I&#8217;m happy with the end result and cant wait how the ratings turn out. But this ludum dare didn&#8217;t have the same feeling for like last time. Last time I had more of an actual game. I spent several hours planning last time and managed to rush the game out, just a couple of hours before the deadline. Now because of the theme I didn&#8217;t get in a good mood and I was planning on skipping this ludum dare. But then I realised I could make simple mini-games without much effort and connect them in a special way. The idea turned out great even though I didn&#8217;t put much effort into the mini-games them self. I didn&#8217;t have the motivation like last time. I was never stressed with this game or had a difficult problem to solve with this one. I actually finished like 8 hours before the deadline and I didn&#8217;t even spend the \u00a0whole day programming. So here&#8217;s a list of\u00a0what\u00a0I could have done better:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>I could have done a much better job planning the mini-games.<\/li>\n <li>The graphics suck for this game. Could have improved them alot.<\/li>\n <li>Added more of objectives to the mini-games. In the highway game I could easily added a fuel you have to collect.<\/li>\n <li>I was really lazy. I could have a done a better job in general and added more things. Even though I was this lazy I finished hours before the deadline which shows that this was a too simple game for me to make.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>Now it&#8217;s done and this is now in the past. Like I said before I&#8217;m still happy how it turned out and the general idea was good but it could have been so much more than 4 simple games. Now it&#8217;s just to wait for the ratings to see how everything turned out. This was just a small write-up over my experience with ludum dare 30. Hope everybody had a good contest(I know that there are several hours left but I don&#8217;t really care)!<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-382803\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/screenshot1041-300x225.png\" alt=\"screenshot104\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/screenshot1041-300x225.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/screenshot1041-550x412.png 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/screenshot1041.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/connected-worlds\/\" rel=\"tag\">connected worlds<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/dare\/\" rel=\"tag\">dare<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/ld48\/\" rel=\"tag\">ld48<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/ludum\/\" rel=\"tag\">ludum<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/second\/\" rel=\"tag\">second<\/a><\/p>","time":"August 24th, 2014 1:41 pm","title":"My second Ludum dare is almost complete!"}
