My LD26 game Tinge is finally done, after a lot of messing with getting it compiled. It’s a very different game, but very fun. And did I mention It’s procedurally generated?

This has been my second Ludum Dare, and I’m so glad I finally have the right tools. In LD 26, I had to cut out 3/4 of my game’s content due to free version restrictions, leaving Tinge a rather dull game with an interesting idea buried in it. This time I had everything I needed, besides time. Balancing school, college prep, and Game design was a daunting task. I’ve gotten the hang of programming games in a short amount of time, as minigames were essentially many games put into one. So instead of making one game, I ended up with 7 or 8.
The Good
*The name was pretty clever if I do say so myself, pointing to the game of hot potato, only played with minigames (there’s no relation to LD 26’s potato theme)
*I Enjoyed the “Wario-Ware” style of genera, as it involved all ideas from my friends to be incorporated, and added to the intensity of timed games.
*Compared to my last game, Tinge, It was actually fun.
The Bad
I didn’t have the time to get a product I was totally proud of produced
*The kindergarten artist graphics. In the race to make a game, artwork was low on my priority list, and, well, the art sucked
*The music/Sound effects. I have gotten complements on the music, but I don’t think anyone realizes it came from Microsoft Clip Art. I wanted sound effects, but again, time was an issue.
Overall it was the best Ludum Dare yet. I enjoyed both how Hot Potato came out, as well as its play-ability. It had several bugs when released, but for the time I had, I’m Proud of the product.

I was messing around with a celebratory firework display when saving the princess, but sometimes bugs can be funny. And Gory.

4th LD is finished, and I must say its the most polished, not crappy looking game I’ve ever made. Its an infinite runner based off the football screen pass. Get it? the whole game in one screen? Forget the pun, its fun.
