This is my first time I participate in Ludum Dare. I have never made any games in such little time, but I’m glad that I got my game finish in time and take part in a contest which has 1400+ entries.<\/p>\n

This is the link to my entry, Magic House, : http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-23\/?action=preview&uid=12912<\/a><\/p>\n

After completing my entry and submitting it to the site, I found a few good things and bad things that happened while making it.<\/p>\n

What went right :<\/strong><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I got the models, game-play, level design completed the way I want it to be.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The models aren’t bad. They’re sort of acceptable.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Scripting went smoothly. There aren’t so many bugs going on.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What went wrong:<\/strong><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Run out of time : Though my entry is Jam but I didn’t have 72 hours to work on it. In fact, I had only less than 48 hours.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I planned to have too many models in the scene. I don’t want players to see the same objects every single level. And since I’m not entirely a great modeler, modeling part took lots of time.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0 No audio : I always have problem when it comes to making music. I have never worked on music before, so this part is kinda tough. Not mention, I had no time left to work on music.<\/p>\n

Though there are lots of mistakes within my first Ludum Dare, I’m glad that I take part in and learn about time management. I’m looking forward to join LDD again next time.<\/p>\n
