Back to rainbows ~ Post-Mortem
So I did it ! My first Ludum Dare !!
I’m not really proud of my game, I mean, it’s totally different from what I wanted to do in the first place (I wanted a Rythm game, but someone told me “No, it’s really to hard for a Ludum”, then a little cute plateformer) and I failed a lot of thing >< my physics are totally broken and my level generator isn’t working as expected.. But it was an AWESOME experience !!
I was at Real World Gathering in Montpellier, it was very lot of fun, doing ludum dare with friend, we totally lived together for the 48h (eventhough I have to go back to my flat just to sleep at least 2h, since all the boys were snoring x_x), and i meet lot of people, even see someone I’ve met one month earlier and didn’t expect to see there ! (Well, didn’t expect to see again in any place xD).
I was on twitch, great experience too, lot of fun, people helping you, giving you advice, I think I’ll do it again for any project !
I want to apologize to all the people who wanted to try it, and couldn’t cause of missing dll’s, i’ve fixed it, not the good way (got to pass on a win7 pc because I wasn’t able to do a static version on my Win8 xD) but you can now play it for sure !
So, about the game itself..
What went well :
– “Character” moves, really, first time I got move so smoooth, and I’m so happy with it, also, the color turned well, it’s the only thing I wanted in the first place that is here lol
– learn little thing, like doing a camera
– The event itself !
What went baaad:
– The physics, really, it’s totally messed up, I’ve passed soo many time on the colliding, it was awful, and it’s still working strange..
– The Level generator : it’s a total fail, it created more plateforme than it should (well, in game it’s cool, but in code, it says “15” and it creates 45 (no kidding)), i tried to avoid plateforme being on each other, you can have 5 plateforme on each other xD same for the switch, sometimes, on the same plateforme, you have 2/3 switches…
– Maybe the sound, First I wanted rythm game, but I wasn’t even able of getting a little ambiant music xD
– The version, it was a hell xD but now it’s fixed !!
What I’ll do next:
– first : SOLVE ALL THE BUGS xD
– then, i’ll surely do a HTML5 version, for training, and i think a little game like this is best to play on the web

best game ever
