Postmortem Report

First of all, sleep.. I did a rookie mistake and went full steam ahead on the first night. This lead to my body clock being messed up and actually loosing more time later on because of fatigue.

For my first game, I think this went okay. It is far from finished, some might barely call it a game, more of a tech demo.

What Went Wrong

Spent far too much time working on the lighting and art. Ended up neglecting most of the features that I wanted to implement.

Not enough mechanics in the game. Needs more features for it to be actually playable.

Will I do this again

100% YESS

It was a blast, I learnt alot and had fun during the process.
Most of the stuff learnt will be be used in other projects.
