In the way he can die because to go for the bread has his dangerous, for example spikes or meteors. , if he dies he go to the gray died world (he becomes phantom), the world change and in 3 seconds he resurrect but if he dies in the died world you lose the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

FIRST DAY: FRIDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

The theme was given at 3 am zzzzzzz. I just thought to watch the theme and going to sleep maybe i can get an idea sleeping :P. I saw the theme and i went to sleep, in the morning i was thinking idea until zzzzzz so when i woke up\u00a0, i got a\u00a0new idea!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SECOND DAY: SATURDAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

The idea was a game of a character in 2 worlds (lived and dead) both worlds (they are similar but different) and they are connected in x and y positions for the character so the map design was not easy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I started with rectangle map papers \u00a0for doing the map, that was great!, I got 2 maps that it looked match more or less and different..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next,\u00a0to know\u00a0is thhe size of the tiles. So first I decided to do the character size.<\/p>\n

I took a paper and I started to scratch.\u00a0This was a good thing . Because it’s about death, I remembered the grim funny “billy and mandy” cartoon so I decided to do a character with\u00a0Billy style :D, I called Pilly who loves the bread as much as i do :P, yeah, bread power!!.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u00a0decided to use Multimedia Fusion 2 (MMF2) in this ld because i bought in a humble bundle and i wanted to learn it. The problem i didn’t know how to use it yet :S, so i watched several tutorials for the basic<\/p>\n

And i got some problems to get used to MMF2\u00a0and implement different features( not normal features) like save position between transactions in worlds and movement controls, collisions stuffs and I couldn’t export to web :(. So next time I will take some days before to know what can i do with the tools.<\/p>\n

Anyway I finished the main character and the basic mechanic\u00a0:D.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SUNDAY<\/p>\n

Designning more maps and the mechanics, this day was good, some problem doing the music but i got something funny \ud83d\ude00 haha that match with the game character and the bread.<\/p>\n

I got problem with the Artificial intelligence\u00a0stuffs for meteors with MMF2 and it was given me strange bugs, maybe because the pixel levels..<\/p>\n

Anyway i got to finish and I was laughing a lot times when i played, something that few games get on me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, if someone know something that i can improve and they can give me advices I would appreciate it. Thanks! I hope that you like this post-mortem orr how-to .. thing not sure what I wrote\u00a0yet \ud83d\ude1b but I looked cool in this way (day per day).<\/p>","time":"September 1st, 2014 12:31 pm","title":"Post-mortem: Go for the bread"}
