I had to fix the lag in my game so people would play it to the end. I also found out I had not tiled a part of the level, making it impossible to reach the end. I fixed all of that and it’s again in the competition. The lag is still present, yet, not so much.<\/p>\n

For the actual game, I received a lot of positive feedback! Thanks to everyone who played, it is a great first Ludum Dare for me.<\/p>\n

What I did right<\/strong><\/p>\n

People praised the game for the graphics, and I felt really proud of them. I think they create a good mood.<\/p>\n

The engine felt really nice to play.<\/p>\n

The ideia and realisation is almost all in the game.<\/p>\n

What I did wrong<\/strong><\/p>\n

I only worked for less than 20 hours on this.<\/p>\n

The level design isn’t that fun and challenging, and it didn’t convey the exploration part of the game I wanted it to be.<\/p>\n

It was the first time I made such a large room, and I really can’t find the problem for it to lag over time.<\/p>\n

Music was repetitive, but it was my first time creating music, and I wanted to create a music that evolved.<\/p>\n

Anyway, it was a nice experience. Play the game!\u00a0http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-24\/?action=preview&uid=14205<\/a><\/p>","time":"August 28th, 2012 6:39 am","title":"FLOWERBOT Post Mortem, Lag Fix and update"}
