Derrick

Posted by Matthias on December 17, 2010

Derrick, the game I worked on at Daedalic, has finally hit the shelves.

It’s a hidden-object-game based on the famous (or so I’m told) german TV-series, and I guess it’s nice to being handed such a massive franchise to work with. It was a blast to work on this, especially with my talented, motivated and nice team (well done, guys).

Compared to similar games I believe I can say that we did well, and brought in some fresh ideas to advance the genre.

Stuff I worked on:

Several Level-Designs
The Majority of the mingames
General Game-Design
The Interface
Several graphics, wherever necessary

Also, I was the Lead tester, meaning I played this thing for three weeks straight. Fun Times.

Here’s some more screenshots of the game. Enjoy.

End of Daedalic-Internship approaching

Posted by Matthias on September 22, 2010

My three months with the wonderful designer of Daedalic Entertainment are almost over, and I’m quite happy having been given the chance to work there.

I have worked with nice and interesting people, have learned valuable lessons and had the chance to participate in several interesting projects.

Now I will return to Game-Design School, to make some interesting games in the third year.
