As promised, a new video! Last weeks video was mainly about setting the mood and giving you an idea of the atmosphere of our game, this weeks video is all about action and killing mummies. And this the first of many Developer Fridays to come. Every Friday we will post a little interview with someone who works or has worked on the game. Who are they and what have they done on the game! We will kick off with Anton Botvalde, one of the first people who got involved in the development of the game.

Who are you and what do/did you do on "The Ball"?
My name is Anton Botvalde, I'm from Sweden and I'm 22 years old. I am currently studying computer engineering at Lund University. My main responsibility for The Ball is scripting the gameplay in the various levels, but I have also done puzzle/game play design as well as bug hunting.
When and how did you join the team?
How did you start out with level scripting?
I have always been interested in programming and games in general.When I started in high school I started programming and made my own simple games. Later on I got interested in level design and found my way into scripting that way.
What has been the most challenging thing you have done on the game?
I think that has to be the first version of Survival, our alternative game mode. I made it entirely myself in Kismet, the level scripting tool, which was fun but challenging. Before I officially started working on The Ball I was doing semi research of what we actually needed to get the levels working, that was a fun but challenging time as well, since everything was completely new for me.
What do you like the most about the game?
Ze ball iz ze awesome!
can you not sqaush them with the ball?
that was the first way.
lol, the name of that video should have been "9 ways to inadvertently kill yourself while trying to kill mummies"
release on Steam plox! This game deserves it!
