Post-Mortem

I’d hate to waste front-page real estate talking about my game, but I have to write this sooner or later. I don’t particularly like doing this, so I’ll probably keep it brief.

vvhat I used:

• language: English, Python/Pygame
• framework: PACGFUP (my own crappy little “Point-And-Click Game Framework Using Pygame”)
• art: ArtRage, GIMP
• music: MixCraft

what went well:

• the art looks pretty cool I think
• I’m not the best when it comes to music, but I think the song I made fits the overall mood of the game
• I drew a lot of art
• I tried to invent my own language for the rabbits to speak (been reading up on language lately) and it was fun, but I have no idea if anyone figured it out on their own
• a lot of the comments on the game are very/too nice, and this makes me want to work on it some more
• just another thing so my list of good things looks longer

what went poorly:

• the art could look better
• the orientation of the images when juxtaposed is off
• I completely forgot to add sound effects (I wouldn’t have had time to add them though)
• the framework I used isn’t the best, and made navigating the game confusing/awkward
• the theme was in the part of the game that didn’t make it into the game
• the part of the game that is present was supposed to basically be the introduction to the main portion of the game
• drawing so much art was tiring
• seeing all the other games makes me feel like I didn’t do as well as I originally though

messages for EVERYONE:

• great games as always, everybody. I have enjoyed every single game I have played, and am sure I would have enjoyed all of them if I had played all of them.
• keep making games
• don’t stop making games
• if you don’t like making games, then you are allowed to stop making games, but otherwise keep making games
• feel free to take breaks from making games. you don’t need to make games 100% of your free time
• don’t compare yourself to others (unless you absolutely can’t help yourself)
