\"post<\/p>\n

Hello everyone !\nThis time in this very last post-mortem, we\u2019ll share with you some of the features we could implement if we had more time.\nif you played Tropic Warrior<\/a> once, you should have noticed the poor firing frequency of our hero\u2019s gun.<\/p>\n

In the beginning, we imagined the game could have be played either using sneaking or using destructive means<\/strong>. The sneaky approach would have been centered around chest powers and shadows.\nAlas the course of the LD was slightly disrupted by personnal life event so we had to fallback on a more \u201cefficient\u201d way to finish the game\u2026 So we fell back into heavy gunning mode only.<\/p>\n

\"bonus<\/p>\n

\"Burnnn\"\nYeah, too bad we could\u2019nt add the Flame trower, we could use it to burn some fellows !\nAnd what about the minigun, the same gun as the final boss !<\/p>\n

\"boom\"\nAt last but not least, the bomb, like in the game we were inspired about Ikari Warrior<\/a>, we would liked to explose some foe with one shot !<\/p>\n

In the end, they roughly were implemented but it was impossible to finalize a balanced level design with them in time. <\/p>\n

To sum up the experience :<\/p>\n

What Went Wrong : <\/strong>\n-Time went missing a lot !\n-Exploding the theme more or less\u2026\n-Half the gameplay we wished\n-Being separated form Gyhyom made the development difficult\n<\/em><\/p>\n

What Went Right : <\/strong>\n-We finished it !\n-Using tiled what pretty cool.\n-Graphic are cute.\n-Coding was easy in that good old flash using a temporary bitmap.\n-The chest gameplay actually works\u2026\n<\/em><\/p>\n

The ludum dare is truly an amazing experience : hope, regrets, achievement, success, failure, all in one week-end\u2026 Hopefully, holidays are near !<\/p>\n

Thank you all, see you soon tropic pirates ! GGGGGrrrrrr<\/strong>\n\"Thanks<\/p>\n
