“Incomplete” is my very first LD game and second game jam overall.\u00a0Since i suck at coding my brother can only do “programmer art” yet we decided to work together this time and i think it turned out well.<\/p>\n

“Incomplete” is a point and click adventure in which you have to make the right choices to become a better human being.\u00a0God has punished you for living your live in a bad way and thus took away several body parts of yours.\u00a0Get them back by being a good person or continue your way and suffer the consequences.<\/p>\n

What went right:
\n <\/strong>– Art Style: I decided to go for semi realistic Pixel Art which was a great choice because i have the most experience with this style and doing anything different would have been a disaster, both time and quality-wise.
\n – Software: I worked with photoshop cs5 and thanks to a good workflow i was way faster than i expected. While my brother always encourages me to work with open source software i think its important to stick with what you know, atleast for a game jam.
\n – Distraction: We had a friend over, played skat and smooked hookah, went bowling and ate some delicious cookies our mom made. Keeping a good balance between work and relaxing keept me going and helped us refocus and rethink our concept.<\/p>\n

What went wrong:
\n <\/strong>– Time Managment: One of my biggest problems in the jam. I Spend an hour on a small graphic with little or no importance to the game and this forced me to do more important graphics like the main character in 30minutes in the last night.
\n – Game Concept: After 1 Day we changed our game concept from a minigame-collection to a point&click adventure. Sadly even after doing so we didnt take time to think it through, resulting in a nice concept about morality but some inconsistencies in the implementation.
\n – Real Life: Monday i had a university appointment and lost 6hours. Atleast i was able to test the game on my tablet but spending that time on animations wouldve added even more juicyness to the game.<\/p>\n

Overall a great jam and alot of fun and stress in 72hours. Cant wait for the next one!<\/p>","time":"December 24th, 2013 5:58 am","title":"Incomplete Post Mortem"}
