Compost

2022-11-20T00:00:00+00:00

Compost played at ESG Spelklubb’s Play my Boardgame event.

A two player card game about recycling. Grow and throw vegetables into your compost pile while throwing nasty things like stones and cans into your opponents. Get help from critters and beetles to improve your soil! May the one with best garden soil in the end win.

Process

The game prototype started by scribbling and ripping out make shift cards from papers at the jam site.

First paper prototype made during day one of jam.

Last day of the jam art was generated using Stable Diffusion. To get consistent art style queries was given in form of “tomato drawn by Beatrix Potter”, “carrot drawn by Beatrix Potter” and so on.

Critters

Eggs in forest

Fallen leaves

Stones

Large tomato

Pile of vegetable scraps (a compost)

This posed some challenges as the AI did not know several words that where in the prototype, like beetroot, worm and even compost. The AI also gave some quite horrifying outputs.

Forest critters

More critters from hell

Attempt to make a worm via “segmented red snake”

Card layout was generated by LaTeX.

Print and play

The game can be printed and played.

Hi and welcome to the magic help desk

2021-04-10T00:00:00+00:00

In a world where magic is as normal and common as technology these days… Who takes care of the ordinary magic users?

How do you actually turn on a cloak of invisibility?
What happens if you swallow a love potion and look in the mirror?
Who would ever come up with the idea of putting a bag of holding in another bag of holding…?

One thing is certain – somehow it is your fault that the fire-demon has resistance to fire-magic, how could the adventurers know it?!

The adventures play as a team of underpaid support line employees for one of the biggest magic corporations and it is their job to make sure the spells and artifacts work as intended.

Magical problems require magical solutions

Bertil and Bodil’s Bizarre Adventure

2021-01-30T00:00:00+00:00

Render of Bertil and Bodil by Henrik Henriksson.

Bodil is stuck on a different planet, to which only Bertil has the map. To get back home again, Bodil needs to collect four warp cubes. One of these cubes are marked on Bertil’s map and the rest are marked on tiny cropped maps available to Bodil. To locate them all, the two need to communicate with each other. Luckily there are a lot of weird distinct landmarks around. Note that warp cubes are highly unstable so when collected, they will teleport Bodil to a random position on the map.

Warp cubes are hidden in the map.
Landscape is covered in strange landmarks.
Bodil has some clues to where warp cubes are hidden.
A strange and alien forest.
Bertil needs to find the way using a map.

The game is played in networkless co-op with two people on different computers. To play on the same map, they simply have to enter the same map name (seed) on setup.

Ingenjörsspelet

2020-02-11T00:00:00+00:00

Happy and slightly drunk players in action.

Ingenjörsspelet (The Engineer Game) is a card game developed for HiQ’s presence at the LARM 2020 job fair. The purpose of it was twofold; have a fun party for the students during evening and as a sneaky way to determine their knowledge level. Reasoning behind it is that in order to make jokes about Testing Frameworks, Lisp and Edge Computing you need to have an understanding about it.

Very early prototype. Had great success at East Sweden Game fika.

The game play can be described as a mix of Cards Against Humanity and Mad Scientist University. One player is the Product Owner and picks an assignment card. The other players take 3 solution cards. Using 2 of these cards the players should come up with the most entertaining solution to the assignment. Product Owner decides winner who keeps assignment card as score. Product Owner changes to person on right and a new round is started.

The card game was constructed in a few days using a card generator based upon LaTeX and Node.JS.

CatBoy

2017-05-07T00:00:00+00:00

A brand new console! CatBoy is a handheld cartridge based gaming system. Just plug in a 5v mobile phone charger and play! Different games can be loaded by inserting different cartridges and rebooting the console.

During Spring Game Jam 2017 I build a small handheld game console using an Arduino Esplora. The games can be loaded into SD-cards and inserted into the system. I developed 3 games in total for it, one for each game jam theme; Ice Space (Icecream Monsters), Town Defence (Pixel Erasers) and Shool Run (Highschool Race). I made my own sprite and game data format and that can be edited using a hex editor. Since the hardware was extremely limited draw optimization was important to even get a playable game running.

