I managed to submit my game last night. Annoyingly I’ve been crazy busy this week, so hardly got as much time as I wanted to work on it. Still quite happy with what I did get done though. And it was my first LD entry, so I think it was a great warm up to LD32!

So, what did I learn?

• You can get a pretty nice style going with primitive shapes and a few textures.
• You can completely transform the feeling of a game by changing camera angle.
• It’s possible to get surprisingly close to a release worthy (mobile app maybe) game in a matter of days.
• I need to be more creative with game names.
• Consuming copious amounts of coffee seems intrinsically linked to creativity.  (Ok, ok, we all knew this one already)

Anyway,

Here’s the link to play:

Definitely going to be developing this game further. It’s been a pleasure, bring on LD32

Viva la Ludum
