Hi ! As submissions are now over for MiniLD maybe should i post here a short debrief about what i did : I wanted to make progression \/ improvement on my current project DMS (random initials mode\u2026), and add game mechanics. I was thinking about a storyline that fitted with the back to the future stuff (super inspired nazis coming back from the dark side of the moon\u2026sorry for such bad taste)\u2026<\/p>\n

Gameplay now seems barely OK and stable to me so maybe should i yearn some feedback ? Here it is :<\/p>\n

Start the shit<\/p><\/div>\n

What was used :<\/p>\n

Game Maker Studio\nGimp\nBfxr\nAutotilegen<\/p>\n

What was planned to be used :<\/p>\n

Reaper : i didn\u2019t manage to take time for music \":(\"\nSpriter : i prefered make it low-res (320\u00d7224) for now because Spriter needs really more work\/time than i think everytime i want to use it\u2026 Or maybe am i too slow.<\/p>\n

What features were planned :<\/p>\n

Better use of test mode and level building (i spent too much time doing shit with this)<\/p>\n

Level design : i don\u2019t like game maker\u2019s level editor and i hope to have my own working soon, so pooped levels to try mechanics and stuff but time spent on it is reduced to minimum. It just shows gameplay and features, but has no polish\/real meaning. Still i enjoy destroying everything on my way and make to to game over screen so i think it may be OK. No end level but you can try to score.<\/p>\n

Art : a lot of stuff i did draw, that could explain a bit the story or get visuals more attractive, was not integrated. I like hand drawing (sorry trees) and had no time to make it low res (as i was first planning to make stuff on spriter). In the same vein, i wanted to make a short intro that was not made\u2026<\/p>\n

Music : i had ideas but recorded nothing \u2026 anyway i tried some famitracker loops but did not included in the last working version.<\/p>\n

That was a good concept, too bad i did not make a new game from scratch, because now that it\u2019s over i think about ideas i could have made with it, and something fresh would have been great. The reason i did not make something this way is probably because i\u2019m a bit stressed with making something out of my project, on wich i spend too much time. Now, after + or \u2013 6 month fulltime learning GML\u00a0 (i said goodbye to slavery for a time\u2026) by myself, i\u2019ll try to slow down a bit, maybe i\u2019ll better find some shitty work for food ; i don\u2019t want with too much hope to alienate myself, but i need feedback on what i\u2019m making because i still do hope to release a good stuff someday,stuff that people will know and enjoy to play. But i may go right through the wall with a smile if nobody tells me that i\u2019m building a useless shit that will lead me nowhere.<\/p>\n

Sorry for being boring, that came from the heart \":)\" Cheers !<\/p>\n
