So this is where I talk about how things went this time and how great I am, right?
As always, Ludum Dare was so much fun. This was my fourth time and I’m still loving it. I feel like you can really see how much you improved by comparing your entries with each other, and this one was surely my best entry so far – at least I think (hope?) so.

What went right:

  • Theme: 10 Seconds was one of the themes I voted, and looking back I’m glad it was chosen :)
  • Idea: I’ve wanted to do a game like this for a bit now already and the theme finally made it possible. Yay!
  • Code: I have to say my code turned out pretty beautiful, if you disregard the last-minute hardcoded ugly things. It should be clean, efficient – and most importantly, it works!
  • Sound: I’m not a fan of sound generators, so I usually record them myself. It was hard to get going because I tried to take myself seriously, but once I gave up and decided for silly sounds again it ended up beautifully.
  • Livestream: This was my first livestream and even though I only had one monitor it worked out well. I even had a viewer come and chat with me! If you are reading this, hello and thanks for coming ;P

What went wrong:

  • Timelapse: ..uhm..oops? I totally forgot about it.
  • Graphics: Well, the character faces turned out nice. But the rest? Eww.
  • Music: I actually wanted to do cool ambient music using my voice and the PaulStretch effect, but I had no time left.

That’s all. Play my game here. Do it. Now!
