Can you make a game in 4 hours?

<img src="http://www.crudepixel.com/images/stories/Features/Development/4thhour/4th%20hr.jpg">

I recently made an article about Constuct showing what you can do in just 4 hours. The point wasn't to show how ?easy? programs such as Construct can be, but to show how intuitive and design-led they are.

Anyway the article shows a superfast time-lapse of the session with a download link of the atrocity which was created from it.

Hey, I'm in that video

Cool vid, man. Really interesting to see the whole process go whizzing by like that. Oh, and we used to have regular 1-hour compos here once a week, but people seemed to get burned out on them... maybe because it's so stressful on the system . Perhaps we should extend the limit to 2 hours and have them once a month or something...

lol you are in the video? haha I had a break by checking out stuff on the forum and played around with someones animation from the tech help category, couldn't solve the issue then went back to the game lol was that your game?

No, I saw my avatar fly by when you stopped to browse the forum

Great vid and game! I noticed the weird errors with jumping, caused me to die several times. I tried shooting at the big blob at the end several times, then decided it was safe to run past him. oops!! It's a funny bug where you can still run around and shoot invisible. Nice for a 4 hour.

Nice article Interesting to see the game made in hi-speed!

Haha cheers, yeah there's a funny bug where the guy (affectionately named Mega-Gimp) has the worst animation where he naturally hops in the air and if you try to jump mid-hop then you can't lol, we ran out of time so couldn't fix it.
