Micro-postmortem(compo):<\/strong><\/p>\n Premise: Compo ran from Saturday, 4 AM to Monday, 4 AM.<\/p>\n Saturday was fine, really. Except, I never got the game to work quite the way I wanted it to.<\/p>\n I completely crashed at 3PM for four hours, and then again, at 21:45, which lasted to 1:00 or so. I actually missed some recording there.<\/p>\n After that, it’s been fine. I just ran out of time.<\/p>\n what would I do differently?<\/strong><\/p>\n I’d probably get a full and complete night’s rest between Saturday and Sunday. \u00a0I just don’t work that well on sleep deprivation.<\/p>\n I still had enormous issues coming up with a concept I was happy with. I’m not sure what I would do about that.<\/p>\n Solution?<\/strong><\/p>\n I guess… If I’d have to say… a bit of behavior forcing. Do not allow yourself to write one row of code before you have your concept. In general, it’s a good idea to know what to do, before tryig to do it. I would have liked more time to do prep work with HaxePunk – I did have time, waiting for the compo to start, though, so I can only blame myself there.<\/p>\n Next time, I’m likely to go with something targeting JVM, or L\u00f6ve2d. And yeah, I’m participating next time. That being said, I rather like having collision, entity management and all that being handed to me all ready-like, like this.<\/p>\n like, like.<\/p>\n My entry will be up here:<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-28\/?action=preview&uid=25313<\/a><\/p>\n Now it’s just a question of how far I can get before time totally runs out.<\/p>\n Last time, even if it wa a week late, I did get my game into a shape where I actually enjoyed playing it. A little bit.<\/p>\n So, I’m hoping I’ll get the compo to a similar shape. I’d rather not spend an extra week on this, like I did last time.<\/p>\n \n Tags: compo timelapse<\/a>, timelapse<\/a><\/p>","time":"December 15th, 2013 8:30 pm","title":"Compo Failure.
