The final name is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-19\/?action=preview&amp;uid=2034\">Discover the name<\/a> (never changed it to discover the way).<\/p>\n <p>I started the game with not too much time for the compo and I released a unpolished and unbalanced version but I already read some good comments for the game. For the jam, with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/author\/ruben01\/\">friend<\/a>, we improved it a bit, because we felt the game worth the time, so people could play a better game.<\/p>\n <p>In the end, there are three versions of the game, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gemserk.com\/ludumdare\/ld48-19-discoverthename\/launch-webstart.jnlp\">competition version<\/a>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gemserk.com\/ludumdare\/ld48-19-jam-discoverthename\/launch-webstart.jnlp\">jam version<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gemserk.com\/prototipos\/discoverthename-release\/launch-webstart.jnlp\">latest stable development version<\/a>. If we think the game has to be continued, the last one is the version that will be modified.<\/p>\n <p>I have also added a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=frgMcwtBE1A\">timelapse<\/a> video for the game (had to remove the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1Kv6msPTLgA\">gameplay<\/a> video from the game page because I lack of links in the form).<\/p>\n <p>Remember, you could also go to our <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.gemserk.com\/\">blog<\/a> to see more games and stuff.<\/p>\n <p>Now, a mini postmortem:<\/p>\n <p>What went wrong:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Game idea came on sunday, miss one day of development, cant force imagination<\/li>\n <li>Competition version is not balanced it right<\/li>\n <li>Level editor is hidden and not explained<\/li>\n <li>Few levels<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>What went right:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Made a level editor provided an easy way to make a lot of levels, but&#8230; (last point on previous list)<\/li>\n <li>Movement feels right, a bit to sensitive, but based on a right idea<\/li>\n <li>Webstart platform, really really like to have an online available to all version from the beginning, to test, get feedback, etc.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>Well, I cant think more pros and cons.<\/p>\n <p>Enjoy the game.<\/p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/compo\/\" rel=\"tag\">compo<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/final\/\" rel=\"tag\">final<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/postmortem\/\" rel=\"tag\">postmortem<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/progress\/\" rel=\"tag\">progress<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/timelapse\/\" rel=\"tag\">timelapse<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/update\/\" rel=\"tag\">update<\/a><\/p>","time":"December 21st, 2010 6:49 am","title":"Discover The Name \u2013 postmortem or something"}
