<\/p>\n PS. Sory for my English. I hope everyone understand what I want to tell you.<\/p>\n
Hi everybody!<\/p>\n
I wrote a short post-mortem of my game which I made on LD26, I hope that anyone read it and don\u2019t die from boredom. On beginning I need do some explanation. The main purpose in my game is to reach yellow square to the green square. In reaching this purpose hinder us wall-squares. Red squares \u201ckill us\u201d, other color only block us. To increase difficult, in one moment we see squares in only one color, nonetheless there are STILL THERE. It also doing with them, one color on one moment \u2013 minimalism J I explain it, because some people wrote in coments that the game is buggy, I think it stemmed misunderstanding of the concept, and I very sorry for this L it\u2019s only my fault. Let\u2019s get start whit post-mortem:<\/p>\n
GOOD THINGS:<\/p>\n
1. Humor \u2013 some people wrote that the game is very funny, I\u2019m veeeeeeery happy of this <\/p>\n
2. Simply gameplay \u2013 I implement gameplay very quickly and I could engage in graphics, sounds, itp.<\/p>\n
3. Unity \u2013 nonetheless game is in 2D I used unity 3D, this allowed me to do prototype very quickly, with unity we can export game to web whit one click, it\u2019s very import, because in those days people don\u2019t have time to download and unzip\/install games, the sooner they can start playing our game the more people do it.<\/p>\n
4. free sound site \u2013 I used sound and music from site whit free sound, I must spend time to search for right sounds, but I think it worth it, because I don\u2019t have any skills with doing it by myself.<\/p>\n
5. Have time for polish \u2013 because game is very simply, a have time for perfecting details, like \u201cgraphics\u201d, sounds and balance. Balance is very imported thing, it depends on if people will play 30 s or 10 min<\/p>\n
6. Sleep J – sleeping during game jam is very imported, it\u2019s be my first LD, but earlier I participated at GGJ 2012 and 2013, in both editions I sleeping less then 4h during\u00a0 weekend!!! On 4am your productive fall below zero,\u00a0 It would not work, you need sleep!!!<\/p>\n
BAD THINGS:<\/p>\n
1. Paradoxically too simple gameplay \u2013 gameplay was so simple that I can invent more features to improved game fun.<\/p>\n
2. Little original gameplay \u2013 nonetheless use technique that I read earlier, \u201cwhen you hear theme, write five thing which first came to your mind, and toss then, probably the most people think about it too\u201d, a large amount of games was based on the colors, I see also some \u201cmaze\u201d games<\/p>\n
3. Zero graphics skill \u2013 I have no artistic or aesthetic sense, I’m just a programmer J also I\u2019m very beginner in graphics program I\u2019m used (GIMP, Paint.NET), my game is ugly\u2026<\/p>\n
4. More time for LD – I have spent little time for this LD edition, gamplay a have finished on Saturday before noon, you can check it on TimeLapse J then I eat diner, get some sleep and go on party with my girlfriend (real life > LD, sorry :P), I think I spend less then 20h for LD<\/p>\n
5. Don\u2019t implement highscore table – I can\u2019t explain why I had not thought about it that weekend…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
PROVISIONS FOR NEXT LD:<\/p>\n
1. Still put emphasis on humor<\/p>\n
2. Make more original gameplay<\/p>\n
3. Unity, still learnig this pawerfull engine<\/p>\n
4. Improve graphic skills, or do some beautiful procedural graphics<\/p>\n
5. Spend more time on LD \u2013 send girlfriend on weekend trip to Caribbean Islands either though to her mother <\/p>\n
