Then I pondered about possible games while staying in bed, which proved to work quite good.<\/li>\n <li>Programming: Even with a bug that took me 1,5 hrs to solve I was quite happy with my programming.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>What went wrong:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Time: With my wife and child being around and some not LD realated evening activities, time management became a problem. I had to cut almost all features I planned and keep very simple with the graphic and leave the music out.<\/li>\n <li>Motivation: Due to the ideas I had at start and the time restrictions I got more and more frustrated running out of time and realising not to make the polished game I would have liked to. So I had some moments where I thought about quitting the compo but am quite glad afterwards I haven&#8217;t done so.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>Related to the last point, here is a comparison between what came out and what I planned:<\/p>\n <div id=\"attachment_104829\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2011\/12\/27\/dr-autofobers-post-mortem\/4834-shot0\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-104829\"><img class=\"size-large wp-image-104829\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/4834-shot0-550x353.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/4834-shot0-300x192.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/4834-shot0-550x353.png 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/4834-shot0.png 916w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">LD 22 entry<\/p><\/div>\n <div id=\"attachment_104830\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2011\/12\/27\/dr-autofobers-post-mortem\/ld22_postm\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-104830\"><img class=\"size-large wp-image-104830\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/ld22_postm-550x353.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/ld22_postm-300x192.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/ld22_postm-550x353.png 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/ld22_postm.png 916w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mockup with planned features.<\/p><\/div>\n <p>So what did I learn?<\/p>\n <p>It&#8217;s worth continueing even when you want to give up.<\/p>\n <h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-22\/?action=rate&amp;uid=4834\">Play and Rate!<\/a><\/h2>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/postmortem\/\" rel=\"tag\">postmortem<\/a><\/p>","time":"December 27th, 2011 6:53 am","title":"Dr. Autofober\u2019s Post Mortem"}
