SURVIVED MY FIRST LD!<\/p>\n
<\/a>Brillium – LD 30 – Connected Worlds<\/p><\/div>\n
\n I wanted to do a quick mini post mortem to sum up my thoughts directly after submitting.<\/p>\n
LD30 was my first ever Game Jam, I have never made a game in such a short amount of time, and it was quite the experience. I knew going in that 48 hours would be tight, but tried to be prepared for anything.<\/p>\n
I wasn’t too thrilled with the theme, but tried to go with it anyway. I ended up trying to make a game where you have several planets comprised of fluid-like matter, and you can drag this matter to other planets.<\/p>\n
Then the goal of the game is to sustain life on each planet using the given starting resources. The worlds being connected via their need for each others matter.<\/p>\n
I knew this would be a programming challenge for me as I had never created any fluid-like systems before. But I figured I had no better ideas, so I’d give it a shot.<\/p>\n
In the end I did spend most of my time fighting with my janky, messy code, but I got it mostly working. I have 3 pretty (or at least I think so) worlds, and you can drag the resources between them.<\/p>\n
I ran out of time and had to add game play later than I wanted. This ended up costing it, you really just have to drag resources quickly between the worlds before time runs out.<\/p>\n
It really didn’t end up being all that fun or rewarding. So I’ll definitely take that as a lesson.<\/p>\n
Anyway, try it out if you want, any feedback is much appreciated!<\/p>","time":"August 24th, 2014 7:25 pm","title":"Mini Post Mortem"}
