First\u00a0I started by making quick prototype using scripts I already had from my previous games.
\n After getting basic zombie AI and player script working I moved to drawing sprites.
\n Player needed to rotate around, so I had to use 12×26 sprites size insted of my usual 8×8.
\n I tried to use color combinations I learned from drawing manga.
\n \"Player
\n I didn’t have any idea how to draw walk cycle from isometric perspective, so I sticked to simple animation.
\n For some reason I decided to use unity animation system.
\n Considering how much time I spend on turning off settings that break pixel art animations and setting up animator tree it wasn’t a good decision.

\n Then I added two additional enemy types: one that follow player and shoot him when he’s close enough and turret.
\n Score system was very easy to impement, I wish I spent a little more time on it and add\u00a0some animations or effects.<\/p>\n

After that I drew a simple enemy sprite.
\n I though that I will differentiate enemies by adding color variations, but it didn’t looked right so every one of them looks the same.
\n (Another thing I didn’t do for no reason and now I regret it.)
\n Remembering how sterile my previous games looked I added few things lying on the floor.
\n If I had some more time I would add script placing them randomly but the deadline was looming and the game still wasn’t fully functional<\/p>\n

\n Next few hours I spent on setting up UI panels.
\n Thanks to TheNumberGuy I didn’t have to struggle with music, so I just generated a few sounds using bfxr.
\n I playtested game, tweaked few values quickly and uploaded it on itch.io and ludum dare.
\n I still had some time until deadline, but it was already past midnight and I was afraid I will do something stupid or just fall asleep on my keyboard.<\/p>\n

What went well:<\/b>
\n The game doesn’t have any horrible bugs, everything works and I really like the final look of it.<\/p>\n

What went wrong:<\/b>
\n Adding a few details would help the game a lot.
\n I wish I added some kind of shop, bonuses or weapon variation to keep players longer in game.
\n Also the game feels very ordinary, it is just a top down shooter.
\n Seeing all of the other ludum dare games I noticed that adding a little twist to game, makes it much more outstanding and interesting.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/b>
\n I won’t probably continue developing this game but it was a nice opportunity to quickly test my skills, experiment a little and deploy game in small\u00a0amount of time.<\/p>\n
