I was satisfied with my last game, but this time I&#8217;m using a tool I&#8217;m much more confident in using, and I&#8217;d like to think that I&#8217;ve gotten better at making games since last August. Otherwise &lt;brag&gt; <a title=\"31\" href=\"http:\/\/zeppelincaptain.wordpress.com\/2013\/11\/06\/31-games-in-31-days\/\" target=\"_blank\">making 31 games in 31 days<\/a> &lt;\/brag&gt; would have been a waste.<\/p>\n <p>Another goal of mine is to make a game that feels like it&#8217;s not a waste of time. I feel\u00a0like I succeeded at that last time, since people found it unique, which is important to me.<\/p>\n <p>I will probably try to explore the relations between mechanics and narrative, like I did last time, and try to make the mechanics feel in sync with the mood and story of the game (extremely hard to do! \ud83d\ude00 ).<\/p>\n <p>I&#8217;ll also try to add some sound to the game this time, although I haven&#8217;t made\u00a0the mike work with Audacity yet. And maybe even some graphics that aren&#8217;t just colorful squares and half-circles!<\/p>\n <p>Most of all, however, my goal is to have fun ! Even though I&#8217;ve only been able to participate once, I love Ludum Dare, and all you people who&#8217;ll be making games this weekend. Soar high\u00a0and enjoy the ride!<\/p>\n <p>-ZC<\/p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/ferdinand-graf-von-zeppelin\/\" rel=\"tag\">Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/pre-mortem\/\" rel=\"tag\">pre-mortem<\/a><\/p>","time":"April 23rd, 2014 7:34 am","title":"The zeppelin arrives"}
