ludum dare so awesome!<\/p>\n
[\/stextbox]<\/p>\n
This is the fourth time I\u2019ve participated on a Ludum Dare, but the first going solo. It was a big challenge as I would have to make everything and I wouldn\u2019t have the support of an awesome team.<\/p>\n
First Day<\/b><\/p>\n

The first night I was preparing myself with some beers and something to eat, just anxious about the theme. Once the theme was announced I was a bit disappointed, I wanted afterlife to be the chosen one, but at the end an artist is formed by challenging him self.<\/p>\n
I spent about 5 hours trying to figure out a game, I made a lot of prototypes which at the end I discarded. Finally I decided to use a very old idea I had, even before I could actually program. I thought the mechanic was very minimalistic, so I just went for it.<\/p>\n
The result of that first 4 hours was this :<\/p>\n
http:\/\/shin.cl\/ld26\/<\/a><\/p>\n A very simple version of my actual game which had the core mechanic.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Second Day<\/b><\/p>\n The second day was a bit easier for me as I already had an idea, now it was just about polishing and adding more features, at least that\u2019s what I thought first.<\/p>\n As the hours passed I was getting \u00a0a more robust game, I\u2019ve already added some new levels ( you could actually play with more than just 1 core ) and a couple of effects ( particles and some reduction affect on the cores ).<\/p>\n At the end of the day I just decided to submit my game to ludum dare, saying \u201cyeah it\u2019s playable\u201d plus I thought It would be great to get some feedback before the deadline.<\/p>\n This was the first version of the game I submitted:<\/p>\n http:\/\/shin.cl\/ld26\/02\/<\/a><\/p>\n After that I just went to bed wishing the best for my game.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Third Day<\/strong><\/p>\n After sleeping 4 hours I decided to watch how my game was doing on the comments. Great ideas as many errors and ideas were mentioned. I was skeptical about making does changes, but after more comments I noticed it was mentioned very commonly. Then it\u2019s when I decided to just make the changes and added moving cores, this was the result:<\/p>\n http:\/\/apps.monkeycoder.co.nz\/249\/1\/html5\/MonkeyGame.php?width=800&height=640<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n I needed to give my game a name, so I just looked at my cat and thought why not call it like him. I like my cat!<\/p>\n origin of the name!<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Last Day<\/strong><\/p>\n The last day I only slept for 3 hours. Fortunately my friend, with whom I am developing indie games, told me to take the day to recover myself. I didn\u2019t do that so I decided to keep working on the game. With just 10 minutes left to submit my game I sent my final version which included a couple of fixes and more enemies. I thought that would have made it a better game.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n![\"Snapshot_20130504_1\"](\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Snapshot_20130504_1-300x225.jpg\")
