What didnt go so well:<\/span><\/p>\n – I really had trouble with the theme. My mind keep going to zombie and ‘last man standing’ games but I didnt really want to make one of those. I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to make … I had a game idea in my mind and on paper but it ended up being too complicated to get enough of the core mechanics working well enough to make it fun. I ended up chopping out almost all of the unique little obstacles and traps that I didn’t have time to get right.<\/p>\n
– My time management was poor. I got lost in time experimenting on a couple of FX \/ textures … meh at least it was fun! And I also lost a lot of time to pre-commitments and my little bubba Claire!\u00a0 I had a work Christmas party on the Saturday night…. doesn’t mix too well with game dev.<\/p>\n
– Sleep + eating habits: Next time I’ll be making more time to sleep and follow my usual eating habits rather than disregarding sleep and eating junk at the computer.<\/p>\n
– I probably needed to make a game that wasn’t so content driven. An even more abstract and simplified idea would have been better.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Summary:<\/span><\/p>\n Looking forward to the next one!!! Bring it!<\/p>\n
