Thoughts.
Intro:
Me and my friend Hellberg decided to do LD30 together. I have done one LD before alone and that was fun. So we went for the Jam.
We started brainstorming at 01:30 after a Dota 2 match. 5 minutes later we went asleep.
Early saturday we started discussing ideas and settled on what became our game.
We made a platformer with 2 worlds(evil/good). Took a few breathers for food, dota and sleep in between making the game.
Tools:
Game maker – for making a game.
Photoshop, Illustrator – for making art.
Reaper, Ableton Live, guitar, bfxr – for making music and sounds.
pen&paper – for making drawings.
What we did right:
I believe we did a good game.
Runs smoothly.
Not overly hard.
What we did wrong:
If something did not work we fixed it or threw it out.
Stuff that did not make it to final game: boss, some npcs, more levels.
What we learned:
How to use Game maker. We learned that Game maker is actually pretty good for making games in a short amount of time.
We will probably be using it more in the future. We delegated tasks well, Hellberg did art and I put everything together and
we both looked at stuff and fixed stuff that went broken from time to time. We also found out that we work well together
and will do more of that in the future.
