Firstly, play and rate the game here:\u00a0http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-28\/?action=preview&uid=28875<\/a><\/p>\n

What went well:<\/b><\/p>\n

– The art style, although I should’ve used Illustrator to draw the art using vector graphics from the start, rather than swapping half way through.<\/p>\n

– I really like how I organised my Javascript code. Will use this style in the future.<\/p>\n

– I like the (albeit minimal) story and the aim of the game. I find it quite funny.<\/p>\n

What didn’t go well:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Using only HTMl5 2D stuff to cheat the 3D isometric. It sort of worked, but there are a few bugs in the depth sorting that didn’t work out.<\/p>\n

– Swapping ideas and styles mid-way through the competition. I need to do more planning, and fully think out my idea before I start. Maybe even spend half an hour away from programming after deciding and then come back to it to see if I still like it.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0Collisions on the isometric grid. Again, using 2D stuff to cheat 3D isn’t a very good idea.<\/p>\n

– I would’ve preferred to use Haxe and OpenFL to export to Flash, but I need way more experience in it before I can write a game in 48 hours using it.<\/p>\n

– Lack of audio. I just didn’t get around to adding sfx with sfxr. I wanted some music in the background, but I simply can’t create my own game music. I’ve since done some research into music generation software, but I haven’t come across anything ground breaking yet.<\/p>\n

– Lack of animation. Again, didn’t get around to it.<\/p>","time":"December 16th, 2013 7:08 am","title":"Click Click Cat Post Mortem"}
