So this time I finally managed to finish a game, and I’m so proud with the result. I had a lot of fun and also learned a lot!

What went right:

• I used my Game Engine and I proved it to be useful!
• I could adapt to the theme easily.
• I think the art and music are quite nice!
• Simple but interesting mechanics.
• I won the compo! Yay! (We all won actually, because we all finished our awesome games!)

What went wrong

• I had a lot to do during the week, so I couldn’t really focus on this.
• I had problems making music because I had no idea what program to use and had to learn one on the go.
• I had problems making animations with Photoshop because I hate it’s workflow -.-

And now I’m going to sleep because I’m so tired after all this work! See you around

A few hours in, this is the progress so far. I’m making some kind of exploration game.

I’m really looking forward to this weekend! Let’s do this!

Tools I’ll be using:

• Language: Javascript
• Framework: Phaser
• IDE/Text editor: Sublime Text or PHPStorm
• GFX: PAINT.NET
• SFX: BFXR
• Music: SunVox

Here are my votes:

Some advice for the first-timers:

• Plan your game before going ahead to coding/whatever. It will save you a lot of time later.
• Keep it simple stupid! (KISS rule). You don’t have to make a full AAA game.
• You don’t need to have the perfect code,  it’s ok to “cheat” in a jam 😉

And for all of you: Have fun! See you all around here

It’s my balloon!

You only get one…balloon!
