…and I’ve not really played our game! It’s to the wire and I’ve no idea how the game actually plays.<\/p>\n

Our pipeline hasn’t been great, which is exacerbated by the timezone difference. We were probably out of scope this time – I feel like maybe my expectations got in the way a little. I’ve been jamming for a couple of years now, and it seems that my polish expectations are getting a little too high. If its content and improves overall quality, I always push to have it in, unaware of the complications of implementation. Not knowing Unity, I am unaware of it’s quirks and don’t have a clear idea of what’s easy or hard when it comes to implementation, so it’s hard to know where to push the polish.<\/p>\n

Anyway, we’ll see in an hour or so if we make it. Until then, here’s my final mockup artwork. I even managed to stream some of my pixel art “process”… I might start doing that more often. You can watch future streams here: https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/sean_noonan\/<\/a><\/p>\n
