Because I like it. And I\u2019m willing to make it.<\/p>\n
Either that or it\u2019s got something to do with the fact that I only rated about 7 games.<\/p>\n
But lulzfish_4 rated many more games than I did yet performed bloody awfully. Maybe people are vicious when they see someone\u2019s made a few mistakes. Or maybe they just can\u2019t cope with 8 enemies firing targetted shots at them. I don\u2019t know. (It\u2019s pretty easy to dodge once you know your hit region.)<\/p>\n
And he got 1.33 for audio? His game doesn\u2019t even HAVE audio! DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW TO PRESS THE N\/A BUTTON (obviously I had better people voting for mine because they knew how to press the N\/A button for humour even though there was a bit in the game itself)<\/p>\n
His game wasn\u2019t even terrible. It was just a bit incomplete, and a bit rough around the edges. I\u2019ve seen worse games that deserve worse scores, most notably a particular game which involved going around a huge-ass cavern picking up 50 identical things. It was not fun at all. I am neither naming this game nor this author, as everyone does duds every now and then and he doesn\u2019t need to be remembered for such a dud.<\/p>\n
Hell, his worst placing was in the theme department. I feel this is complete horseshit. If anything, this needed MORE things.<\/p>\n
Come to think of it, if his game were some Unity hackjob, he\u2019d get a much higher score because shitny*. I really don\u2019t like that.<\/p>\n
(* typo\u2019d that, corrected that, decided to leave it in. It\u2019s a new word, guys!)<\/em><\/p>\n If it\u2019s any compensation, I at least did well in the audio department, and somehow did alright in the fun department.<\/p>\n MiniLD #42 is coming up. Provided my coursework doesn\u2019t suddenly start kicking me in the crotch, I might take this time to learn how to use L\u00d6VE, and then make a bullet hell shooter with it.<\/p>\n Alternatively, if emscripten decides to work, I might be able to make an asm.js port of my LD26 entry, and then I can gut the engine out and use that as base code. Hell, I might even stick in a few #define macros just to save my sanity (getting the texcoords right was somewhat tedious, lots of copy paste, thank you vim for being awesome).<\/p>\n And then I will make a bullet hell shooter.<\/p>\n Because I like bullet hell shooters.<\/p>\n And, to be quite honest, there are other people who do.\u2014Maybe I\u2019ll have enough time to stick in a few difficulty levels. I for one am not particularly good at my own game, but I can get a no-death run every now and then.At least I still find my game challenging.<\/p>","time":"May 21st, 2013 2:14 am","title":"Everyone hates bullet hell.
