\n What went right:<\/strong>
\n The idea was fleshed out pretty quickly that first night.<\/p>\n

No big interruptions over the weekend, even had Monday off from work!<\/p>\n

I’ve learned from my previous entries to make the learning curve much more friendly. I think the tutorial worked really well.<\/p>\n

Level design! I am pretty proud of the levels and the feedback I’ve gotten on the design.<\/p>\n

The art overall was great, shout out to my buddy Kahlil (@kahlilangeles<\/a>)! I really loved what he did with the cut scenes.<\/p>\n

I think the narration turned out pretty well, though I am a terrible writer (as you can see in this post).<\/p>\n

What went wrong:<\/strong><\/p>\n

All the people I was suppose to work with for this jam disappeared, I assembled different people right before it started so it worked out in the end.\u00a0 I always prefer working with other people I think its more fun to share the experience! (If you think we would be good partners in crime hit me up! @CraziGame<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Terrible workflow! I was not familiar with any tiling plugins for unity it made level making a huge chore.<\/p>\n

Collision problems! Lots and lots of collision problems, along with a few other small bugs.<\/p>\n

Sound was kind of the rushed job. I initially forgot to loop a couple stage tracks which I fixed pretty quickly. There were also some volume issues where the music was too loud compared to the narration.<\/p>\n

Timezones. The artist and I are on opposite sides of the world, our sleeping schedules heavily overlapped the most productive times for the other person.
\n Lessons learned:<\/strong><\/p>\n

LEARN THE TOOLS BEFOREHAND! Especially tools for making levels.<\/p>\n

I need to familiarize myself with sound making tools.<\/p>\n \n
