I was ready to make the most amazing game in 48 hours. I couldn&#8217;t wait to create some cool new game mechanics based on the theme we would know only when the incredible challenge would begin. Then, it started&#8230; 48 hours seems a lot, you feel like you have enough time for everything then you realize the deadline is coming closer every seconds and you start to freak out. I did some noobish error that I shouldn&#8217;t have done : I decided to learn ActionScript 3 during the challenge when I could&#8217;ve use Java, a language that I already know; I took too much time on trying to make an engine out of my game rater then making a game (&#8230;. not good) and I was sick during this weekend (doesn&#8217;t really help -_-). All these errors kept me from finishing in time. I was not quite satisfied with my performance and the way I managed my time.<\/p>\n <p>Well, I learned a lot from my experience and this time I couldn&#8217;t be more ready for this ludum dare! For the LD #22, I will use :<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li><strong>Language : <\/strong>Java<\/li>\n <li><strong>Libraries : <\/strong>None<\/li>\n <li><strong>Sounds<\/strong> : sfxr<\/li>\n <li><strong>Graphics<\/strong> : Paint.NET<\/li>\n <li><strong>Other shtuff<\/strong> : \u00a0Coffee, coffee, coffee and some more coffee. Maybe some sleep and pizzas (hmmm)<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>My goal isn&#8217;t to finish first, but only to be able to finish my game in time (for once) and hopefuly get some constructive comments so I can do better for LD #23.<\/p>\n <p>To Ludum Dare #22, I say <strong>Challenge Accepted<\/strong> !<\/p>\n <p>Good luck to everyone! Hope you&#8217;ll all be able to finish your game &#8217;cause I can&#8217;t wait to play them \ud83d\ude09<\/p>","time":"December 8th, 2011 11:59 am","title":"I\u2019m in! Have fun!"}
