I liked the theme so I decided to go for it knowing that I would have less time.<\/p>\n <p>&#8211; Its a rather complicated game, and I wanted to keep the Leaderboards the same. I lost a good chunk of time on generating the levels, in the same way. I think I redid it 3 times during the weekend.<\/p>\n <p>&#8211; Scoring is complicated, I was in the process of adding it during the weekend, but ran out of time. That more or less left the game in a non-game state. Mostly its complicated because I wanted your score to be calculated on the website, so its sent in variables and then calculated there. But it also has to be displayed in game, so I calculate it there as well.<\/p>\n <p>-Collisions When I imported my sprites to Construct 2 the collision mask that was generated was a mess, it has some really weird things going on so that look time to fix (but it works good now)<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <h2>What Went Right:<\/h2>\n <p>&#8211; Construct 2 worked great, other than the collisions I had no problems with it.<\/p>\n <p>&#8211; html5 I feel is a better platform for this type of Art game, its much faster and easier to get at than downloading a client.<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <h2>Future:<\/h2>\n <p>&#8211; I will be finishing the html5 version at some point, but right now I&#8217;m not sure when as its getting into Finals week.<\/p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/post-mortem\/\" rel=\"tag\">post-mortem<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/postmortem\/\" rel=\"tag\">postmortem<\/a><\/p>","time":"December 8th, 2013 6:14 pm","title":"mLD47 Untitled Postmortem"}
