Abridged Version;<\/p>\n

The Good<\/strong><\/p>\n

Less worry about art with free Unity assets.
\n Finally got animations working in Unity.
\n Unity 5 made polishing super easy.
\n 2D movement\u00a0in a 3D world made decisions much\u00a0easier.
\n Learned how Unity\u2019s new UI system works.
\n Color scheme helped immensely.<\/p>\n

The Bad<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not enough planning.
\n I wish I had worked in a group.
\n Early programming quick-fixes ended up costing a lot later.
\n Making solid gameplay for an RPG takes\u00a0a long time.
\n Difficulty level was hard to play with.<\/p>\n

Important Jam Lessons I Learned<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you don\u2019t know how to implement a feature a certain way, before you ditch it, think of other ways to do it.<\/li>\n
  2. Have a restriction.<\/li>\n
  3. Ideas are always dependent on skill, so be flexible.<\/li>\n
  4. Build more with less.<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n
