Intro:<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

We started brainstorming at 01:30 after a Dota 2 match. 5 minutes later we went asleep.<\/p>\n

Early saturday we started discussing ideas and settled on what became our game.<\/p>\n

We made a platformer with 2 worlds(evil\/good). Took a few breathers for food, dota and sleep in between making the game.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tools:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Game maker – for making a game.<\/p>\n

Photoshop, Illustrator – for making art.<\/p>\n

Reaper, Ableton Live, guitar, bfxr – for making music and sounds.<\/p>\n

pen&paper – for making drawings.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What we did right:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I believe we did a good game.<\/p>\n

Runs smoothly.<\/p>\n

Not overly hard.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What we did wrong:<\/strong><\/p>\n

If something did not work we fixed it or threw it out.<\/p>\n

Stuff that did not make it to final game: boss, some npcs, more levels.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What we learned:<\/strong><\/p>\n

How to use Game maker. We learned that Game maker is actually pretty good for making games in a short amount of time.<\/p>\n

We will probably be using it more in the future. We delegated tasks well, Hellberg did art and I put everything together and<\/p>\n

we both looked at stuff and fixed stuff that went broken from time to time. We also found out that we work well together<\/p>\n

and will do more of that in the future.<\/p>\n
