I do opted in into the graphics category, because i do think that composing art (tiles, characters and so on) is also a very challenging task. In my last game for LD i did opted out in graphics, because i used graphics from different free to use graphic packs. A comment about asking why i did opted out for the graphics despite the composition of those assets was well made, let me thinking. How should i handle it the next LD?\n\nThe most time and effort for me were two things: Composition and writing\/puzzle creation. With the light version of the rpg maker program, i had only very few choices on how to composite my game to satisfy my story. I search couple of hours for alternatives in the www for more tiles to use - but in the end it was a waste of time. I believe, sometimes to get more out of your creative mind - do limit yourself to the resources you already have. That helped me a lot!\n\nPlease let me know what you think about it. Thanks!\n","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Nekonyo","author_uid":"1122667","time":"2018-12-08T19:05:05Z","epoch":1544295905,"modified":1544295905,"text":"I was surprised to see so much story and work until it finished \ud83d\ude32.

But i didn't manage it in time. A very simple solution would have been to make multiple choices the player one can choose from. I planned to remember if you could solve the little riddle and let it count at some points in the history. Actually the king asks three times, if you do not know the answer :smile: After the third attempt, the king presents the player the solution. So there is no frustration to not know the right answer.\n\nI do think about getting a license for the rpg maker. With the light edition i only have 10 events for each map. That is a very harsh limitation, if you use a lot of objects the player should interact with :smile: ","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld43\/133729-a406dcbca66ed6208b7323f576390dac.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/marinwin.itch.io\/path-of-sacrifices","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"41615","g_author":"1012056","g_event":"LD43","g_eventkey":"71","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"224092","g_title":"The Path of Sacrifices","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"664","g_commentcount":"14","g_site2_node_id":"133729","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"133729","n_urlkey":"224092","n_parent":"120415","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/43\/the-path-of-sacrifices","n_slug":"the-path-of-sacrifices","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"12056","n_created":"1543868375","n_modified":"1543886963","n_version":"396429","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":133729,"parent":120415,"superparent":9,"author":12056,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2018-12-04T01:26:29Z","created":"2018-12-03T20:19:35Z","modified":"2018-12-04T01:29:23Z","version":396429,"slug":"the-path-of-sacrifices","name":"The Path of Sacrifices","body":"Hey folks,\n\nso this \u201creal life\u201d interfered again my plans to make a nice weekend of pure ludum dare development - again.
