Inverted Post-mortem

During Ludum-dare I created an average arcade game taking place between two creatures with the ability to switch places through their worlds.

What happened:
First I woke up and had a large break fast

photo 2turns out wordpress likes to flip images.

then got to my work station

photo 1it sure loves flipping images.

and began creating.

What went right:

  • I got a basic, playable game in under 4 hours
  • The graphics were amazing
  • Beautiful music.
  • Simple and addictive gameplay (I got addicted myself)
  • Awesome particle effects

What went wrong :

  • Two game stopping glitches
  • 1. Impossible to pass through certain spike arrangements.
  • 2. Random death
  • DUMB non-perceptive people have no understanding the gameplay/core mechanics.
  • Complaints of the music being too loud.
  • The particle effects were not noticed, from their low transperency.

What will happen next time :

  • I’ll prepare more time to work.
  • Clear my weekend.
  • Make the music quiet
  • Make the particles POP
  • Get a setup.

What will I do with the game :
I’ll probably make a post-game, I found my self to love it and others aswell, Plus with a little extra content, It’ll run itself and I won’t need to create as much content in the long run.

You promised a timelapse?
Oh, yes here it is.
