The deed is done. I think I’ll just do a quick post-mortem(I think that’s the correct term)

\n What went right<\/strong><\/h2>\n

– <\/strong>I didn’t chicken out and started to fear the code
\n – I pulled through.
\n – I actually got some decent sounds out of SFXR
\n – I’m really liking the overall feel of the game; how the signals switch and moves through the grid.
\n – Pretty decent aesthetics and artwork
\n – Streaming was a lot of fun and motivating!<\/p>\n

What went wrong<\/strong><\/h2>\n

– Java
\n – Single file of Java- Massive blob of Java
\n – Editing said massive blob of java 40 minutes before the jam ended and realizing I had broken the game.
\n – Got my gameplay idea too late and faffed about with technical issues rather than actually making a game..
\n – Not enough playing around with levels and I didn’t have time to create enough interesting blocks! The game is barely a challenge as it is right now.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Summary<\/h2>\n

Overall it was a positive experience; I actually learned some new stuff and tried to make a puzzle game(which I’ve never done before).
\n I wish that I’d done a lot of things differently, but next time I shall focus less on technical issues and more on core gameplay.<\/p>","time":"August 25th, 2014 6:59 pm","title":"It\u2019s done"}
