My MiniLD 63 post mortem … finally … after 66 million years.
BRONTO – a dinosaur themed runner with roleplaying elements.
That was a fun Mini Ludum Dare. I just can present a short sketch of what this game could be, now. But it feels like I continue working on it.
What was good:
- Drawing Dinosaurs was real fun and i could do stuff for LD and play with my 4 year old son at the same time which is great.
- Jamming just 1-3 hours every day is a good mode, to combine game jamming with real life duties. It also give you time to turn thing in your head while you are afk.
- I like my idea, which is still gr
- owing, i have a story in my head to roll out and lots of features im looking forward to implement.
- Felt like the first LDJam with kind of a tool chain using PyxelEdit and Tiled.
It seems that i could win an old friend as a collaborator for the music part in Bronto for a post jam version(currently you are hearing silence and autotracker placholders.)
What was not so good:
- I couldn’t finish the game during the jam, so i’m sorry not be able to present, what i intended now.
- Just a small example level with little features
- I’m short of sleep even in a relaxed 10 day combo
Rules Review:
- “Make a game that’s a fusion of two other games, game genres or game ideas” –
i think so, although it came to my mind, that I’m not a real rgp expert except pen an paper rpgs 😉
- “Do it during the 20th – 30th of November”
Check
- “Spend 48 hours or 72 hours or however long you want”
Check. But i worked with a timetracker, an worked in 1-3h chunks.
- “Start whenever’s convenient”
Check
- “Work alone or in a team”
Check
- “Use any assets/tools you want”
Check
- “Tag your games with #MiniLD63 (and also #LDJAM)”
Check. Made a bit noise on twitter.
- “Disregard any/all of the rules if you want”
I thought i would break more of the rules.
Hope you enjoy what you see.
