For that he is considered a villain between the human society. He spawns wherever goats are in danger, and right now is in a frozen tundra.<\/p>\n <p>In the game you must run towards villagers to bump them to death, so they don&#8217;t do the same to your goats.<\/p>\n <p><strong>What went right:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>I knew how to fix most bugs<\/li>\n <li>I had the right tools<\/li>\n <li>I chose an idea that was seemingly doable in the period of time I had<\/li>\n <li>I slept well before beginning<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p><strong>What went wrong:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>I had so many different ideas for the game, but all impossible in the timeline<\/li>\n <li>I changed ideas about 4 times<\/li>\n <li>I wasted time reading random texts on the web when my brain was &#8220;hot&#8221; brainstorm-wise<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p><strong>Things to improve:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Again, have a pre-made library for character movement, AI and graphic management.<\/li>\n <li>Projecting instead of doing everything as ideas pop from brain<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>That&#8217;s much it, and again I wish you all good luck, and may your fingers be swift!<\/p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/postmortem\/\" rel=\"tag\">postmortem<\/a><\/p>","time":"December 16th, 2012 6:23 am","title":"Postmortem of \u201cYou Are The Goatman\u201d"}
