Well, I posted an entry, but still think I failed. Ok, maybe not to the LD standards (I made a game), but it feels like a failure.<\/p>\n

But why did I fail?<\/p>\n

I \u00a0like to blame the tools. Like everyone does. But I’m right, partly. Why? Because I didn’t practice all tools enough. LMMS crashed, Blender was annoying, why can’t I rotate this CharacterController and what the hell is a *.3ga file? All because of the same reason: I didn’t practice them, or try them out at all.<\/p>\n

But I also feel happy, because it was nice to push myself to make a game in such a short time. Usually when I make something, not a\u00a0necessarily\u00a0a game, I usually get a “better” idea I want to make and start\u00a0focusing\u00a0on that. Then a week later… well, you know, we all have this problem sometimes, right?<\/p>\n

This time I\u00a0made something that I can expand to something and enjoy doing so. And while doing that I hopefully make something other people might like to play. I was also able to spend some time in making a Shader, and make something that actually works. I improved my skills in a few tools; mostly Blender and LMMS, but also some Unity functions. \u00a0I also wrote most code myself, without using default assets like platform character controllers.<\/p>\n

So why do I dislike my entry and what do I like?<\/p>\n
