Postmortem – A Matter of Bla Bla Bla
Ok I’m not gonna write that long name again 
.
This was my second ludum dare and i again manage it make it . At the first one i did choose a very ambitious project (making a post-apocalyptic rpg with car combat, yes it was really ambitios ). In the end i had to cut lots of stuff to finish it before time ends. This time i was ready for this. I knew what i had to expect. But again some unexpected things happened, but in the end i make a playable game and have fun (maybe not all the time ). So it’s time for a postmortem and i’m going to do this in a very cliché method .
The Good:
- I finished a playable game before time runs out .
- My framework really helped me a lot. I didn’t have any technical problem. And after the compo, making a windows port was really easy. Mac port is coming in a few days too. I don’t have to change a single line of code to make these ports, it’s all because of my shitty framework. It’s badly designed but it does its job well .
- A couple of friend of mine entered to the compo with me. As they say: The more the merrier .
The Bad:
- I couldn’t find a game idea that i was satisfied. Just this problem took my first day.
- While i couldn’t come up with an good idea, my code wasn’t better. I started coding a simple shooter but i don’t know why, i couldn’t code it properly and i write probably the one of the worst codes i have ever written 
.
- Maybe i finished it before time expired but game still lacks lots of things like there is nothing kills the player. So all those cave critters you killed actually just wanted to hug you .
The Ugly:
- My graphics. That is what ugly is. Man, i started gimp and make those. But just i finished those i look at them and lost all my aspiration. It took lots of time for me to recover that loss.
So thats it. I can only hope that at my third LD i’ll finally come up with a fun to play game .
