I woke up, see the theme and returned to sleep.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">The morning (I woke up early) I had a super idea, perfect fit to the theme, make a space paperboy where papers were weapons too! (to see what is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iQRa7_KeiqY\">paperboy<\/a> ) (amstrad version because I had an amstrad). After two hours, I had a revelation: I don\u2019t know make cool space ship. I returned to bed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">After that I was sad. I decided to make a point n click and made some sketch. But new problem: I don\u2019t know write in english (a friend was agree to correct some text, but a point n\u2019 click is a lot of text\u2026). Sad again.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">But there was a sketch I liked: an inspector and a lot of suspects aligned (as in the poster of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0114814\/\">Usual suspects<\/a>). And it was, finally, the good start\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/ld30dunin2.jpg\"><img alt=\"ld30dunin2\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-383284\" height=\"89\" src=\"\/data\/posts\/2014\/09\/3a5a234bd86bd914987aaf44e9edfbef.jpg\" width=\"300\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">What went right:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">- the idea: it isn\u2019t perfect, but I played with some friends and always had fun.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">- good warm up: I use two things I had never used. phaser (because <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-29\/?action=preview&amp;uid=18803\">gre<\/a> was used it) and sunVox (because <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-29\/?action=preview&amp;uid=3933\">jsmars<\/a> was used it). I only had 3 days to warm up, but I don\u2019t had problems with it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">- I had time: I finish the game early and take time to add some suspects. No stresse. Cool.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">- animations: I have a lot of fun with animations: try to make different ways of walking was fun. And suspects are really differents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">- the music: it isn\u2019t good, but it was my first try so I\u2019m just happy to have try.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">- it\u2019s a two players game: I like two players game.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/police.gif\"><img alt=\"police\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-390739\" height=\"80\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/police.gif\" width=\"42\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">What went wrong:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">- the theme: Connecting worlds made me think about the mafia: different people from differents \u201cworlds\u201d (I don\u2019t know if it works in english, in french we can call social class \u201cworld\u201d) but secretly connected. After that I stopped worrying about it. Finally, it wasn\u2019t a good idea\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">- focus problem: I try to correct a difficulty of the game (the focus of the inspector was changing too fast), and I made it more difficult (now it\u2019s more hard to change it).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">- rules: I don\u2019t know write rules. The game is simple why my rule explanations are so long?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">- settings menu: I had time, but I prefered make more characters than polish my game. So the settings menu is bad (nobody understood that we can choose the number of suspects\u2026)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">- it\u2019s a two players game: it\u2019s hard to have a friend near to you when you play at ludum dare games (and I already make the mistake in my previous LD with the copain team); I made an AI so you can play the inspector. But this isn\u2019t the same (and the better (most stressful) is to play the Godfather)\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\"><a href=\"\/data\/posts\/2014\/09\/7ee6ae3472b445395ef96156d66bb706.png\"><img alt=\"persos0002\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-390740\" height=\"80\" src=\"\/data\/posts\/2014\/09\/7ee6ae3472b445395ef96156d66bb706.png\" width=\"42\"\/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/persos0011.png\"><img alt=\"persos0011\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-390741\" height=\"80\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/persos0011.png\" width=\"42\"\/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/persos0020.png\"><img alt=\"persos0020\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-390742\" height=\"80\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/persos0020.png\" width=\"42\"\/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/persos0029.png\"><img alt=\"persos0029\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-390743\" height=\"80\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/persos0029.png\" width=\"42\"\/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/persos0047.png\"><img alt=\"persos0047\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-390744\" height=\"80\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/persos0047.png\" width=\"42\"\/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/persos0056.png\"><img alt=\"persos0056\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-390745\" height=\"80\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/persos0056.png\" width=\"42\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">If I made a post-compo it will be:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">- with more suspects!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">- with a complice (simple idea to make the game harder for the inspector: a second character lies, but is idiot: he just say the opposite of what he should say)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">- with a better focus system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">- with a better menu.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">- with asking someone a good music.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-30\/?action=preview&amp;uid=32902\">play Everybody knows where the Godfather is<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;margin: 0px\">(and sorry for the bad english\u2026)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p><\/p><\/p><\/p>","time":"September 1st, 2014 11:27 am","title":"Everybody knows where the Post mortem is","title_was_empty":false}
