Yesterday, I released my first Ludum Dare game.<\/p>\n

I just need to say, that was an AWESOME experience for me!!! Lots of self-brainstormings, programming and soundwork in a small amount of time! After doing all this you feel like you are the MAN!<\/p>\n

In the first day, as all of you, I was thinking about idea. The first was 2D-Zombie-Shooter-with-lots-of-guns-poweups-everywhere-particle-system-and-lots-of-beautiful-stuff. After 10 minutes of coding idea was banned. This situation repeats with other 3 ideas until I decided to make simple, intuitive platformer.<\/p>\n

That’s it! The 1st day was over and code is ready for construct levels and modificate parametres of enemies.<\/p>\n

The 2nd day dipped me into creative parts of the game: graphics, sounds and music. Great tools such as Grafx2, sfxr and FL Studio help me with this artistic mess.<\/p>\n

At the 2nd part of the last day game was ready for test and release. When I submit my work and look throgh the other games on the Ludum Dare site I felt a great sence that I become a part of something bigger than just my one little awful game “Rob this tiny world!”.<\/p>\n

Primarily, this is a challenge for yourself and others. The growth of yourself and others. Score your own abilities. And I think everyone who like game development and who is a part of it must pass this competition.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading this stupid post.<\/p>\n

Good luck to everyone!)<\/p>\n
