Postmortem

It’s been a rough, sleepless three days, but my first ever Ludum Dare jam submission is finally up. You can find it here.

In retrospect, I probably could’ve managed my sleep schedule a bit more efficiently. This was my first game jam, and easily the most complex game I have ever created, so I learned quite a lot of things just from working on this.

If I could do it all again, I’d probably go back in time and slap all the people that voted for Minimalism. It’s a very uninspiring, uncreative theme. We’re cranking out games in 3 days. I’m pretty sure the games would’ve been minimal with or without the theme. At worst, all it did was inspire a lot of un-games without any gameplay or graphics. :/

Still, I had an overall good experience. Special thanks to my other teammates, Tyler and Nathan for making this game awesome. :)

Unfortunately, with all the rush to complete the game, the poor, unloved potato easter egg fell to the wayside. I feel I have failed the Potato Challenge and failed as a french fry eater.
