Creating my game ‘Replay’ was an awesome experience. I hope it’s a sidescroller you’ll also like.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned quite a bit. For the first time I used WebGL in a game jam after I ported one of my games to WebGL only half a month ago to learn how to use it (the port isn’t finished yet, because I just had to do this jam, but if you want to take a look: unfinished WebGL version<\/a>, finished WebGL-free version<\/a>). This is the first game which isn’t as static as my older games. I’ve got fancy animations and cool parallax scrolling.<\/p>\n

Things that went great:
\n * getting all those images into WebGL as textures worked without a hitch
\n * finally some animations and parallax scrolling!
\n * the game has a really cool ending
\n * came up with a name really early<\/p>\n

Things that went bad:
\n * I wanted to use free sprites for my character and environment, but couldn’t find images for everything and had to do some art on my own (every good looking image is not made by me ;))
\n * Couldn’t use the whole week because there was some really annoying disturbance that prevented me from working on my game
\n * didn’t have time to add a start to the game, so you have to start at the ending<\/p>\n

Please play and comment on my game \":)\"<\/p>","time":"February 20th, 2015 11:38 am","title":"Mini LD #57 Post Mortem \u2013 Replay"}
