Overall, it was a really fun experience, especially designing a map for my game, I might look into level design and enviromental art a bit more after this.<\/p>\n <p>I was kind of dumbfounded first. I didn&#8217;t really wanted to do a clich\u00e9 game about the player becoming the thing he fights against, so I decided to go with the literal interpretation. After some pondering, my pun loving self decided to make a game about a monster skateboarder. The code of the game got done relatively fast, and although it gets the job done, I&#8217;m really unhappy about the movement in my game.<\/p>\n <p>The next big thing was the graphics, I kinda had a look in my head, I visioned Jet Set Radio but with purple. Since I&#8217;m not really good with graphics things (yet), I decided to keep it as low poly as possible, while going to a messy hand-painted look with the textures, and although I could spend a forever improving it and putting more objects and life into it, I kinda like it how the look of the game turned out.<\/p>\n <p>I enjoyed this LD, it was a really fun experience, and I played a lot of fun games as well.
