It was a lot of fun and quite tiring. Though I love to make games sometimes it\u2019s difficult to find motivation or even, sometimes, you have so many ideas you end up not doing any of them. Just like with writer\u2019s I think the best advice is to just write anything, or, in my case,<strong> just make a game.<\/strong>\u00a0And LD is perfect for that.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" id=\"attachment_260059\" style=\"width: 310px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/survive-2013-04-28-03-48-31-63.png\"><img alt=\"The first steps\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-260059\" height=\"168\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/survive-2013-04-28-03-48-31-63-300x168.png\" width=\"300\"\/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The first steps<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I choose a project that would challenge me as a coder, so I went for 3D in almost pure C++\/OGL. It would have been very easy to do this game with Unity and probably it would have been a better, more complete game. But that wouldn\u2019t have been any fun to create for me, and in the end that\u2019s what I wanted (quite selfish, I know). I think the result was not that bad and the comments have been very constructive. After all interaction with others creators is the best part of LD.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignright\" id=\"attachment_260058\" style=\"width: 310px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/survive-2013-05-20-19-22-11-73.png\"><img alt=\"the result\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-260058\" height=\"168\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/survive-2013-05-20-19-22-11-73-300x168.png\" width=\"300\"\/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">the result<\/p><\/div>\n<p>But the real reason for this post was to share a post compo version of my game <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-26\/?action=preview&amp;uid=22520\">Please Survive<\/a>. Just polishes it a bit, adds obviously missing features like collision with enemies and a few new effects.
