If you wanna try something new, do it before the jam.<\/li>\n <li>Generate as many game ideas as possible now and just tag them with the appropriate theme suggestions. (thanks @gnerkus)<\/li>\n <li>Start small and focus on the core ideia of your game.<\/li>\n <li>Make it work. Feature is breaking your game and you can\u2019t fix it? Remove it. Don\u2019t have enough time to make the planned 100 levels? Make 3 good ones.\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Stop making excuses<\/span>\u00a0and start making your game. Get it done.<\/li>\n <li>Take screenshots of game\u2019s progress. Believe me, it\u2019s nice to look back and see how much work you got done.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p style=\"color: #626566\">When the Ludum Dare ends look back through the screenshots and maybe do a postmortem about it. Remeber to keep checking for users comments and feedback. Also, don\u2019t forget:\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bold\">making games is not playing games,<\/span>\u00a0it\u2019s a lot of hard work before you can enjoy your creation with others.<\/p>\n <p style=\"color: #626566\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Good luck!<\/span><\/p>","time":"April 24th, 2014 4:14 am","title":"A quick guide for Ludum Dare 29(or any jam really)"}
