Nothing is ever easy
Work on the Intro continues. Sadly, I haven’t been able to do the final shots due to snow. The last shot was supposed to be outdoors and I really couldn’t shoot in snow as it wouldn’t fit to the other outdoor shots I had. So I returned the camera and I wait for better weather.
The camera [...]
TRAUMA Center
Today I got some tricky shots in for TRAUMA. These were actually the first ones where you can see the face of the main protagonist. So far, she existed only as a voice but I couldn’t get around showing a human face after all. I’m working on the intro sequence which needs to show the [...]
TRAUMA Nominated for IGF 2010
Apparently, TRAUMA was nominated for the Independent Games Festival 2010. In 3 categories. I say “apparently” because quite frankly, I can’t quite believe it. Getting nominated for IGF was one of my big goals for this project. However, I never had my hopes too high. After all, I’m just one guy (apart from TRAUMA’s Musician [...]
Red Faction Guerrilla: Collectibles Review
Collectibles. Fellow German co-blogger Pasco commented recently that collectibles are one of the characteristics of modern games. Also, the always superb Experience Points Podcast discussed collectibles as part of their “In Search of Secrets” Episode. Finally, being an achievement whore myself, collectibles are something I deal with on a regular basis. More than enough reasons [...]
PixelJunk Shooter is Awesome
Progress with TRAUMA grinds to a halt whenever I get swamped in work in my dayjob. My girlfriend being sick doesn’t help. It seems like I won’t make it this year after all. But I made a storyboard for the missing parts and I organized a camera and scheduled the shooting. Will try to wrap [...]

Fallout 3: Survival by Default
Judging by my recent posts on Mass Effect one might come to the conclusion I was a Fallout 3 fan. Both games are often compared when discussing modern western RPGs. I think their relationship is quite complimentary. The one has strengths where the other has weaknesses. Nevertheless, I indeed think that Fallout 3 offers a [...]

Mass Effect: Massive Interface Fail Part III
Welcome to the third and last part of the Massive Interface Fail Trilogy. In this series of articles I’m discussing the manifold interface design shortcomings in BioWare’s Next-Gen RPG Sci-Fi blockbuster Mass Effect.

Mass Effect: Massive Interface Fail Part II
Welcome to the second chapter of the Massive Interface Fail Trilogy. In this series of articles I’m discussing the manifold interface design shortcomings in BioWare’s Next-Gen RPG Sci-Fi blockbuster Mass Effect.
Ok, I admit I haxxored this one to drive the point home. But from here on only genuine screenshots, honestly.
As previously stated, almost EVERY screen in Mass [...]
