Maybe I&#8217;ll build a fullscale (?) flash game based on this, and sell it for iPhone. Then move to bermuda.<\/p>\n <p>POSTMORTEM &#8211; What went right:<br \/>\n &#8211; Rule system for the crew was\/is awesome.<br \/>\n &#8211; Flixel is great! Perfect for a compo like this, although I didn&#8217;t use too much of it&#8230;<br \/>\n &#8211; I thought for awhile about the theme, and made a short design document with my ideas which was a great help.<br \/>\n &#8211; It&#8217;s like, -40&#8217;C in my city which is really, really cold and was helpful in finding inspiration for exploring the icy north.<\/p>\n <p>What went wrong:<br \/>\n &#8211; As usual I didn&#8217;t give myself enough time to polish it up at the end. I spent some time on features that were cut or I didn&#8217;t finish, but it could have benefited a lot from just a bit more playing.<br \/>\n &#8211; Developing on Windows wasn&#8217;t quite what I am used to. But I got quite used to FlashDevelop. I&#8217;d like to move this over to Eclipse\/Linux but figuring out how to build the AS3 stuff is just a bit tricky.<\/p>\n <p>This was fun, thanks guys!<\/p>","time":"December 13th, 2009 11:19 pm","title":"Hunters of the Northwest Passage \u2013 Finished"}