Tech specs

160 x 128 TFT LCD display
16 MHz 8-bit processor
32 KB Flash memory
Analog Joystick
Fire button
SD-card reader

Games

During the jam 3 games where developed, one for each theme.

School Run

Theme: Highschool Race

Help Cat Boy to get through school as fast as possible! Catch the highest grades and make sure to not fall to many classes!

Ice Kitten

Theme: Icecream monsters

Alien ice-creams are attacking the kitty planet! Shoot them down! Make sure to not crash into the enemies!

Town Defence

Theme: Pixel Erasers

Evil Pixel-Erasers are attacking Cat Boy’s town! Make sure they do not reach the ground by shooting them down!

Make your own games

It is possible to develop your own games for the CatBoy console. All you need is a SD-card reader. Cartridges should be FAT-32 formated SD-cards containing the following files. All files except splash.bmp are supposed to be edited with a hex editor.

palette.dat Palette used by the game. First 3 bytes are background color, follow are the different colors in RBG order.

enemy.dat & player.dat 8×8 sprite used by enemy or player. Number refers to color in palette.

game.dat Flags for game engine. Example from School Run
02 – Win condition
0F – Win condition value
00 – Loose condition
06 – Loose condition value
00 – Palette used for text in game
00 – Palette used for bullets in game. If 0 can not shoot
02 – Enemy speed
00 – Bullet speed
08 – Enemy spawn rate

splash.bmp A 24-bit 160×128 splash screen image for splash, victory and game over screen.

Road Doctor 2060

2017-04-21T00:00:00+00:00

4D cyberpunk motorcycle simulator for Samsung Gear VR. In Road Doctor 2060 the player takes the role of a “road doctor” living in Neo Tokyo. Goal is to drive the motorbike to the other side of the town where the president has damaged his pinky toe. The motorcycle is voice activated so the player needs to make motor sounds to accelerate. The theme for the game jam was “Emergency?” which we associated with time pressure, chaos, action and “hero saves the day“. The question mark indicates that the emergency might not be so serious after all. The game is made for Samsung GearVR and you sit on chairs configures like a motorcycle with an USB fan placed in front of you for speed-wind. During BOSS JAM 2017, a 40 hour Game Jam I lead a team consisting of two 3D artists, one technical artists and one other programmer. I did project lead, game logic and programming for the GearVR. Won second place at BOSS JAM 2017.

Logistic Design Competition 360° movie

2017-04-01T00:00:00+00:00

The Epic Hangover of the Wizard

2016-01-31T00:00:00+00:00

An asymmetrical 2-player coop game created during Global Gamejam 2016. A wizard wakes up from a hangover and needs to undo the summoning ritual he did while drunk. His magic talking wizard hat helps him close the portal to hell.

Manuals for the game (including tiny wizard hat)
Description on how to de-summon a monster.

The game is a point and click adventure game where puzzles are randomly generated on each restart. To help play the game there is two paper manuals; Wizardry 101 and a Futhark to Latin lexicon. There is also a tiny crocheted wizard hat prop the wizard-player should wear.

Theme

The theme for Global Game Jam 2016 was “Ritual”. From this we brainstormed forth a game idea where the played had to be guided by another player holding a demonic encyclopedia, containing information about the demons in the world. This later grew into The Epic Hangover of the Wizard. We used a couple of Diversifiers for this game.

No retreat, no surrender! The protagonist is unable to go anywhere but forward, in every situation.
One hand tied behind my back Create a game that can be played with only one hand. On mobile just one hand holding and playing at the same time i.e. just play with your thumb. Desktop, mouse only or keyboard only.
Companion screen The game uses a mobile device as an additional screen to show a different mode or portion of the game.
Common ground Make a co-op game playable by players who have very different levels of ability to each other.

