Well More went wrong than went right in terms of my game, but the amount of fun i had and things i learned trumps that.<\/strong><\/p>\n

WHAT WENT WRONG:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.Firstly i didn’t spend enough time thinking about a game to make(WORST MISTAKE EVER!), So it ended up as a collage of things ive always wanted to try.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>2.I tried to implement to many things into my game at once and therefore they didn’t work properly or as well as they could.<\/p>\n

3.LEARN MORE ABOUT ARRAYLISTS!!!! I used an arraylist to render and collide my enemies which sometimes(As I later found out) randomly throws an error crashing the whole program!<\/p>\n

4. Monitor my time more closely(I probably should of tested more often and got other people to play my game)<\/p>\n

WHAT WENT RIGHT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>1. I Got my game in a playable state(…?)<\/p>\n

2.I made a tile map thing that i could easily change(Never tied it before)<\/p>\n

3. I Quite liked the art that i went back and drew more carefully.<\/p>\n

IN A NUTSHELL:<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>I had a heap of fun and will get to play some games(can’t wait)\u00a0 And I hope other peoples postmortems are more positive than mine. Ill be back for the next LD48 thats for sure.<\/p>","time":"April 24th, 2012 2:17 am","title":"Post-Mortem"}
