Well, I think I did okay this time around. Better than LD24 (my first LD)<\/p>\n

This time I made a game called Lord of Corruption<\/p>\n

\"Mon<\/a><\/p>\n

Play it here<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway:<\/p>\n

What went right<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was more experienced. I have now been programming for almost 1 year. Which means I have 1.5 times as much experience as LD24.
\n No school. Last time school got in the way and I lost all Monday morning (timezone offset means I finish the compo on moday afternoon).
\n Had a simple GUI framework. Last time I tried implementing my own GUI system and wasted half of Sunday morning.
\n Focused on fun even if my interpretation of the theme was just… simple. Result: It’s fun, so no-one cares about the theme.
\n I did so well that I submitted 1 hour before the end because I was done that early.
\n I had just started developing a platformer engine a few days before the compo, so I was able to rewrite that, and as a result, I now have an even better engine to use for bigger projects.<\/p>\n

What went not-so-right<\/strong><\/p>\n

No music\/sound. I should try to get this going next LD.
\n It was too hard for some people to win.
\n There were a few problems with enemies bunching up at the side of the world and insta-killing you whenever you respawned.<\/p>\n

Overall, I think it went well.<\/strong> ;D<\/p>","time":"December 21st, 2012 9:18 pm","title":"Lord of Corruption Post-Mortem"}
