Like that weird blue\/red drawing I made was an idea for oranebeasts game that no one can understand.<\/p>\n <p><strong>Early feedback\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <p>I&#8217;m glad I got some early feedback about planets being offscreen\/textures. Some people on irc were nice and played an alpha with only 3 planets and no lives.<\/p>\n <p>Initially I put in the reload button to alleviate this but clearly it didn&#8217;t work! So now they jump around until they are happy (not blocked\/offscreen). Adding more planets and alleviating brute forcing came up as feedback too, although both were planned to be addressed.<\/p>\n <p><strong>Audio<\/strong><\/p>\n <p>You can also see me make the audio at \u00a03min ish in the timelapse. Is it <strong>so bad it&#8217;s good?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <p><strong>Streaming<\/strong><\/p>\n <p>Helps to keep me focused, and IRC keeps me unfocused &#8211; but gives motivation. Even though I had an average view count of about 1 it&#8217;s worth it. At the end when I started streaming other peoples games it went up though, yay. \u00a0It&#8217;s kind of interesting to watch the number in the timelapse and relate it to humans physically sitting down watching or leaving.<\/p>\n <p><a title=\"Play Lava Is Last\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-30\/?action=preview&amp;uid=23130\"><strong>Play Lava Is Last<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>","time":"August 25th, 2014 3:07 pm","title":"Lava Is Last- Timelapse, Hot off the Mountain Top   (compo)"}
