Breaking down Devil May Cry combat system

Posted on April 22, 2021May 3, 2021by justyna

Some months ago I was asked to break down a system in an existing game as an exercise. Today I’d like to feature some parts of that exercise here. Despite currently working on a mobile game that has no enemies or power-ups, my passion really lies in action games with strong narrative. I’m a massive […]

Since 2015 I’ve been the main organizer of Global Game Jam in Umeå. The idea to do that came quite unexpectedly from an acquaintance from another city who used to organize it there. After a bit of hesitation I decided to go with it. It seemed to include all the things I liked to do […]

Experience prototyping: short movie!

Posted on November 28, 2017November 28, 2017by justyna

Sharing a project from about a month ago. We had a one week video course. It was my first experience with more professional setup, having a way to record audio, set up proper lighting and camera. I think that was truly the most fun and intense week I had at UID. I ended up with […]

Self & Distractions

Posted on September 29, 2017September 29, 2017by justyna

I just read two articles on Medium that made me want to write this, share my own opinion and reflect. Both of them by the same author. Both of them in a very similar tone, also something I heard before. What I heard/read before was about the sacrifices one makes to lead an extraordinary life, […]

Posted on September 5, 2017January 21, 2018by justyna

University resumed on Monday this week, and the high tempo started already on the first day with a quick recap of Arduino. By the end of the week we had to create something. The goal wasn’t anything in particular, the whole task was mostly about us trying things out and creating a functional system. I […]

Featured past project: CSS tutorials

Posted on August 11, 2017October 4, 2017by justyna

Not everything can make it into the portfolio. General rule is said to be that “your portfolio is only as strong as the weakest project“. But there is some pretty cool stuff I’ve done in the past and I’d like to feature it somehow, even if I can’t put it in the main portfolio. So […]

In search of a fitting CMS

Posted on August 8, 2017October 4, 2017by justyna

Looking at the growing population of designers who want to create websites but don’t know how to code, and the “make your own website in 5 minutes” systems flooding the web, I find it hard not to pride my self in the fact that, unlike many others, I can code. That’s why from the start […]
