There's not many game jams that feel as intense and powerful as the Ludum Dare COMPO. You truly have to give your whole, you're the most exposed you can be as a game dev. You've got no safety net, no shortcuts. It's you, 48h and a blank page.

So when I came up with the idea for memories.io, I really didn't think it was worth doing. I even had a major freak-out half-way through the first day that almost made me quit...

* "Why am I even doing this." *

"Who's going to play this?"

"This is so trash!"

"Who do I think I am?!"

I think most of us have been there at some point. Making a game is already miracle. Making one alone is a hot damn impossibility. To the 2,721 jammers here, you are heroes. To my fellow 1,142 compo-ers: you are freakin' gods. Be proud.

Regardless, I want to thank you all for taking me slowly out of the blues. For your kind and thoughtful comments on my entry that show me it was worth it, that I can do it. It means a lot, and I'll make sure I pay you back in kind as soon as I can.

Thanks again, stay beautiful. :heart:
