I had all these ideas that I couldn't do because of how little I had time to work on the game.\r\n\r\nThe second was porting. I tried, but JSIL and SilverSprite did not like my VS 2013 setup. Next time, hopefully by the next one I can get it working.\r\n\r\nWhat went right:\r\n\r\nThe planning stage. I had spent 30 minutes on planning until it hit me that the best idea I had were the connected worlds of the work life, and the life life.\r\n\r\nThe coding. It was all pretty straight forward. No fancy stuff, nothing that would overexert me. Also, it was really fun.\r\n\r\nTalking with friends. Throughout the process I talked with a few friends that let me complete some of the homestretches needed when programming an application (especially when I tried porting the thing).\r\n\r\nConclusion:\r\nI'm just going to use Unity next time so I don't have to deal with the freaking porting. Hopefully next time I can make a fantastic game that isn't essentially press buttons to win game. I'm not expecting the big votes, because honestly it isn't a good \"game\" but any way about it, it was fun.\r\n\r\nTo Install:\r\nExtract to folder of choice, run \"Work and Life.exe\" and if Windows warns about protection, I assure you, there are no viruses.\r\n\r\nTheme Explanation:\r\nThe game is about the two different but connected worlds of work and life. How they affect the other and how stability in one leads to stability in the other.\r\n\r\nErrors:\r\nTHIS GAME WAS RUSHED AND I DID NOT REALIZE THERE WAS NO WIN STATE AND THAT FIXING IT WOULD MEAN REWRITING A LOT OF CODE AND I'M LAZY\r\nI think the only typo is the end of the day thing where I said that family and Sleepiness (which should've been Awakeness) were doubled when it's tripled.","title":"Work and Life"}
