My intended idea at the beginning of the jam proved too difficult to complete. Then I had pretty much no ideas for the remainder of the compo period. Finally, just when the compo period ended yesterday, I had an idea for playing a bossfight from the boss’s perspective. The connection to the theme is pretty weak. You only have one… eye? Room? Goal?<\/p>\n

Regardless, even though the game only barely touches the theme, is buggy, has no sound, has very unfinished graphics, and has incomplete gameplay implementation, I’m just glad to have something, even a very rough prototype, to show for the Dare. I’d have felt worse if I simply hadn’t been able to come up with anything at all and had had to skip over this jam.<\/p>\n

Whatever one can say about Cyclops, it was a good learning experience. After I’ve had a break to cool down from this jam stuff, I’d like to return to the prototype and polish it to completion, just for the experience of it.<\/p>\n
