Where is mommy - Postmortem

Hey fellow gamedevs,

We are a team of four German students (Faithcaio (@faithcaio), pschichtel (@pschichtel), jQnas (@jqnas), and Rahtainka (@rahtainka)) and we name ourselves Banana4Life.

We have developed the game Where is mommy for the fifth ludum dare we took part in.

I personally think it's our best entry so far.

What went right?
  • The game is playable and we noticed no bugs so far
  • We all met up at one place and were really productive
  • We have decided to take part only as a core team (4 persons) and have done more and a better game than the last time with 7 persons
  • We slept a reasonable amount of time (and weren’t completely destroyed after the weekend)
  • We used Unity with Git this time instead of Unity Collab
  • We had even time left at the end and it was all very relaxed
  • We had a lot of fun
What went wrong?
  • We had some problems with the movement controller
What we want to do better?
  • I think we could improve our streaming setup (this time we had some troubles with our streaming server and had no webcam and no microphone)
My personal thoughts

In our team I'm responsible for the music and the sound and my goals were to create the right mood with the background music and sounds and to write and record my second self written song. I think the first goal I well fulfilled and the self written song for the credits I wrote and record in the last five hours. So for this amount of time it has become good. I am very proud of the heartbeat sound which I have made myself completely.

Until the next Ludum Dare I would like to make more music to get more practice with Logic X Pro and recording stuff. Because I have noticed that I get better with every Ludum Dare but only deal with it during the gamejam and I think more practice can never hurt.

P.S.: For the self written song you have to finish the game. It isn't on soundcloud yet :wink:

My mum make a playthrough on YouTube!

Hey guys!

My mother is probably our biggest fan and makes with her 55 years Let's plays. Also from our game. I have the last few days bothered to provide the video with English subtitles.

Have a look at it so that the effort has paid off. (I can tell you it was a lot of work :wink: ) And be kind to my mum.

You can also play and rate our game. :heart:

I need YOUR help!

Hey guys!

I have a small bet with one of our developers. I must get at least five additional reviews for our game in the next four hours. (If I win I get somthing I want :wink:)

Big problem: I'm at work right now :worried:

I promise you I'll play and rate your game when I'm at home.

My second selfwritten song!

Hey guys,

first of all I have to say I am an huge portal fan and I love the credit songs! So I decided to write a credit song for each game we make. If there is enough time. This time it was and I wrote and record in the last four hours a song for our game.

I am sure that not everyone play our game until the end and because of that some people don't hear the song. In the comments I got almost no feedback. Therefore I make this blogpost. I would like to get a little bit more feedback. Is it so bad that only one mentioned it? Or do you think that it's unusual or bad to make a song for the credits?

I'm not 100 percent satisfied with it, because I had a sore throat and have to sing quiet because it was very late and I'm a bit shy and did not want the others to hear me sing. (I know it's ridiculous... But you can't imagine how much overcoming this costs me each time to add and publish a song to the game)

Enough of words. Here is my song:

We are in!

Hey guys,

we are a little team from Germany and this is our 7. Ludum Dare. Due to the time difference, we only started 3 hours ago. And we overlooked the example and decided to make a round based racing game. 😄

We decided in advance to make either a battle royal game or a racing game because we wanted to do an AI again.

We wish you success and a lot of fun!

Finally done!

Hey guys,

I've just released our game and am happy to go to bed now. My alarm rings in 5 hours ... But I'm looking forward to playing your games and streaming them the next days. I will post a post-mortem tomorrow.

A hint even for people who work with Unity and wonder why the WebGL version made with Unity 2017.4 doesn't work:

That cost us at least two hours today. Maybe it will help one of you.

Good night! ♥️
