Previous years, i spent the time building up to it practicing whatever language\/framework I planned on using. This year, i decided to try using Unity. I had some vague exposure to unity a handful of times, but nothing this extensive.<\/p>\n <p>I can honestly say, as far as frameworks go, it&#8217;s really rather slick. I could definitely see using it in a real project.<\/p>\n <p>At the end of the day, though, I&#8217;m honestly not too enthused with the results. I really just couldn&#8217;t come up with any good ideas for the theme this year. All previous years, i had so many ideas buzzing around I couldn&#8217;t get to all of them, and ended up having to cut things. This year, i got essentially everything in I planned from the get go, with plenty of time left of my hands to mull over extra ideas. All in all, i honestly don&#8217;t think the game turned out that fun, either. I honestly felt really restricted by the theme. Oh well, here&#8217;s hoping to a better LD next year!<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-28\/?action=preview&amp;uid=2978\">http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-28\/?action=preview&amp;uid=2978<\/a><\/p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/jam\/\" rel=\"tag\">jam<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/ld28\/\" rel=\"tag\">LD28<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/ludum-dare\/\" rel=\"tag\">Ludum Dare<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/postmortem\/\" rel=\"tag\">postmortem<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/unity\/\" rel=\"tag\">unity<\/a><\/p>","time":"December 16th, 2013 4:34 pm","title":"Another year down, another LD over"}
