I was confused when the two themes where announced because I am\u00a0a regular twitch spectator of Ludum Dare&#8217;s video and it is the first time I saw<br \/>\n this happening.\u00a0So instead of restricting myself to both themes,\u00a0I just throw one away (two\u00a0button controls) although I saw great games these past two weeks that used\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5\">well the combination of the two themes.<\/span><\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <ul>\n <li>The preparation. I used Unity5 for the first time. Yet I should have premade\u00a0some basecode and that was not the case. I could have concentrate more on\u00a0content than coding.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <ul>\n <li>\u00a0The scope. Like last year I targeted too many content (and you can feel it\u00a0when playing the game).<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p><strong>What went right<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>\u00a0Wow, finally a _game_ from scratch made by myself. Felt so good !<\/li>\n <li>\u00a0Worked all week-end, from 8 AM Saturday to 3 AM Monday with 12 hours of sleep (Paris timezone makes\u00a0the Ludum Dare starts at 3 AM Saturday).<\/li>\n <li>\u00a0Feedbacks were awsome! I decided to continue and make a post-compo version.\u00a0I would love to keep it as a long-term project with constant updates.<br \/>\n Here&#8217;s a screenshot.
