Main idea:<\/strong> An astronaut finds himself all alone in\u00a0boundless Space. He\u00a0must reach his spaceship before it\u00a0flies away.<\/p>\n

Used:<\/strong> Inkscape, freesound.org, sfxr, Monkey, Paint.NET, Audacity<\/p>\n

We\u00a0were very excited to\u00a0take part in\u00a0our first\u00a0LD and create our first ever game.<\/p>\n

We\u00a0tried to\u00a0prepare for it\u00a0as\u00a0hard as\u00a0we\u00a0could. That\u2019s what we\u00a0ate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s where we\u00a0have been creating \u00abStand Alone\u00bb.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What went wrong:<\/h3>\n

Idea.<\/strong> From the very beginning we\u00a0haven\u2019t worked enough on\u00a0our game concept. Therefore, changes in\u00a0the game have been made during the development.<\/p>\n

Art.<\/strong> It\u00a0takes as\u00a0a\u00a0lot of\u00a0time to\u00a0create art. More than we\u2019d expected. We\u00a0had to\u00a0refuse some game objects due to\u00a0lack of\u00a0time to\u00a0draw\u00a0it.<\/p>\n

Some art in\u00a0progress.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sound insertion.<\/strong> There were some bugs with sound in\u00a0Monkey. It\u00a0was very annoying.<\/p>\n

Performance.<\/strong> Flash-version works not very well in\u00a0browser. Have to\u00a0deal with it\u00a0later.<\/p>\n

Time.<\/strong> We\u00a0did not have enough time to\u00a0add everything that we\u2019ve planned.<\/p>\n

Tiredness.<\/strong> Despite the huge amount of\u00a0fluid, good nutrition and healthy sleep it\u00a0was very difficult to\u00a0concentrate on\u00a0any task.<\/p>\n

Despite this we\u00a0managed to\u00a0submit our game in\u00a0time and got a\u00a0lot of\u00a0fun!<\/p>\n

And we\u2019re going to\u00a0finish and improve \u00abStand Alone\u00bb according our plans.<\/p>\n
