Well, it’s been a few good days but unfortunately the fatigue got to me. The basic framework and mechanic had been set for my gravity-less space platformer, “Nothing But Stars,” and all it needed was some content to add variety and difficulty. I had planned to do that today, but my body had other plans. With what little time I was left with after awaking, I fixed up the last bit of code, added a “sorry!” message at the end, and got the game in with 45 minutes to spare.<\/p>\n

Here’s the game in all its glory:\u00a0http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-22\/?action=preview&uid=5193<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m not happy I didn’t finish, it feels like a bit of a failure. I am, however, pretty proud of what I did come up with. I decided to push myself as a game dev with this one, and I think my game is fairly technically impressive. It just doesn’t have all the gameplay to it I’d hoped it would. I was also able to crank out some music last night with my brand new M-Audio Oxygen 49 keyboard, something I’ve never done for a game before.<\/p>\n

All in all, this LD leaves me bitter-sweet. I had fun and learned a lot though, and that’s what really counts.<\/p>\n

Until next time…<\/p>","time":"December 18th, 2011 6:29 pm","title":"Not quite finished, but submitted \u2013 Nothing But Stars"}
