]

Code Review of team 5 Player class

The player class does not have any couplings except for the fact that it’s a child class of the IENTITY class, which contains only pure virutal functions. Therefore it’s hard to give any certain advice to reduce couplings. However the most of the code seems to be written in the main.cpp which has its pros […]
