I was a bit skeptical at first because I had just discovered L\u00f6ve2D a few days ago when LD31 started. Some things went better than expected, while some others not.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>First of all, I had time to create two games instead of only one. I first had the idea of pOp, a local multiplayer game, but a lot of people told me not to develop such a game, because it would be harder to try than 1-player games.<\/p>\n<p>So, I decided to develop Swotch, an intense arcade game, before digging into pOp. I didn\u2019t know I would have time to make both, though.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><strong>So, what went right ?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>-Two\u00a0playable and finished products<\/p>\n<p>-Lots of polishing compared to all of my other games<\/p>\n<p>-Good feedback from people, this really motivates me !<\/p>\n<h3><strong>And\u2026 What went wrong\u00a0?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>-I didn\u2019t manage to add online scores. It worked at first, but I decided to remove it because it would make the final version lag a lot.<\/p>\n<p>-No AI in pOp. You can only play with other people for the moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I would like to get even more feedback from you, players, to help improving my games !<\/p>\n<p>And\u2026 Last thing\u2026\u00a0<strong>I\u2019m actually porting Swotch and pOp to iOS and Android<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000080\"><strong>Swotch<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone\" height=\"250\" src=\"http:\/\/nsa33.casimages.com\/img\/2014\/12\/14\/\/141214051521827953.jpg\" width=\"500\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-31\/?action=preview&amp;uid=43753\">http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-31\/?action=preview&amp;uid=43753<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000080\">pOp<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone\" height=\"250\" src=\"http:\/\/nsa34.casimages.com\/img\/2014\/12\/14\/\/141214051521786880.jpg\" width=\"250\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-31\/?action=preview&amp;uid=47489\">http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-31\/?action=preview&amp;uid=47489<\/a><\/h3>","time":"December 14th, 2014 9:10 am","title":"Swotch and pOp : Overview","title_was_empty":false}
