My name is headchant and I made Annex Kharon for Ludum Dare 30. It is a weird roguelike with\u00a0spaceships about connecting planets to a trade network and is very much inspired by games like 868-HACK or Hoplite.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-30\/?action=me\"><img alt=\"Screenshot 2014-08-25 01.13.39\" class=\"size-large wp-image-391128 aligncenter\" height=\"412\" src=\"\/data\/posts\/2014\/09\/e77bbbf7268f40fe1d9f38fb53cd6a41.png\" width=\"550\"\/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Spaceships in space!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-30\/?action=preview&amp;uid=4232\">&gt;&gt;&gt;Play It Here&lt;&lt;&lt;<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>I don\u2019t want to write a full blown postmortem so I will keep it simple:<\/p>\n<h3>What went right?<\/h3>\n<p>Had a lot\u00a0of fun making this one.\u00a0I tried to focus on something simple and after a couple of revisions the gameplay.\u00a0I think I did\u00a0manage my time quite well this time: A whole mock of the game was finished after day one. The second day was used to polish it and fix all little bugs.<\/p>\n<h3>What went wrong?<\/h3>\n<p>The first sketch\u00a0used asian ascii symbols but I wasn\u2019t quite happy with the looks so I used <a href=\"http:\/\/headchant.com\/pfxr\/\">PFXR<\/a>\u00a0as inspiration for the ships. But I sadly\u00a0didn\u2019t have time to draw\u00a0nicer ships. Connecting planets was\u00a0a nice simple idea but I have the feeling that I could have used it more especially for the abilities.\u00a0I also didn\u2019t have time to make more abilities.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>I am did\u00a0some minor fixes and alteration to the game for the post-compo version but I don\u2019t think that ever will make a big game out of it. As said earlier: I had a lot of fun making it and that is the most important for ludum dare.<\/p>","time":"September 3rd, 2014 10:05 am","title":"Annex Kharon","title_was_empty":false}
