All game projects were done cross diciplinary with Game artists, programmers and level designers, and the second year we also had the pleasure of working with technical artists. The projects used scrum as a frameword and each sprint were divided into Pre-Production, Alpha, Beta and Gold.
The first year we had a new group each time. The second year we had the same group the whole year. We also did all the second year games in our own engine "Yellowsnow".
Wizard Loaf - Project Group
This was my game project group the second year at The Game Assembly. We consist of 15 people. 4 game artists, 3 level designers, 6 programmers and 2 technical artists. The first 3 games on this page were made by us. The other 3 were done the first year where we had a new group for each project.

The idea emerged of an epic feud between Sweden and Denmark (IKEA vs Jysk) the two giants of furniture and pillows.
"As the company of Ikeja has been raided, the only hope left is Gunbritt, the senior cleaner who must save her beloved workplace from the danskjävlar."
For this project we decided to use a texture atlas for a lot of the assets in the game, and we also sticked to a more lowpoly style. This gave us the time to create a lot of props and really fast. I also gave us a lot of time to fucus on other aspects of the game and still have a very populated world.
My contributions to this project consisted primarily of:
The teachers had set an art style for this project which was was Heroes of the storm, and the reference game for gameplay and metrics was Diablo 3. We also got a theme for our game that had the title "North" which was inspired by the viking era and some dwarven type architecture. We had to make a highpoly for every asset in ZBrush and we used Orbs ZBrushes to get a more similar look to Heroes of the Storm. We also had the chance to share assets between groups which resulted in more populated games, but we also had to tweak and add to those the assets to fit our theme.
This project was very interesting because the goal of it was to create a workflow that was more similar to how the industry works. We followed a styleguide for the game and a workflow guide for how the assets should be created.
My main contributions to this project consisted of:
Examples of some stuff i did:
This was our first full 3D game in our own engine.
My contributions to this project consisted primarily of:
This was a 8 week project making an adventure game inspired by the metrics and gameplay from Zelda a link to the past.
