My first Ludum Dare (LD37) was one of the best experience of my game Dev life. Against all odds after 72h of bumps i had my first complete game! A game that really didnt shine in any aspect but im proud of it! After that weekend i said to myself, i had to do this every Ludum Dare! The community is fantastic, the feedback is awesome and i learn a lot!

Im not an experienced programmer or artist. I'm a self taught game developer, and i want to make this hobby my career. I learn from every comment and from every game all of you guys make for this event! Thanks and luck for everyone!

Tools

• Unity
• Really I Don't Know :smile: in the last game i made all graphics with unity basic geometric forms and paint

Feel free to folow me on Twitter and give me all the feedback and advise you want !

This is my second game jam, my second game at all !!!. My goal was the same as in the last Ludum Dare, learn, have at the end of the weekend something that I can call MY GAME! and of course, get feedback and comments on my game, and improve thanks to it! I had worked alone in this game, made with Unity and visual Studio for scripts, all "3D Models" are made with Unity basic geometry and sound effects recorded with my phone with no edit (i had help from my girlfriend making noises on the phone).

- What went right?

• Finish another game :smile:
• I managed to complete the levels and the amount of powers that i planned from the beginning
• Not much more :flushed:

- What should improve?

• Learn some 3D modeling and Animating (just spheres and squares deformed aren't that good looking :rofl: )
• Particles Systems (was my first time working with it)
• General control feeling (Jump Force / Gravity / Speed / Camera Rotation)
• Camera Collision (this was on my "to do" list since friday night :cry: )
• Add background sound/music
• Tutorial or In-Game Hints (Some people cant pass some levels / Read Spoiler Section if you get stuck)

- What can i learn from the experience?

• Maybe "Unity terrains" is not the best for platformers
• Planning more time to polish and make game look better (like add more stuff in the scene)
• what more? let me know on https://twitter.com/Rixud

Thanks for all the feedback! I will work on an post-Ludum Dare version, polishing all the things you recommend me (It's a lot)! This was my second LD and I am happy to participate in this magnificent event, I learn with every comment you gave me, and with all the games that you make!!

If you haven played Shapeshifter yet! and you have time, give it a try! and deposit all your wisdom in a comment!

Shapeshifter:TKSW!

Thanks you all! See you in LD39! (or sooner)
