Hi!<\/p>\n

This is my first postmortem on my first LD game. I am not going to write much text, here it is some facts and thoughts.<\/p>\n

“Rock, Paper, Geometry!”<\/a> – is a real-time tactic game based on “rock, paper, scissors” rules with random generated levels and impulse movement.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What went right<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I’ve finished it!<\/li>\n
  2. Feature cutting. I’ve cut more than 80% of \u00a0all planned features, leaving the most important and delicious. Time restriction is a powerful productivity tool \":)\"<\/li>\n
  3. Surprisingly the game balance was achieved very quickly.<\/li>\n
  4. Very poor random AI generates different fun situations.<\/li>\n
  5. I think the gameplay has a good combination of skill and luck, providing a replayability.<\/li>\n
  6. Sound effects made the “feel” better.<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    What went wrong<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. I was distracting by my real job and 7 days unfortunately\u00a0became 3 days.<\/li>\n
    2. No ambient music.<\/li>\n
    3. Hard to remember the rules of the game at the beginning.<\/li>\n
    4. The art. I hadn’t enough time to improve it.<\/li>\n
    5. Poorly written code. There is a little chaos \":)\"<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

      I’m very proud that my first LD experience was fun and I finished the game against the all road blocks! Thanks for reading!<\/p>\n \n
