This is my project entry for Ludum Dare 21, a solo 48 hour game making competition. PLEASE CRANK YOUR SOUND UP WHEN PLAYING THIS AS I DIDNT HAVE TIME TO FIX THE QUIETNESS. The game has too long of a storyboard which required too much art, anything I do in the future will either have less art or have an artist on the team.

Post Mortem: There were 9 story screens and 1 game screen planed and after building the game and 4 screens I got so bored of drawing. Next time less art and more game. I was only able to commit 14 hours and I was still able to make an alright game, supper happy with my scoping not getting out of hand as I am usually really bad with that. The musket shot stuff doesn't really make sense, I should have taken it out and used more rocks and cannon balls. The plan was to make a couple different little games and could have fit 1 more in if I had not done as much art. The sound and the images don't sync up in the intro movie, I should have cut the audio into parts to match the images and then synked them individually. 1440 x 900 was a good resolution to work in, except people with smaller resolutions cant play the game. Next time I'm going to look at how to build a game that can expand to full screen. NextTime: Less art. Get a phsics engine before hand! (I rolled my own which took up about 2 hours of my time and leaves something to be desired with collision.) Be smarter with the resolution.
