<\/a><\/p>\n Play “Oozin’ in Space”.<\/a><\/p>\n This was my first LDJam and my first completed game. I’m currently working on a platformer, so I did have that experience to build off of.<\/p>\n I decided to do the jam since I couldn’t work on the game on Monday and wasn’t sure how much I’d finish.<\/p>\n Tools used: My brainstorming notes.<\/p><\/div><\/li>\n ‘Lil dude just wants to ooze!<\/p><\/div><\/li>\n What went badly<\/strong><\/p>\n -I should’ve taken Monday off of work. Even though I was doing the Jam, I was making it a point to finish by Sunday evening. Had I taken that extra day off, I would’ve spent more time with sfx and actually writing new music.<\/p>\n -I rushed the SFX and used an old song I wrote. The SFX are ‘okay’ and, while I like the song, I don’t feel that it fits. I would’ve liked a more ‘metroid-creepy’ song.<\/p>\n -I daydreamed about other themes before the weekend. I’ve wanted to make a small local multiplayer game for a while now and I thought LD would be my excuse. When the theme was first announced, I was super bummed. Not that I didn’t like it, but that I couldn’t do my original idea.<\/p>\n -Not being more familiar with BFXR. I was seriously just moving sliders all over the place. I should’ve spent more time with it beforehand or made my sounds in LSDJ which I’ve been using for years.<\/p>\n Me using BFXR.<\/p><\/div>\n -Small things. The song has a gap in when it loops. The astronauts can see you even if they’re off-screen. The closet door only has two frames. I wanted the space station of hover. I wanted to use particles. Again, more time would’ve let me do these things.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Overall<\/strong><\/p>\n I learned a ton. I thought quickly and on the spot. My original idea for astronauts spotting the player didn’t work (Line of Sight behavior), so I came up with another. With more time, I would’ve had it working perfectly. This weekend definitely helped me think logically and focus on immediate problem-solving. I also made a game. My first game! How friggin’ cool is that!<\/p>\n \n Tags: postmortem<\/a><\/p>","time":"August 24th, 2015 3:55 pm","title":"LD33 Post-Mortem"}
