Did i ever tell you about the time i ate raw popcorn?<\/p>\n

No, seriously.<\/p>\n

This was our first Ludum Dare and it was good in many ways. We saw how we work together,\u00a0we had different ideas and we decided to take a chance. Yes, why not?<\/p>\n

We had very simple ideas that could easily be done in 72 hours, but discard all of them to do something a little more unexpected.<\/p>\n

And it’s called “Distracted Detective”.
\n We returned to the old DOS games because we’re nostalgic bastards. We mixed a classical point ‘n click game with a little Carmen Sandiego feeling and\u00a0voil\u00e0.<\/p>\n

\"Distracted<\/a>

Be a detective somewhat distracted, somewhat obsessive who can analyze only one item at a time.<\/p><\/div>\n

It is clear that much could be done better, but we took a leap of faith and in the end it was not that bad. But I’ll leave\u00a0the conclusions to you.<\/p>\n

We say yay to:
\n – Work together was cool.
\n – Programming a point ‘n click was easy so I could think a lot about the detective cases.
\n – Pixel art FTW.
\n – I found a cool background music.<\/p>\n

We do not say yay to:
\n – In the end, we had very few cases (we wanted around 10).
\n – All menus were done in a hurry.
\n – We didn’t have time to put sounds and more music.<\/p>\n

Big message:
\n – Make a point ‘n click game is fun, easy and safe of bugs (but if you find some, we are sorry).
\n – Is it even legal to drink beer making games? I enjoyed it.
\n – I have to practice my English.
\n – More LDs from now on.<\/p>\n
