Submitted with over 2 hours to spare! In fact, I was much more pushed for time on this one than I was on the last one I did, mainly I think because evolution is such a rich theme to work with! So glad it won at long last.

At this stage, I have to say I’m very pleased with how it went. Not everything went right of course. The game is much less polished than I had hoped and I had to strip out several features I would have liked. However overall, I think I did everything I came here to do. Although it was my third LD, it still had lots of firsts for me. This is the first time I have ever worked with Flash or Flixel and I have to say that I’m very impressed. I also actually managed to post stuff during the competition this time! And, this is the first time I’ve created some sounds effects & a basic soundtrack to go with my game as well. So all in all, everything a LD should be; lots learnt and lots of fun!

I should also add here the tools that I ended up using but didn’t mention in my first post. Those were tIDE for the tilemap, sfxr for sound effects & Aviary Music Creator for the soundtrack. Oh and WinLAME to convert everything from wav format because apparently as3 only supports mp3 or something…

Well, thanks everyone and I look forwards to playing your games over the coming days and weeks! Sleep time!
