Life seemed to have gotten in the way after the two days at Ludem Dare. Secondly this is a short summary of my game the full length one can be found on my youtube channel later today.(Watch this space).<\/p>\n <p>What went right:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Using unity, going with something you know really, really is the best thing you can do to help your chances of &#8220;winning&#8221;.<\/li>\n <li>My level design workflow; this would be a post on itself but by the end of the compo I could make a level in 5 min flat.<\/li>\n <li>Trading Extensibility for Simplicity, in the beginning I had one hell of a OOP class diagram with singletons and factory&#8217;s to make my mobs and store my data. However in the end they were made into static variables and Instance() commands.<\/li>\n <li>Um&#8230; &#8230;I finished? No really this was my first project that I can put my &#8220;This is a game&#8221; sticker on. <img src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/simple-smile.png\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/><\/li>\n <li>Even worse&#8230; &#8230;I started. You know that guy? The guy who thinks they suck real bad and so don&#8217;t ever do anything. That was me<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>What went wrong:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>The difficulty. This I think was a major downer to most people. The fact that they didn&#8217;t get past level one, it might have caused them to rate fun lower than they might have as well.<\/li>\n <li>Innovation. this speaks for itself.\u00a0986th isn&#8217;t that bad&#8230;. Right?<\/li>\n <li>How I got 2.07 for humor when my game had no DIALOGUE.<\/li>\n <li>Secrets, most people didn&#8217;t seem to get that all you needed to do to find a secret was shoot at a wall.\u00a0If( !Wall.HasBulletHole ){ SecretWallFound(); }<\/li>\n <li>My overall 435th rating, A bit disappointing. I was aiming for at least 399th.<\/li>\n <li>\u00a0I forgot to add blood particles.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-27\/?action=preview&amp;uid=27354\">Another thing that I forgot is the link<\/a><\/p>","time":"September 21st, 2013 4:33 am","title":"Hadean Rampage post-mortem"}
