Journey of a Game Designer

I decided that my first review would be about the game Professor Layton and the Curious Village . I chose it, because it was one of the first games I really played and I want to forget the horror that was Lady Layton. Now, let's begin! Don`t worry Layton, those are probably nice people. Just don`t trust those with a moustache.  Summary: Professor Layton and the Curious Village is a puzzle adventure game developed by Level-5, which released on February 15, 2007 on the DS. In the game you play as, who would have guessed, Professor Hershel Layton and his somewhat obnoxious apprentice. Layton is a archaeology professor in London with a knack for solving puzzles. When he get`s a mysterious letter asking for help in an inheritance dispute and the search of a golden apple, he can`t resist. And so, the first of many adventures started, as the player experienced the adventures of Professor Layton. Positive Aspects: - The riddles: this game has over 120 puzzles, inclu...

Okay, I admit it: I had so much fun working in Photoshop today, that I continued anyway, even though I had other things to do for university. Don´t tell my professors. Anyway, for a fact, my favorite franchise is Fire Emblem. And because of that I probably spend to much time thinking about it. Some time ago I found this community: https://fecompendium.tumblr.com/ called Fire Emblem Compendium. They do pretty cool drawing challenges and I decided to tackle one of the older ones called Random Character Challenge . I got Elphin and I didn`t knew anything about him. Because his game never released outside of Japan. But he seems to be a good guy, I like his design, so I like drawing him. I am not done with my drawing of him yet, but here is a picture of the progress I made today. More is coming soon! My Elph...

I have to say, I am happy with the result of my work. I drew this at university under the guidance of my professor. Everyone drew a dwarf and even though mine is of course not as good looking as the one of my professor, I am still satisfied. I had a lot of fun, and while there are still many things that could be better (like the shadow on the wall), I think that for the first time seriously drawing something in Photoshop, it went quite well.

Hello everyone and welcome to my Blog! While I am not expecting anyone to read this, I thought, that I should make this offical and tell you what this is a ll about. About me My name is Hannah and I am an aspiring Game Designer living in Germany.I am still a student a t the moment , but someday I will hopefully work in the industry! My passions are writing, reading, music and of course gaming. While I am still new to the whole blogging buisness, I hope you nevertheless will enjoy the time you spend here. What will you find in this Blog? Well, mostly you will see me wirting about games (MDA-Analysis, Reviews etc.), writing creative texts and creating pictures. These pictures can be 3D-Renders, drawn pictures and vector graphics. At  the moment I am pretty much a beginner in all of these, so please be gentle. Ever so often you will get to see game ideas made by me or a trailer of a game that I am working on with other students. That`s all I have to say for now, but stay tu...
