After the start of the jam, I&#8217;ve forced myself to stay away from the computer for like 4 hours. I wanted to have a clear idea and be inspired. So I had a shower, I washed dishes, I cleaned my room and the idea just popped out. Moreover, my wife was very happy about my cleaning spree \ud83d\ude00<br \/>\n &#8211; <strong>The story<\/strong>. I like the character and what it can become sometime in the future (maybe).<br \/>\n &#8211;\u00a0<strong>The idea about graphics<\/strong>. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;m not good with graphics&#8230; but I like the idea I&#8217;ve got about how the character sees the world.<\/p>\n <p><strong>What may be not going well:<\/strong><\/p>\n <p>&#8211; <strong>How the game feels<\/strong>. I hope the game feels &#8220;right&#8221; (i.e. how I would like it to feel)<br \/>\n &#8211; <strong>The execution of graphics<\/strong>. Something may be messy or not clear.<\/p>\n <p><strong>What didn&#8217;t go well at all:<\/strong><\/p>\n <p>&#8211; <strong>No sound<\/strong>. I&#8217;m not experienced with audio and I didn&#8217;t have enough time to record sounds myself. I felt like some retro sound wouldn&#8217;t be fitting in the theme. Too bad anyway, I think that sound and music play a big part in how a video game feels.<br \/>\n &#8211; <strong>Too few content, not enough variety<\/strong>. I didn&#8217;t manage to put in the game any character development, there&#8217;s only one attack move, enemies feel too similar, the game is too short and too easy. I really regret all those things, but I didn&#8217;t manage to do more in the deadline. Damn.<\/p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/postmortem\/\" rel=\"tag\">postmortem<\/a><\/p>","time":"April 20th, 2015 3:02 am","title":"no. 55 \u2013 postmortem"}
