…But I managed to finish it, and seems to play pretty well.

Quite a weekend! I was pleased to get a good night’s sleep last night.

I had fun, was a great experience trying to code a game from scratch in 48 hours. You definitely have to keep your discipline; I worked right up to the deadline, and did an all-nighter the second day. I think I did overscope a little, so had very little time for playtesting or polish. (or being able to improve on my placeholder art!)

My game is a turn-based strategy RPG. Very similar to the “Shining Force” series of games, but there’s no ‘force’; it’s just you, on your own.

Here’s my entry page:

And here’s a direct link to play the game in your browser:

I recorded a timelapse video, kept a journal, and will writeup a postmortem too. I’ll post them all here, once they’re ready.

Cheers!
