Minimalistic Minimization - A Ludum Dare Compo Postmortem

I finished! Being my second time, I understood my limits a little better, and knew my time frame.

The game is basically complete. It keeps score, it has sound, it has a beginning and an end.

The game is fun (according to the comments, and friends, and, of course, myself!).

I enjoyed doing it. I am now a super technical person, so doing the programming side of games is a little hard for me, but I love learning how it all goes together. This just gave me another opportunity to do so.

Getting the rotation of the ship just right. I love the feel of it, as it barrel-rolls around the debris.

And, getting the explosion of the ship just right.

It's not built with efficiency in mind. Which is fine for a 48 hr competition, but when it comes to porting it to mobile, this might cause some problems.

I also spent a lot of time on an idea that I eventually gave up on. This happened last time as well.

Decided at the last minute to try and get the sound working. I have never worked with audio in Unity, so figuring it out on the fly was almost a disaster.

I did not have very much time for art, though seeing as the theme was "Minimalism", I was not as worried about it.

When it came to submitting, I reallized an hour after the fact that my Mac app was not linked correctly. Who knows how many people tried to play it and couldn't. (Probably no one, since I submitted an hour or so early, but still.)

Staying up all night does not work. I stayed up until 5 am, and then slept until 2 pm. Then, it still took me awhile to get back into the game to finish it.
