Firstly I just want to say THANKS to the whole Ludum Dare community! This was my first challenge and it has been an amazing experience. Thanks for all your support and advice it has been invaluable. And congrats to everyone that completed the challenge its an amazing feat!!<\/p>\n

Zombie Tales isn\u2019t complete, but I\u2019m still aiming for a $0.99 Alpha release before Christmas. And I\u2019ll still be bloggind my progress (not necessairly daily) at www.zombietales.net<\/a>\u00a0but in the meantime here is a mini breakdown of my Ludum Dare.\n\"\"\n<\/a>1st October \u2013 This was after the first day of coding and I could shoot some white boxes.<\/p>\n

\"\"\n<\/a>7th October \u2013 BloodHUD. I had pretty much sorted my weapon control and got my Zombies hurting me during that week.<\/p>\n

\"\"\n<\/a>15th October \u2013 Spent the whole week porting across the level editor and getting the HUD working on an iPhone.<\/p>\n

\"\"\n<\/a>21st October \u2013 I got annoyed with fixing up the level editor so I spent some time on the main menu. It made a huge difference to the feel of the game.<\/p>\n

\"\"\n<\/a>29th October \u2013 After the realisation that I wasn\u2019t going to complete Oct Ludum Dare. I worked on some fun stuff in the editor like adding vehicles.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a little depressed because I didn\u2019t complete the challenge, but I\u2019m glad I got a chance to take a big chunk (about 50%) out of a project that I was going to start work on next year. And meet all the Ludum Dare participants \u2013 its been awesome!!!<\/p>\n

As for future Ludum Dares?? At the moment my brain is pretty fried but I\u2019ll definitely be throwing my hat in the ring again!! \u00a0Just not straight away \u00a0\":)\"<\/p>\n

And finally this is my favourite screenshot of the 50+ that I took during Ludum Dare<\/p>\n
