– Theme<\/strong>: Minimalism at first seems like a hard theme but, if you think about it, it’s prefect for game jams. As the hours dwindle away you essentially keep slicing and chopping away whatever you had planned until you get something that’s just right. Also umm I got away with my scrawl pixel art again haha.<\/p>\n – Game Engine<\/strong>: Flambe with its component system really makes for some fast development times. That is, if you survive the learning curve ;D<\/p>\n –\u00a0Level Design: <\/strong>I had no time to make a stage editor nor time to figure out how to use Tiled or Ogmo Editor. So I actually coded each brick piece by piece, row by column. After adding a few blocks I usually playtest it, so I was able to make each of the 3 stages totally workable.<\/p>\n What went wrong:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n – Difficulty<\/strong>: I am really sorry about this haha. With every iteration of the map I kept moving things around to maximize the jumps and such and kinda forgot that I was making it really really hard. I made up for it by stage 2 but I reckon many people will give up by stage 1. Sorry again :<<\/p>\n – Resolution<\/strong>: I coded the game on a widescreen and totally forgot to optimize for smaller screens. I wish I can say I ran out of time for this one but umm really I forgot.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Well that felt really good. I hope to see you guys again next LD \u00a0 <\/p>\n My game can be found here:\u00a0http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-26\/?action=preview&uid=2817<\/a><\/p>","time":"April 30th, 2013 6:16 am","title":"A Cube Story \u2013 Post Mortem"}![\"squareFaceTemplate32x32\"](\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/squareFaceTemplate32x32.png\")
