The Crack Post-Mortem
First, thanks everyobody that commented my game, so much love in the LD community, also very constructive =).
The Crack is my second game, first was SuperJot for the last minild.
Development
Friday Night
I really get blocked with this one, in the first hours i couldn’t get any idea.. the first thing i got in my mind was this draw, while sketching something, trying to get “illuminated”:
I thought, let’s make a hand drawn game, i really love the style of those games, so i made some more sketches:
And
And
Saturday
Saturday was really frustrating, i only get the character walking to dead in the first scene.
Sunday
I woke up with only 7Hs left! i panicked.. started to draw, and draw, and put collisions, and draw.. and i got 4 functional levels, plus the end scene, with just minutes left to upload the game, make some screenshot and post in the compo.
The Results
I wanted to add more platformer style to the game, some puzzles, items to be found, characters to interact, better history telling.. but, i liked the end result, although i didn’t put so much attention to good collision or good jumps.
Maybe i’ll continue this game, i really enjoyed working on it.
