Game Jam Postmortem


What went well?

  1. The overall game play/pimple popping mechanic was exactly how I envisioned it. Implementation from flow chart was really easy and organized with only some small enhancements needed.
  2. UI placement and updating was well implemented.
  3. Difficulty of the game for being just one level was pretty good for me.

What didn't go well? 

  1. Implementing some better visuals would have been better, the pimple does not really pop out and maybe having some fluid would have been nice.
  2. Audio implementation did not go very well and took a lot more time than it should have.
  3. Was not able to dedicate more than a few days to the JAM so the game did not go through a lot of clean up.
  4. Restarting the game was almost instant because of how is was implemented. Should have made it a timed thing rather than just press action.
  5. With more time, making it so the player popped several pimples and not just one would have been better.

How can I improve in the future?

  1. Dedicate more time to Game Jams for a better quality game.
  2. Try to find someone who would want to help build some art work for the game.
  3.  Build flow charts for the UI operations and game mechanics to help implementation and recognition of gaps.
