My game turned out to be not really fun, and not how I would have liked it to have played. Here are the reasons it is bad:
Presentation sucks – no typewriter effect of typing out text, no sounds, looks bad, not neat at all
Story line was weak and clichéd at points. I came up with it on Saturday morning and I think it’s actually quite a good premise, but I’ve never really written a story out in full before, only concept and high level overviews, so writing dialog was new for me. I also didn’t do nearly as many story point branches as I wanted to so that really mean that…
It’s basically linear and there’s not any really good endings. I put in about one ending, but I had thought of about 4-5 different ways the story could have gone.
The code was , but I learnt how hard it is to get some things to display that I normally take for granted such as simple boxes and getting text to wrap.
I think in future LDs I’ll stick to Multimedia Fusion 2 because I am very experienced with it and I know I can make games very quickly.
Overall, an interesting experience and I’m sure my C++ skills improved. I’d be impressed if anyone found my game entertaining for more than 3 minutes and 37 seconds. Even that might be stretching it!
