Choices of planes? What is this, variety?!

So anyway I actually finished my game! First Import (terrible, terrible name, really) is pretty much feature-complete, except Air Carriers are worthless (they’re supposed to have mini-planes that do your bidding, oh well), and missiles/plane control is a bit quirky. All in all, I actually have a bit of fun playing it, though, and I think that’s a good thing. As I was submitting it the only thing I could think of was all the glaring flaws and cut corners to make it playable, but really that’s just how it is. My original idea just wouldn’t fit in 48 hours! Also, I’m pretty tired now and really should get to bed as I have a class early in the morning tomorrow.

Overall though, this has been really great. This sort of counts as my first actual complete game, though I’ve been working on other things for just over a year and a half now (I have more about them at my blog: http://ixineering.tumblr.com, if you’re curious) they really aren’t playable quite yet. I also have some 25gb worth of .png’s for a timelapse that I’ll go through this week and put somewhere on the internet if anyone wants to watch.

I’ll go through a proper post-mortem in a few days when I’m more awake and can go through what I just did this weekend in a more logical manner.
