PLAY & RATE

I hate writing postmortems as it’s harder to judge your own work so I’m gonna keep this short. This was my second LD and in my opinion it went much better than the first one.

What went right:

+ this is my first game with a huge continuous space to explore – I’m pretty proud that I’ve managed to implement a chunk based level structure

+ I drew everything by hand in GIMP and MS Paint (I’m usually awful at drawing stuff with my mouse and that’s why I took the challenge – I could have used InkScape to draw the geometric stuff but I feel that drawing it by hand gave it a more personal touch)

+ I accidentally made a funny game or at least that’s what people keep telling me

+ I finished with 6+ hours to spare…

What went not so right:

- I can’t upload sound files of any kind to blogger and therefore the game has no sound

- there aren’t a lot of interesting things in space… I should have added more space junk, more planets, satellites, clouds and stuff

- should have a map of some sort
