Postmortem and playthrough of our game "Lousy Life Lessons - [LLL]"

Since this time we focused more on story than usual, we made a playthrough video for the folks who aren't that much into 2D Platformers.

Postmortem: It was the first time we made a platformer in Unity and because of weird physics behaviour, we decided to code the movement and collision of the platformer with a simple raycast system. This turned out to be a little bit more complicated than we thought and a few bugs crept into the game.

Sadly the animations are are bit buggy sometimes and the backgrounds for 2 levels are missing but apart from that, we managed it to finish the game in time.

We decided to make a postjam version of the game, with all bugs fixed and all assets placed. We will upload it as soon as it's ready.

So here is what we managed to get done: - Gamepad support!!! (A functions like the spacebar) - Added a "skip" button for the cutscenes - "Retry" can now be triggered with "Anykey" - A few general bug fixes - general improvement of platformer mechanic, especially jumping of ledges should be less frustrating now - adjusted some frustrating colliders - Improved camera movement. It now moves in the direction the player is facing - Tutorialscreens will now be disabled after a few tries - Added screenshake when dying - Improved some audio transitions - Improved a few UI animations - Music will be played with lower volume while dialog is playing
