HacKit was a Game of Three project with a goal similar to Colores, in that we tried to create a simple yet challenging puzzle gameplay.

MineToShrine is a Game of Three project where we aimed to bring a Minecraft-esque game experience in 2D to the S40 Asha phones from Nokia. Since it was created for Nokias Hackcamp, we had exactly one week for this prototype.

Features

  • Huge but randomly generated world, complete with icy mountains, green valleys, hot deserts and deep lakes. How big? There are 3600 blocks visible when you zoom out, while the world has over 900000 blocks in total!
  • Complex crafting system
  • Very free and exploratory gameplay, while maintaining a quest system and storyline

Challenges

  • Creating the whole game in one week
  • Using only Java ME on very limited feature phones
  • Creating a Minecraft-esque gameplay in 2D
  • Building the terrain generator to create great worlds with different terrain sets, like mountains and forests and placing the level elements and resources where they belong
  • Creating a useful and integrated crafting system, interacting with the quests
  • Use the touch and type of Nokias Asha 303 together in a meaningful way

Technical Details

  •  Created from scratch without any framework, since none fit our needs

Awards

  • Won the Most Addictive Game special price at Nokias Hack Camp 2012

Metalgigs has of course a (at the moment private) central REST API to supply the various Metalgigs apps and partner sites with events and handle most of the AJAX calls from Metalgigs itself.

Challenges

  • Creating a REST webservice that is flexible enough to handle all the necessary calls, while offering a standardized interface and avoiding redundancy

Business Process Editor

The Business Process Editor was a study project where I tried out new ways of user interaction and UI design for process modelling, to get a optimised and more efficient user experience. The editor was partly based on AristaFlow and part of the MARPLE project.

To further the accessibility it was decided that the project should be available in flash and was therefore created with Adobe Flex. Today such a project would likely be created with HTML5 and AJAX, but this was a few years back. ;)
