Day 1 summary:<\/strong> Day 2 summary:<\/strong> What worked:<\/strong> What didn’t go so well:<\/strong> Plans:<\/strong> Might put it out on mobile after improving and tweaking a few things, + after seeing feedback.<\/p>\n Tools used:<\/strong> Unity5, Inkscape, GIMP, Sfxr, Audacity.<\/p>\n Thanks for playing! I’ve just rated my first 50 games, there are some really great ones, very imaginative.<\/em><\/p>","time":"April 20th, 2015 2:07 pm","title":"Sticky Bomber \u2013 Post mortem"}
\n I do like the theme, yet still struggled a bit with ideas. Finally decided to make a ‘Rube Goldberg’ style puzzler where you deliver a nasty substance onto a victim’s head. I started prototyping. Problem 1: liquids are hard to simulate (I have no ‘base code’ for it). Problem 2: good puzzles are even harder to design. Got nowhere, gave up. Assumed this was the end of my LD32… #Fail. <\/code><\/p>\n
\n Back in the game! As often happens, I woke up with a new idea that might just<\/em> be doable in a day. Worked super-hard in the morning to prototype it. Hmm, it’s kinda fun! Most of the work was in the Unity editor, with only ~150 lines of code. Relies a lot on physics + randomised levels.<\/p>\n
\n New game idea was simple enough to do in <12 hours without cutting corners.
\n Focused on 1 core game mechanic. Got it up and running quickly, established it was fun. This really boosts your confidence.
\n Didn't require complex level design or a lot of content (randomised levels).
\n Graphics all easy to draw.<\/p>\n
\n Everything on day 1. Need to prototype or design on paper asap, and be realistic.
\n Wasn’t up to speed on Unity5 changes, ie new particle systems, UI\/canvas stuff.
\n Not as adventurous as I could’ve been, fairly similar to my other games.<\/p>\n
