After passing out for a good 13 hours I can think\u00a0coherently! :3\nI was able to finish my game with around 6 total hours of sleep.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\nFowL Play\nLets get started with some basic pros and cons<\/p>\n

Pros<\/strong>\nI quickly picked an idea and made a prototype that FELT NICE: I made around 2-3 prototypes really quick on Constructand ditched some of the game ideas that weren\u2019t really fun to play with just boxes and cubes.\n\"\"\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Love your character. JUST LOOK AT HIM. I WANT TO CHOKE HIM WITH MY LOVE.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t sleep the last day. Surprisingly this wasn\u2019t too bad. I use to sleep on the last day, but other than feeling physically ill and hallucinating at the last hour, I got A LOT OF STUFF DONE.<\/p>\n

Talk to people. It really helps trying to be awake.<\/p>\n

Keep posting your work! I kept up with twitter and ludum dare front page with my work. It helps get some attention!\nPREVIOUS WIP 1<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0PREVIOUS WIP 2<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0PREVIOUS WIP 3<\/a><\/p>\n

Cons<\/strong>\nI did that thing again where I don\u2019t know how to code something and still went with it. (boss fight) FFFFARGGGGH<\/p>\n

Taking too damn long to draw useless things, like the weapon loading page. (it did turn out nice tho)\u00a0\u00af\\_(\u30c4)_\/\u00af\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

GUI IS HARD AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD FOR WAITING TILL THE LAST SECOND TO MAKE THEM. < just don\u2019t\nAt the last few hour crunch, you really don\u2019t have other motivation than to make more stuff for the game rather than boring gui work.<\/p>\n

Finally, I learned a lot during LD again (as usual)\nI was able to finish another cool idea that would\u2019ve just been another game in the backburner, never to be seen in daylight.\nI really think forcing one self to make these games help you as a developer.\nAs for this game, I never intended to add the sword and shield option in the early planning stage of the game just because of the scope of the leves and the bossfight.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019ll add post mortem game and keep updating via twitter and add the two weapons (maybe more) and more levels till the judging end (to give a well rounded scope)\nTILL THEN please follow me on twitter to get additional info \":)\"<\/p>\n
