In the end I didn&#8217;t really focus on the things that I should have focused on and the result is an immense incomplete game. Fortunately one can see that it should be a game at some point. I won&#8217;t submit an entry, but those of you who are interested may check out the dev build linked at the end of this post.<\/p>\n <p>While the first day went pretty good I think, I already made less progress on saturday, probably because I generally had less time that day (okok, making games is cool, but I can&#8217;t miss my favorite&#8217;s club football match!). Also, I spent way too much time on making some (pretty bad) graphics this day. I guess I will become better at it with some more practice, but it&#8217;s just not my favorite thing to do either. I should maybe get some helping hands for the next jam for this, so I can focus on the programming. The programming went pretty good. Ok, I used Unity, but I&#8217;ve been programming for quite some years now and I can&#8217;t remember any (for me) new technology that I had so few problems with like this weekend. The biggest issue is that weird jumping bug that you can marvel at in the dev build as well. If you have <a href=\"https:\/\/gist.github.com\/tbureck\/1b18d73de963b6dee9a1\">any solution for this issue<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/tbureck\">hit me on Twitter<\/a> perhaps.<\/p>\n <p>Sunday was the worst day because some nasty headache has knocked me out completely and it still isn&#8217;t gone yet. I tried to do some stuff but ended up doing bullshit only. Sucks. I just hope I stay healthy during the next jam and perhaps find one or two people to help me and I think the result will already be much better. Now.. I&#8217;m going to check out some of the games that have been submitted and have s0me fun with them, too, I hope. <img src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/simple-smile.png\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/> See you at next LD!
