June Jam IV mini-postmortem


The pitch for Queens of Scrap and Honey and what made it:

  1. Giant, screen-filling, slow-moving shoot-em-up mothership
  2. ...Fighting against waves of puny spaceships
  3. ...Who occasionally send super powerful hero ships to take you down
  4. Roguelike powerups, giving you choice for how to grow your mothership into an unstoppable juggernaut
  5. Powerup that lets you take over enemy ships and make them part of you (it's permanently on)
  6. Awesome tunes by Labib for the title screen, main level, pause screen, and hero battles
  7. Automatically construct worker drones you can send out to pick up powerups and disabled ships via mouse clicks
  8. Decent looking title screen and game over screen
  9. Sound effects that match the mood/music
  10. Engaging gameplay to counteract amateur art
  11. Something I'm at least a little proud of in some way: design, programming, fun, novelty, etc.

Tallying up the scores... 0.5 + 1 +1 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 3.5 out of 11. Not great, but not bad for 8-10 hours of work.
