It\u2019s been a while since LD#28 and I finally finished the post-compo version of my game. I\u2019ve been planning to write here about it, but I wanted to do so after writing a postmortem\u2026 Well, since I don\u2019t see myself writing it any time soon, here it is:<\/p>\n

Click to play<\/p><\/div>\n

If you remember this game, it was called \u201cTwo options\u2026\u201d. Quite a literal name, given the \u201cstory\u201d in the game. But for this version, I\u2019ve modified way too many things to call it the same way. Before, the game was about wanting to save both people at the end of the dungeon, though you could only save on (bad use of the theme, naming and idea overall\u2026. =X).<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s a game about exploring a dungeon and finding the one treasure you want. You could try to get another treasure, but you\u2019ll only be able to bring back one! (not quite the use of the theme, but much better than the previous one). Other then that, I also fixed many bugs: the graphics don\u2019t turn into a ladder frame randomly, you stand atop ladders, spikes kill only from above, and many others I can\u2019t remember anymore.<\/p>\n

But most of all modifications, while this game had as few as 9 (or 10\u2026 I don\u2019t remember really well) levels, this new version has 35 new levels! It\u2019s something I\u2019m really proud, since I\u2019ve never made anything so big. Also, since many people said the game was hard (and a friend said the game could be harder)\u2026 I tried up the difficulty\u2026 quite a lot. XD There\u2019s a death counter, which at first had only two digits\u2026 after testing with other people (and myself), I\u2019ve changed to four digits (though no one needed more than three, so far). I tried to make it get harder slowly, though\u2026<\/p>\n

\"...<\/a>

There are this many levels, now\u2026<\/p><\/div>\n

One thing that annoyed me a lot was the music. It was, as the ones from my entries since LD#26, way to generic\u2026 it didn\u2019t feel right to me. Now the game has 9 (short) tracks and it sounds much better overall. There\u2019s still room for improvement (like the intro and the second song), but I\u2019m quite happy with how it sounds now.<\/p>\n

I ended writing a sort of postmortem thing\u2026 cool! Thanks if you\u2019ve read this far and, if you haven\u2019t yet, way not give it a try<\/a>? \":)\"<\/p>\n

(and if you did play it, feedback is always welcomed! I\u2019m planning to expand it\u2026 sometime\u2026)<\/p>","time":"April 6th, 2014 6:37 pm","title":"\u201cTwo Options\u2026\u201d post-compo: [insert long title here]","title_was_empty":false}
