The good:

• I accomplished my goal of making a game which has significantly heavier emphasis on my background art. I required a simple-to-code game which allows me a significantly larger time budget for art.

• I pulled off a similar game jam from over two years ago in the same time, but with multiple tower modes, a functioning upgrade shop, a functioning tutorial, multiple waves, including one boss.

Very similar game, from two years ago. Significantly less content.

The bad:

• My only disapointment was the lack of content for the game design that benefits from having a solid variety of mobs and waves.
• I expected the game programming to be finished in a matter of hours,
• Some assets were, sadly rushed or were not even finished.
  

WELL, let's hope nobody notices my shortcomings!

• I wanted to make a roguelike hack n' slash which is a sequel to Robin Steele the Waifu Thief, but "Companion" did not make it as the theme for LD32.

The interesting:

• See this rabbit? It's kind of obvious that Super Nintendo JRPG's are a considerable influence to the way that I draw.

  
Original monster design. Do not steal.

• There is also nothing like cutting corners by making sort-of palette swaps but making changes to make it more than a lazy palette swap

Don't just make a palette swap, make a superficial change and BAM! Completely new 100% monster!

• Reaction faces when you hit these guys hard enough are also fun too.

• I've also worked my ass off learning how to draw trees better, which while I was pretty high on cannabis I made a realization of the sheer magnificence and sheer magnitude of the power of copy and paste as nature does with plants. This tree is basically everything I know about trees put into one sprite.

Seriously, you'll find the copy and paste all over if you look hard enough. This realization is a MASSIVE time saver.

• Overall, my overall skills have been massively upgraded over the past month, and past year.

That contrast, yo.

All in all

I worked, I improved, and I accomplished. I basically made the game at a quality I wanted to make. As for the Robin Steele game that I wanted to make, I decided that it will have to be a month-long project, to be tackled later, and not in a Ludum Dare.

So, I'm totally looking forward the next Ludum Dare!
