Robo Rancher Retrospective
Just finished up my submission, on time and even somewhat complete! I feel like I did pretty well for my first Ludum Dare, though I was classically short on time and long on ambitions. I had to cut a lot of features so the game’s progression doesn’t scale the way I’d envisioned, but it’s at least playable.
The game’s biggest lacks (in it’s current state) are:
- Poor progression for bots/towers
- No sound
- Inconsistent fonts and sprite resolutions (I’m not an artist)
- …and of course, a general lack of balance and polish, because I’ve barely had time to play it and tweak numbers.
Despite all that, I impressed myself with being able to turn in something reasonably complete and playable on time, that doesn’t seem to crash (fingers crossed!) and might even sometimes be… fun?
Looking forward to playing everyone else’s entries, and already thinking ahead to the next LD!
Now, I think it’s time for some R & R.
