Because I did not pay as much attention to the graphics as usual I could spend more time on adding a tutorial and some extra gameplay.<\/li>\n<li>I like the design, I think it has familiar elements, but it is different, maybe I can port it to tablet or something.<\/li>\n<li>It is a complete game, every feature I planned is in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What went Wrong?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Was busy until 3am, \u00a0that was not how I planned it :).<\/li>\n<li>Underestimated how long it would take to build the levels.<\/li>\n<li>Need to work on my Sound Fx\/Music skills, the game really needed some zombie sounds and fun music.<\/li>\n<li>It needed more levels, probably about 10 levels or so. This way I would have been able to have a better difficulty curve. The game has enough content to build 10 levels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So what I will do different next time? I will start earlier on the levels. So the first day is just implementation of ideas and features and the biggest part of the second day is building levels.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to play my game, here is the link:<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-25\/?action=preview&amp;uid=7283\">Play it !<\/a><\/h3>","time":"December 17th, 2012 3:15 am","title":"Post-Mortem Vic","title_was_empty":false}
