<\/p>\n This was our first Ludum Dare competition entry.<\/p>\n
Game took 5 hours from concept to submission.
\n Removed time for Dinner and watching Red Vs Blue <\/p>\n
It is a pure gameplay focused game.<\/p>\n
No animations to distract attention.
\n Used both themes: Two Button Control and Growing.<\/p>\n
Lessons Learnt \/ Postmortem The comments provided a lot of invaluable feedback.<\/p>\n The biggest theme to summarise this would be:<\/p>\n 1) Do not stray too far from the standard of what is expected. A common comment was that having no visual feedback through animation made it difficult to play.<\/p>\n Our internal thinking at the time:<\/p>\n It turns out that by doing this, it made it too hard to play.<\/p>\n A more standard design would have had animation and\/or sound to provide additional sensory feedback.<\/p>\n 3) Remembered how powerful Construct2 was as a tool<\/strong><\/p>\n We first picked up Construct2 back in 2011. At the time, HTML5 was not that widespread, so game performance on different platforms was not very good. Trying to target mobile was quite difficult. Getting back into using Construct2 was just like riding a bike. After not having used it for a long time (years??) it was easy and felt natural to use.<\/p>\n Remembering how easy it was to use, allowed me to finish the One Game Per Month Challenge<\/a> (#1GAM) after this Ludum Dare. I finished an additional 8 games before the end of 2015.<\/p>\n In Summary \/ TL;DR:<\/strong><\/p>\n Keep expected parts standard and Construct2 is just like riding a bike. \ud83d\ude09<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sam and Mas Two Button Attack Game was TrollPiggy’s 2nd game, richardboegli’s 4th.<\/p>\n TrollPiggy:<\/p>\n 1) RunGunSwordPunchKick<\/a>: YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n richardboegli:<\/p>\n Tags: gamedev<\/a>, ld34<\/a>, ldjam<\/a><\/p>","time":"January 4th, 2016 4:04 pm","title":"Sam and Mas Two Button Attack Game \u2013 LD34 \u2013 Postmortem"}
