Roughly, I spent\u00a0Saturday\u00a0morning brainstorming, Saturday afternoon\u00a0and Sunday morning coding, and Sunday afternoon working on graphics.<\/p>\n
Code-wise, I finally forced myself to use a framework, instead of\u00a0writing a mess of jquery + lots of <div>s. I used Phaser, which was great when it did when I wanted, and frustrating when it didn\u2019t (mostly because I learned the framework as I went, not such a great idea). I\u2019ll try and take the time to learn more about it before next LD!\u00a0(but\u00a0that\u2019s what I tell myself every time, and\u00a0know I won\u2019t).<\/p>\n
For the graphics, I decided not to do pixel art for the first time. So I started with a pen and paper, and\u00a0drew\u00a0the main character of my game: Godzilla. I wanted it to be cute, to add a tiny bit of depth to the game\u00a0(you\u2019re Godzilla, you\u2019re the monster\u2026\u00a0but are you really? maybe the humans are?)<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what came out.<\/p>\n

I then used photoshop and\u00a0an old\u00a0tablet to draw over my sketch.<\/p>\n
I needed to make a walking animation, and\u00a0it\u00a0was my first time making any animation, so I wasn\u2019t sure I would be able to do this.\u00a0But I\u2019m really proud of the result!<\/p>\n Overall, I\u2019m\u00a0very happy with my Godzilla, the rest of the graphics are a bit messy and the gameplay is so-so, but at least I finished another game and it\u2019s always a great feeling!<\/p>\n Final tidbit, the title of the game comes from the\u00a0song of the first stage of Sonic Adventure Time 2<\/a>.<\/p>","time":"September 13th, 2015 4:15 am","title":"Making of \u201cEscape From The City\u201d","title_was_empty":false}![\"scared\"](\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/scared1.gif\")
