Ok, more than a week after the compo finally ended, here my short summary what went fine and what was a fail (again?)

Good:

- After about one year experience with jMonkeyEngine and blender the comparison between ld13 and ld16 is really a progress.

- clear gameplay (platformer game – 3 buttons to use)

- added music. actually I’m quite happy about that smooth music. Wasn’t that difficult to create

- added soundfx (thx drpetter )

- webstartable java game. (most of the people was able to start it)

- timelapse

- created quite extendable platformer-framework for jME and blender

Cons:

- created quite extendable platformer-framework for jME and blender (although this might be good for the future it was not good for the compo! I hadn’t enough time to really show its capabilities)

- christmas-party the day before + 2h earlier starttime

- webstartable-game: not everyone was able to start it

- too less gameplay  (4h more time and……. )

Ok, even I’m not happy about the low-level gameplay I’m quite satisfied with the overall-experience. Next time I will for sure not start with jME from scratch again. It’s time to concentrate on gameplay!

Ok,…here my timelapse (3:30min)

LD-Preview

One last think: To the people that are not able to start my game: Plz post me your configuration (OS, Browser and if possible installed Java-Version) THX…
