PLAY TRUFFLES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Well i officially don’t have any more spare time to work on my game… so im gonna upload it as is.<\/p>\n
Beneath the surface was actually just about the only theme that i wasn’t really expecting… or hoping for, in fact \u00a0i actually had my heart set out on a few of the other themes. With that being said i almost immediately decided that i wasnt gonna do this ludum dare.<\/p>\n
About 9 \u00a0hours into the comp i decided ” hell why not, \u00a0how bad could this really be?” and\u00a0i began brainstorming ideas.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
About The Game<\/strong><\/p>\n Truffles is about a little piggy who accidentally falls into a abandoned mushroom mine.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tools<\/strong><\/p>\n I decided right off the back that i was gonna enter the jam instead of the compo, and for coding i would be using \u00a0javascript. I later on decided on using photoshop for sprites, fl studio\u00a0and my ipad\u00a0for music, sfxr for sound effects ,pixel Edit for making tiles, and tiled map editor. It took me a while to decided on using a html5 library or Unity3d but in the end i choose phaser.js because i iv used it \u00a0for a few other games and i also didn’t have as much time as i wanted for 3d modeling and i was working alone.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Good<\/strong><\/p>\n – Javascript is a language that i’m comfortable with so i didn’t really face that many coding problems<\/p>\n
– I already had a piggy sprite laying around on my computer, which inspired because the inspiration for my game, so i decided to give him a name and a home.<\/p>\n
– I had absolutely no problems on day one , even though i started a few hours late. I had completely finished my piggy sprite animation, made the first version of my tilset, came up with a game idea, \u00a0and \u00a0completed \u00a0my level creation goal for the day.<\/p>\n
– I’ve completed my first ludum dare<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Bad<\/strong><\/p>\n – I started working a few hours late<\/p>\n
– I wasn’t really sure what i should spend most of my time working on.<\/p>\n
– Around day 2 i started slowing down due to frustration<\/p>\n
– Im sure i drove my family coco from how many times i asked them to test my collision.<\/p>\n
– I didn’t get to make as many levels as i had wanted but i still met my overall set goal.<\/p>\n
-Right after my laptop died i lost my \u00a0charger and spent 1 hour looking for it<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The ugly<\/strong><\/p>\n – Phaser.js had one hell of a time with collison. I spent about 3+ hours just trying to get my collision detection \u00a0it to at least where i could consider it some what decent.<\/p>\n
– i didn’t get to do as much as i wanted with the game such as add various enemies, puzzles, more levels, obstacles…etc<\/p>\n
