Thanks for the awesome jam good LD friends! \ud83d\ude00 Thanks for voting and the cool chats and feedback and votes!<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Had a wonderful #LDJAM this time around, I felt much better about this one than my\u00a0previous one<\/a>, both during and after the jam. And that definitely showed in the score \":)\"<\/p>\n

\"pokeLD\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So now that I’ve done four LDs (sorry #30, I couldn’t get to you), I can put some kind of data together and see if I can make sense of my performance. And to be honest, it’s baffling.<\/p>\n

\"TuismLDANALYSIS\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LD32 vs LD33<\/h2>\n

First, comparing this one to the previous shows a definite improvement, and that I’m really happy about. The previous one was really quite uninspired and rushed, and I’m glad that my approach to this one (not pre-determining what to make before the jam) has yielded far more creative and interesting\u00a0results.<\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

LD 31 vs LD33<\/h2>\n

In comparison to my best LD so far<\/a>, I couldn’t beat it. But hey, that’s really not a major issue. But that feels like an anomaly to me… my LD31 was a purely multiplayer game which meant it was impossible to test, with no Audio to speak of so it scored 0 there, and it was a platformer which was like 80% of other games. Why did it do so well?? Was it genuinely a great game, and I really should work on that one further, or was it an anomaly? WHICH IS IT?? D:<\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

Theme?<\/h2>\n

PokEscape placing 437th on theme makes me feel kinda sad, because the very first line of the description said “You are the (Poke)Monster!”, which I thought was a great fit for the theme. Which meant that 90% of people who rated the game either missed that line or never read it, or didn’t agree with it. Sigh.<\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

Comment count<\/h2>\n

I went through my games and roughly counted up how many comments I had on each game, and this last one was a lot higher than the rest by about 50%, which is possibly significant. Was it because this game referenced Pokemon? Or was it due to other factors? I really would like to know how many ratings my past games has. Don’t know where to find that. Sigh.<\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

Adios LD!<\/h1>\n

It’s been a rad Ludum Dare as usual \ud83d\ude00 After this analysis I think I’ve decided that data analysis is not useful without a sample size of a billion \":)\" So just keep jamming and having fun, making cool shit is the best you can do! Until next time amigos!<\/p>\n
