Hey guys! This has been my first Ludum Dare attempt, and I must say that I am really pleased with the results. My game, Beneath the Surface<\/a>, has taken a nice spot in the mood category top 25<\/a> at #17.<\/p>\n

\"results\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve used percentiles because they make the game look better [insert\u00a0sly\u00a0laugh]. Here are the results taken directly from the game’s page, if you insist.<\/p>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n

Something that I’ve observed is that when games rank well\u00a0in a category they usually do the same in other categories. My game’s ranking across all the categories were quite erratic (it’s worth noting, though, that\u00a0the game I’ve created is definitely not fun and humorous). Maybe the game isn’t as good as I think\u00a0it is. Perhaps it’s just dumb luck. Or just luck. Or just dumb. But anyway, it’s not bad for a first attempt, right?<\/p>\n

You can play my entry here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Congrats to all those who won, and I hope all the best for you guys in the next LD. See you around!<\/p>","time":"May 20th, 2014 2:45 am","title":""}
