So once again I did it, I conquered sleeplessness and delivered a product on time! This year I’m proud to present my first submission in full 3D, from previously using various 2d-Frameworks I’ve now switched to Unity. The biggest benefit isn’t really the added render power but the ease of workflow. Having a decent editor is crucial for productivity and is something that’s usually missing from the framework-oriented style of development.<\/p>\n

Anyways, this time I wanted to focus more on atmosphere and aesthetics. I wanted to create this mystery world with a very distinct aesthetic, where not everything was extremely obvious at first glance. This meant though that the design of game mechanics suffered and I settled on a simple puzzle mechanic with rotating blocks. Overall though I’m pretty proud of how much better paced and presented this entry was compared to my earlier attempts in Ludum Dare.<\/p>\n

\"ludum\"
\n First test trying to get the right aesthetics<\/p>\n

\"ludum3\"
\n Here I was trying out some of the UI, obviously going for the clean look.<\/p>\n

\"ludum4\"
\n More motion tests, gameplay tests<\/p>\n

Final product (Windows only):

\n These were supposed to be gifs, but they don’t seem to be working?<\/p>","time":"August 31st, 2016 1:12 pm","title":"Mini LD36 Post-mortem \u2013 \u201cV\u00e5lnad\u201d"}