Overview of My Game Modifications

2015-02-11T00:00:00+00:00

I have done several popular mods for the game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Fallout III and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. My focus is on small quite technically advanced mods – pushing the limits of what is possible with the modding tools. In most cases I have been the solo developer for the mod, doing everything from original idea, implementation, quality assurance, technical support and handling of user feedback.

My most well known mod is Enclave Commander for Fallout 3. This mod adds a fairly advanced squad system to the game, giving the player ability to call in soldiers, air strikes and much more.

It has been downloaded over 100.000 times, voted to File of the Month at Nexus January 2009 and even been featured on the developers own blog.

J3Xified Driveable Motorcycle for Fallout 3.

My second most popular Fallout 3 mod, Driveable Motorcycle was one of the few mods which added vehicles to the game. A game without any form of vehicle support nor easy access to the physics engine.

My Driveable Motorcycle mod closely follows Enclave Commander with 80.000 downloads. This one also got voted to File of the Month on Nexus June 2009 and featured on the developers own blog.

Flyable Broomstick for Skyrim

For Skyrim I want to feature two mods. First one is Flyable Broomstick. Just as with Fallout 3 you do not have access to the physic engine via modding tools and flying creatures you can ride on does not exist. I was the first one who managed to create a creature you could fly around on, with working collision detection. This mod has been downloaded around 88.000 times and features in a lot of Let’s Play Skyrim shows.

The second one is my Automatic Crossbow mod. Automatic Crossbows had been a very frequently requested mod for long. I managed through clever intercepting of animation calls overwrite the default behavior of a crossbow, allowing the modder to specify when to fire and when to reload. This mod has served as the basis for several other gun mods. A grand total of 137.000 unique users have downloaded this mod, and this is not counting the downloads of all other mods using the scripts from it.

Sightless

2015-01-25T00:00:00+00:00

The Human has been trapped…
Deep down under, in an ancient dungeon maze, dwells the spiritual beings “The Angel” and “The Devil”.
They have possessed each of the Human’s eyes, making their host blind and must therefore rely on the directions from these beings.

The Angel and the Devil are devious and dishonest by nature and only strive for their own success.
They gain power by collecting their symbols and from collecting certain coins.
The Angel desires holy blue coins, and the Devil yearns for cursed red coins.
All coins, but not symbols, are an advantage for the human but not to the same extent as the beings.

Crystal traps hurts the Human, but makes it possible for the beings to steal precious power from each other.

The Human must balance the desires of the Angel and the Devil, resulting in both of the beings leaving its host upon exit.
The only means to escape is the one ladder leading out.
However, if the human fails and one of the beings is overpowered on escape, it will take full control over the body and freely roam the world outside its dungeon.

The cave holds dangers and traps of its own, so the three characters must cooperate for the body and its inhabitants not to die.

Watch out…

Sightless was a game created during Global Gamejam 2015. The theme was the question “What do we do now“. We also managed to use a couple of Diversifiers.

Diversifiers used

Noise Generator:The mechanic of the game is based on players having to stay in constant communication with each other.

Can I Try?:Any spectator of the game automatically becomes a player as well.

Eagle Ear:The game is primarily visual, but is also playable by visually impaired players, either through audio design, or through a screenreader (VoiceOver, Talkback, JAWS etc).

How to play Sightless

Sightless require three players, the Human, the Angel and the Devil. The person who plays the Human is blindfolded during the whole game.
Players compete by collecting points. The game ends when the Human walks into the ladder. When this happens, the player with the most points wins the game.
Points are gained by collecting coins. Blue holy coins give the Angel and the Human points, while the red holy coins give th Devil and the Human points. Yellow coins only give points to the human, while the Angel-symbol respectivly the Devil-symbol only give points to each being.
If the Human dies, all players lose and there is no winner. The Human can take one damage, but dies if the Human is damaged during the time of bleeding and heartbeat sound.
The Human is damaged by crystal traps and monsters.
Crystal traps is used by the beings to steal points from each other. The Angel can use the blue trap to steal 3 points from The Devil, and red traps can be used by the Devil to steal 3 points from the Angel. The human only gets hurt by the traps.
