So… no entry.<\/p>\n

But this was an event I would not miss and I learned a lot. I did my first steps in the flash world. I learned a lot about AS3, Flixel and Dame. So I will be in a lot better condition for the next LD.<\/p>\n

So… what went wrong? I think the biggest mistake was to put the theme fully in the graphics\/”story”. Without good graphics there was no story which was to incorporate\u00a0the theme. I tried to make simplifications like changing from 16×16 to 8×8 graphics and still kind of lost focus\u00a0and motivation\u00a0to the project.<\/p>\n

I was also perhaps a bit too greedy on the stuff that I wanted to implement. Even after selecting the most easy of my ideas as the game and after couple of simplifications I did while doing the project. Getting overwhelmed after reading a longer version of the list below I kind of gave up and didn’t even try enough. :'(<\/p>\n

Below is a list of stuff that was left undone or unfinished. Purely as a reminder for myself for the next LD.<\/p>\n

Graphics<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Level tiles (Very important for theme)<\/li>\n
  2. Enemies (Currently only one Bunny)<\/li>\n
  3. Menu stuff and generic graphics<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

    Coding stuff<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Enemy manager<\/li>\n
    2. Map\u00a0manager<\/li>\n
    3. Attacks for enemies<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

      Other<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Sounds<\/li>\n
