University of Skövde - Game Development program

Eddie Dexx — Sun, 15 Sep 2019 11:56:42 +0000

As mentioned in an earlier announcement, I'd enrolled for the Game Development program with specialization of Game Programming. It has now gone a couple of weeks and it has been a really awesome time with many wonderful new people I've met and got to know. I can already feel how this future game development studio and future company of mine is starting to materialize.

At start we got two courses running parallell with each other. Programming Methodology and Game Analysis. After these two courses are done, it will be time for two other courses during the second half of this semester. Computer Graphics and Game Programming. After that, when the next semester begins, it will be time for our first game Project where we will be grouped with the other specializations (Game Design, Game Writing, Graphics/Animation artists and Sound/Music).

I do look forward to this, to work with other people!

Yes, you heard right! I got good news! A couple of days ago I checked my application and I saw that I was enrolled for Game Dev. - Programming! I never thought I would manage to get a spot since the competition for the programs related to game development are very high. I have no idea if this is just pure luck or fate but whatever it is, I can start my game development career for realz from September 2! Also I can officially announce Dexx Developments as a real game development team! However, one-manned right now but I do suspect I will get more people in my team within a foreseable future!

The first ever game released!

The first ever game from Dexx Development is made! It's a browser based BlackJack game that I hope you'll enjoy! I made it during last weekend and fine attuned it the last couple of days, fixing simple bugs and that stuff!

This game is programmed in JavaScript, vanilla JavaScript (i.e. no jQuery, Ajax and/or AngularJS) to be clear. Combined with HTML coding as well as CSS stylsheet. I will try to create more (simple) games over the course of the year just to make it an exercise to keep the programming skills up. Since I don't have a graphics artist and are atm a 1-person development team, I won't be able to make the complex games I want right now. I will however try to make more complex games when the time comes!

You may download this game (or clone it to your IDE like Visual Studio) from Dexx Development's Github repository:

or just download it from my OneDrive if you find GitHub too confusing:

Have fun and please give me some feedback while you're at it! :D

Welcome to Dexx Developments!

This will be my future game development company, but the story will start now!

Please do follow the discussions! I did post a discussion about a future Open World RPG that will be heavily inspired by the Elder Scrolls series. I'll need ideas! Bring ideas! It's always good to plan these things far ahead. Even though it will probably take years until we'll see that game surface.

I will spend day and night in learning programming as well game design theory and some graphics work too (but that part I'd rather let someone else do). When it comes to sound and music.. I'll probably kidnap Moa, the guitarist in Browsing Collection who's already done the game development - music in University College of Skövde (Högskolan i Skövde). The same university I'll be applying to this summer!
