Without the extension of the deadline it would&#8217;ve been just a row of levels with some hastily written tutorials. There are still a lot of things put in without much testing, but overall I&#8217;m quite pleased with the result, it is very close to the idea I had in mind when planning it.<\/p>\n <p>Of course not every feature I wanted to do made it in, the most obvious being the missing background music. I&#8217;m not sure if I will expand the concept and keep working on it to make it a full-fledged game &#8211; it certainly will also depend on the feedback I get &#8211; but I still have the feeling that the concept holds enough potential to keep the motivation up for a longer time (and I mean both my motivation to upgrade it and the player&#8217;s motivation to play it).<\/p>\n <p>After all, I&#8217;m really glad I decided to participate. This was my first Ludum Dare and it was really a thrilling experience. I guess it&#8217;s always easier to get something done when you know that it will have some meaning (in this case, that a lot of people will have the chance to see and play it).<\/p>\n <p>I&#8217;d like to thank everyone who played it and would really appreciate some feedback! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n <p>Kinta<\/p>\n \n <style type='text\/css'>\n #gallery-1 {\n margin: auto;\n }\n #gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n float: left;\n margin-top: 10px;\n text-align: center;\n width: 33%;\n }\n #gallery-1 img {\n border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n }\n #gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n margin-left: 0;\n }\n \/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n <\/style>\n <div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-70330 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n <dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n <a href='http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/2011\/08\/23\/gtfo-the-game-afterthoughts\/screenshot101-23\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/screenshot1015-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"screenshot101\" \/><\/a>\n <\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n <dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n <a href='http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/2011\/08\/23\/gtfo-the-game-afterthoughts\/screenshot102-17\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/screenshot1023-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"screenshot102\" \/><\/a>\n <\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n <dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n <a href='http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/2011\/08\/23\/gtfo-the-game-afterthoughts\/screenshot103-13\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/screenshot1033-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"screenshot103\" \/><\/a>\n <\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n <dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n <a href='http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/2011\/08\/23\/gtfo-the-game-afterthoughts\/screenshot104-11\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/screenshot1041-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"screenshot104\" \/><\/a>\n <\/dt><\/dl>\n <br style='clear: both' \/>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/ld21\/\" rel=\"tag\">LD21<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/postmortem\/\" rel=\"tag\">postmortem<\/a><\/p>","time":"August 23rd, 2011 5:50 am","title":"GTFO \u2013 The Game (afterthoughts)"}
