Well I made it through my first Ludum Dare with something resembling a game, which was more than I expected when I started.<\/p>\n

Overall I didn’t dedicate enough time to it due to various real-life issues that came up, but for the time I spent i’m happy with the end result, especially the art, which for me was a big challenge as I really never do my own art for whatever reason. The super low-res art style is really fun to play with, animation has to be really short and easy because of the limited space involved. I’m not really that coherent at the moment but apart from having no sound, no timelapse, barely any updating (basically all the things I wanted to do right but were ultimately cast aside) and only one incredibly short level, i’m happy with the result and getting into the correct mindset to produce prototypes this fast.<\/p>\n

Anyway enough of that, go check out my game Every Man Is An Island!<\/p>\n
