\n My entry Project Meteor now has a WebGL version – so if you like try it out here<\/a> (and feel free to leave a comment

)<\/p>\n Postmortem<\/h3>\n
After my failed first attempt last time (mainly because I was not familiar with neither Unity nor Blender) I’m glad that I could finish something that could at least be called game this time – even though I had to cut down on content greatly and spontaneously in the last few hours. But a game is a game – so: Yay~<\/p>\n
What I’m satisfied with:<\/p>\n
- \n
- The Asteroid Physics:<\/strong> it took a whole lot more time than I wanted, but in the end I like the result. It’s quite as I imagined it beforehand.<\/li>\n
- The Pixel Art:<\/strong> It’s my first real attempt at pixel art (with some helpful references in terms of style) and especially creating the tool images was more fun than I expected.<\/li>\n
- The Atmosphere:<\/strong> mainly thanks to the great music by my friend Fabian<\/li>\n
- Collaboration:<\/strong> I was in loose contact with aforementioned friend and my best friend via WhatsApp throughout the weekend and got feedback, moral and resource support. Much better than fighting alone
<\/li>\n - Spontaneity during Design:<\/strong> when the deadline came close I got more and more decisive when it came to design choices. Two examples: Allowing just one drill per position instead of implementing a more complex Collider manipulation method. Turning the planned third tool (the Signal Transmitter) into the very thing that you have to search in the game.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n
What I want to improve next time:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Time Management:<\/strong> This seems to be the eternal ToDo in many post-mortems I have read so far. Especially finetuning the physics (and not finding a subtle bug) took much more time than appropiate.<\/li>\n
- Art Style:<\/strong> Mixing a photo of an Asteroid (3d model) and a high-resolution space background with my self-made pixel art is suboptimal. Next time I try to go for smaller scope and everything from the same source.<\/li>\n
- Content and Gameplay:<\/strong> This game will keep a player maybe engaged for 3 minutes. Next time I want to go for longer content.<\/li>\n
- Teamwork:<\/strong> Having a real complete team next time would be great
<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n Thanks for reading and if you are interested in my game developing endeavours (and 8 bit pixelart which I retweet quite a lot :D) then follow me on Twitter<\/a><\/p>","time":"September 2nd, 2016 11:08 am","title":"Project Meteor now with WebGL version & Postmortem"}
