I really don&#8217;t thought I could do it in time. So I switch to another project.<\/p>\n <p>And I know it was a mistake. Even if their was some hard work to go, the game was running.<\/p>\n <p><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-582134\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Platformer-300x226.png\" alt=\"Platformer\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Platformer-300x226.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Platformer-768x578.png 768w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Platformer-550x414.png 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Platformer.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\n If I took the time to think about it, I would probably end up with a solution to modarate my ambitions on this project and finish it in time.<\/p>\n <p>So I switched to a puzzle game project and almost done it for the compo but wasn&#8217;t satisfied yet by the details.<br \/>\n I decided to take some extra time to implement a menu and make some art and published for the Jam.<br \/>\n And here it is :<\/p>\n <p><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-582135\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/scFreePlay2-300x225.png\" alt=\"scFreePlay2\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/scFreePlay2-300x225.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/scFreePlay2-768x576.png 768w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/scFreePlay2-550x413.png 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/scFreePlay2.png 1022w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n <p>It&#8217;s not\u00a0 as appealing as I expected first but I&#8217;m happy with the concept and the gameplay. It&#8217;s a puzzle game based on Conway&#8217;s game of life where you aim at cleaning the board in few moves.<\/p>\n <p>I would be glade to have\u00a0your opinions and critics about it. I&#8217;m considering doing more levels if someone\u00a0is\u00a0interested in it.<\/p>\n <p>I already learned a lot participating of a single Ludum Dare ! But, for the next one, I must train my\u00a0skills in graphics, sound and music. And I will focus on one single project, I promise ^^<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>","time":"August 31st, 2016 6:30 am","title":"It\u2019s time for my self-debriefing"}
