I submitted my science-fiction platformer with super powers:<\/p>\n

Now, this was rough. Instead of overestimating the project like last time, this time I highly underestimated how time-consuming it is:<\/p>\n

1. to write \u00a0a platforming engine in Game Maker,<\/p>\n

2. to design levels that make sense (the game ended up being just one level),<\/p>\n

3. to implement an engaging story,<\/p>\n

4. to relate everything to the theme<\/p>\n

This morning (or technically yesterday’s morning), I actually thought I would have to give up. I had nothing but a small set of working mechanics without any ideas how to use them effectively. The great plans I made at the start turned out to be absolutely utopian. But after an hour of thinking or so, I finally started working on the actual game. I will probably post a lengthier post-mortem as soon as I’ve had some sleep.<\/p>\n

have fun, Khayet<\/p>","time":"August 26th, 2012 6:31 pm","title":"Submitted \u201cA New Kind of Man\u201d!"}
