Every time I do a jam (this is #3) I say “there’s no way I’m doing this again” all throughout the jam.

But when you finally finish it, you get an energy high like no other. The “I just made this pretty good game in 72 hours” high (or 48 for you hardcore compo folks, huge respect to ya for that.)

I mean, literally the first 10 hours I didn’t have a team. I had went to a Ludum Dare Kickoff Party and wasn’t able to get a single person to sign on. So I decided ‘well I’ll do it myself’ and made some simple MSX looking sprites all the while searching my friends list and every channel I could think of for a late-entry teammate. Sure enough, Troisynx, a friend of mine, signed on and we were off. She got her friend MXW to join in and we ended up just running with the MSX theme. MXW even bitcrushed EVERYTHING to make it sound more authentic. So yea, those aren’t crappy recordings, they’re good recordings that we destroyed 😛

Huuuge thanks to the HaxeFlixel, OpenFl, and Haxe team for all their work. Being able to do this in Flixel-speed with incredibly similar (but better) syntax to AS3 AND being able to publish multiplatform was amazing. I’m still using HaxeFlixel on my ‘big game’ too, and it’s thanks to these amazing guys putting in endless hours that this stuff happens.

Anyways.

I really hope we were able to present something unique and you’ll enjoy playing our game c:
