Heist!: A Post Mortem

So! I, like the thousand-odd other people who’ve slid their games under the door at the last moment, just participated in Ludum Dare. No kidding! It’s not like I’d be writing a post on this site for any other reason! But it’s still true. This was my first Ludum Dare, but not my first GameJam in general. I’ve been doing them all year, so I’m pretty gosh-darned familiar with the whole idea of making a game in 48 hours.

Not so familiar with the whole idea of do it all yourself, though! I’ve had artists, musicians, and sometimes other programmers, working with me on every GameJam I’ve done so far. So…this time was a little nerve-wracking! Combine that with the fact that I was out at a family get together for the first six or so hours of LD, and I was feeling pretty friggin nervous when I started!

But it all came together in the end :)
