After 10 hours, 53 minutes and 20 seconds of frantic coding due to a very late start, the Sky Fell.<\/p>\n

The servers also fell, and while I got my entry <\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0successfully last night, I left this final post for today.\u00a0My entry this time around is the most playable and complete game I’ve developed for LudumDare. I’m very pleased with how it turned out – especially seeing I started very late and didn’t put much time into it. The game looks lovely in motion, and unfortunately the grey\u00a0screenshots\u00a0don’t do it justice. Saying that, here’s a grey screenshot :<\/p>\n

I’m not entirely satisfied with the game. I had to manually program all of the particle effects, something that my previous games never needed because I had tool-set\u00a0already developed for that. The graphics turned out OK due to an amazing fluke. I bought a new camera, and played with it all the way to work and back on Saturday. When I started my LudumDare entry, I had a huge stash of photos taken during the competition period – just sitting waiting to be used. With a bit of colour correction they turned out ok, but trying to modify anything\u00a0made me miss my old Wacom Tablet. Hopefully next LD I’ll be back up and running as an artist.<\/p>\n

The game takes some practice, but it is possible to win! \u00a0Good luck in your Escape \u00a0…<\/p>\n \n
