BACKSTORY:

This was my first game made. Ever. I made a few games on the TI-84+SE, thus the name TIditto, and a few on scratch, actually turned out well on scratch, but this was my first ever “real” game. I usually make the music since that’s what I like, but let’s get into the Goods and Bads.

THE GOODS:

  • Successfully made a platformer with spikes walls, flying, endings, potatoes, fake stuff, and text
  • Successfully made music and sfx and did it quickly and well
  • Had tons of time to make the game
  • Learned Game Maker 7 on Friday night and Saturday night

THE BADS:

  • Did not spend time well. Spent hours making a mod pack for minecraft, should’ve went to better levels
  • Slept really late when I could’ve slept early
  • Didn’t know what I was doing and decided to enter a competition without any knowledge
  • Bent my neck with improper seating
  • Did not incorporate many ideas because i was A: To lazy B: Didn’t know how

Overall I guess this was a success mainly because I actually made a game on time. I scrapped many ideas that I spent hours on trying to make, but all in all I had fun. Thanks for everything LD48, will try again next time after a lot of fun with the 1gameamonth thing! Hope everyone else does well, seeya!
