On the way - to review result from Ludum Dare 46!
As you know it was my first game jame and first publish game so my expectation about the result were not high. But wonder happens and I did pretty well to be honest!
The game is evaulated for a period of one moth by other players. The evaluation is done in following categories:
Innovation – The unexpected. Things in a unique combination, or something so different it’s notable.
Fun – How much you enjoyed playing a game. Did you look up at the clock, and found it was 5 hours later?
Theme – How well an entry suits the theme. Do they perhaps do something creative or unexpected with the theme?
Graphics – How good the game looks, or how effective the visual style is. Nice artwork, excellent generated or geometric graphics, charming programmer art, etc.
Audio – How good the game sounds, or how effective the sound design is. A catchy soundtrack, suitable sound effects given the look, voice overs, etc.
Humor – How amusing a game is. Humorous dialog, funny sounds, or is it so bad it’s good?
Mood – Storytelling, emotion, and the vibe you get while playing.
Overall – Your overall opinion of the game, in every aspect important to you.

You can choose not to participate in some category like audio if you dont have one. So what were my result?
If you take into consideration that there was 1383 (https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/stats) it means in overall I had better result that 25% of the contestants.
For the next ludum dare I am going to work on the fun, theme and graphics part of the result. Mood is hard because you need an audio to set the proper mood (at least i think) and I am not sure if I am going to be able to learn myself to do some audio.
Well, see you next time! :)
