For that he is considered a villain between the human society. He spawns wherever goats are in danger, and right now is in a frozen tundra.</p>\n <p>In the game you must run towards villagers to bump them to death, so they don&#8217;t do the same to your goats.</p>\n <p><strong>What went right:</strong></p>\n <ul>\n <li>I knew how to fix most bugs</li>\n <li>I had the right tools</li>\n <li>I chose an idea that was seemingly doable in the period of time I had</li>\n <li>I slept well before beginning</li>\n </ul>\n <p><strong>What went wrong:</strong></p>\n <ul>\n <li>I had so many different ideas for the game, but all impossible in the timeline</li>\n <li>I changed ideas about 4 times</li>\n <li>I wasted time reading random texts on the web when my brain was &#8220;hot&#8221; brainstorm-wise</li>\n </ul>\n <p><strong>Things to improve:</strong></p>\n <ul>\n <li>Again, have a pre-made library for character movement, AI and graphic management.</li>\n <li>Projecting instead of doing everything as ideas pop from brain</li>\n </ul>\n <p>That&#8217;s much it, and again I wish you all good luck, and may your fingers be swift!</p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http://ludumdare.com/compo/tag/postmortem/\" rel=\"tag\">postmortem</a></p>", "time": "December 16th, 2012 6:23 am", "title": "Postmortem of “You Are The Goatman”"}
