My first and last post for this LD48 happens to be about my game\u2019s completion! Go on over here<\/a> to see the submission page and play it.\n<\/span>\nBefore the weekend, I didn\u2019t think I\u2019d have the time for it. But I suddenly had an idea, and after a friendly reminder from Phil Hassey on IRC that it\u2019s never to late to enter, I decided I\u2019d do what I could. So, after a few struggles with mouse picking and getting the y position on a terrain grid, I gave up on both and moved on to make a game that, while using a semi-awkward control scheme and an inaccurate terrain-tracking pointer, is complete now.<\/p>\n

It was originally going to be themed on the Iceland guy, with his face on top, responding to how fast you\u2019re clearing the levels. What are now forks were originally supposed to be fists, but I couldn\u2019t figure out how to texture them that way. So now it\u2019s themed on exquisite dining rather than a Iceland-pounding rage.<\/p>\n

I had fun, no matter the result, and that\u2019s what counts, right?<\/p>","time":"April 25th, 2010 2:37 pm","title":"Finished my game!"}
