Finished the game!<\/p>\n

I had great fun making Tunnel Gunner, and became very attached to the happy little robot I created as it’s protaganist. Ludum Dare was definitely a great experience. I really felt the pressure in the last day, trying to cram in extra features and hints with just minutes left on the clock.<\/p>\n

This was the first game I’ve made with proper sound effects. I used Bfxr \u00a0( http:\/\/www.bfxr.net\/ ) to create many of them, but took actual audio samples for others, including making silly noises into a microphone.<\/p>\n

The droning sound of the spaceship at the start of the game was sampled from the fans on my room mates’ Doge miner, I used the automatic door opener on my microwave for another sound effect. I found the sound design really enjoyable.<\/p>\n

\"Combat\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the great things about the dare is that it pushes you to build a totally complete game, and forces you to spend time on parts of game design you might otherwise over look.<\/p>\n

Thank’s for reading, and I hope you give Tunnel Gunner a try, you won’t regret it!<\/p>\n

Well you might, but that’s neither here nor there.<\/p>","time":"April 27th, 2014 6:33 pm","title":"Finished!"}
