Everything rated / Postmortem

I have finally rated everything that I can possibly run (on Mac OS X or with Boot Camp in Windows), and phew that was a challenge. Now I see why we have 2 weeks to vote. :)

Postmortem:

I’m glad I finally got to do a LD48. I’ve been making games for something like 12 years now so I’m happy I can still find the time to do it even though I’ve got a full time post-college job now. As a personal note, I think I chose a gameplay idea that was the perfect level of simplicity for a 48 hour contest, and I think I executed it as well as I could have hoped. This is my second timed competition, and although both times it has come down to the last few minutes for me, I’m surprised at how well I’ve been able to execute a simple idea without adding too many bells and whistles. As someone who has a few games I’ve spent years on and almost none I did in a few days, this is pretty big for me.

I’m sort of ashamed at my game’s racism at this point, though. Although I’m a person who strongly believes in the value of nearly crossing the line for comedy, I actually managed to annoy some people on this, which wasn’t my intention. I figure because it’s so pixelated and poorly drawn nobody would mind so much. In order to get that risky comedy I think I alienated a few people from my possible audience, but that’s life I suppose.

I think maybe I’ll update it so you’re a redneck with a shotgun shouting, “Yeehaw, pa, relawd!”

Would that make it more appropriate? :)

Badness aside, having gone once into the foray of stupid bad racist humor, I think I’ll stay out of it in the future.

And while I’m here, a plug for my website which has some other (most incomplete) games.
