As promised, I just released a post-compo version of my game The One Fork Restaurant. It adds musics, a bit of general polish, and an better Android port besides the regular web (flash) version.

I’ve updated the post-mortem of the game, to include the results of the game. For a first participation in the compo, I wasn’t excepting much, so I’m quite astonished by one the ratings:

Theme

4th place, woaw! Due to the high quality of the others entries I’ve played here (Titan Souls, One Precious Arrow…), I wasn’t excepting to reach top 5 in one category – so thanks to all of you who voted for the game! I guess washing dishes can actually help you have game design ideas with some potential after all :p!

Humor & Fun

Around top 100 on those two seems quite nice too, though I’ll try to really get in the top 100 for Fun next time!

Innovation & Overall

For sure the game wasn’t that experimental, and I guess the Overall score has been lowered by the remaining categories. But I’m still quite happy with those results for a first participation.

Mood & Graphics & Audio

As I said, I’m no graphic artist, and not a musician (the compo version didn’t have music). Guess I now know the areas I have to improve on during the next 4 months…

Conclusion

All in all, this first LudumDare was a really wonderful experience for me! During the compo, seeing all those ideas and in-progress reports were really motivating. After the compo, I’ve discovered a nice community with a lot of people providing very useful feedback during the ratings. So, thanks to all of you and to the organizers, because it was really awesome to take part into this event, and I’m really looking forward for the next one!
