Here is the link to my game : http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-29\/?action=preview&uid=29515<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m mixed for this jam. On the one hand, i like the game i made, on the other hand i wish i could made a better and a longer game.<\/p>\n

\"boat\"<\/p>\n

Working<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, i have learn to never work with someone when you don’t know his capacity. I lost a lot of time and i didn’t know where i was going because of his inexperience. (I didn’t blame him, it’s was cool to work with him.)<\/p>\n

Then i was too ambitious, so the game tooks me one week to finish everything i planned.<\/p>\n

And I need to organize myself better in code and for tasks to be relax when i work.<\/p>\n

\"perso\"<\/p>\n

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

My first goal was to give a real adventure feeling\u00a0 <\/strong>(like in Thief : the Dark Project) for a 2D game.<\/p>\n

So I think the two first part of my game should be better with a step by step gameplay : i mean you don’t control the boat or the diving bell but the character and you have to do different actions for get where you want.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The story<\/strong> was not clear and a lot of people didn’t know what to do, i have to think about it next time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I know the diving bell controls<\/strong> are frustrating, i was trying to do something cool, but i failed :D.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally here is the three features<\/strong> i wanted to implement to the game :<\/p>\n

-Pad control<\/p>\n

-More living World<\/p>\n

-Better transitions between levels and text on the screen.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the rest i’m proud of the result because i learned a lot.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks for your reading.<\/p>\n
