EDIT: MiniLD 47 is over! Thank you to everyone who participated!<\/p>\n

As game developers, we not only develop games, we develop ourselves. There’s no doubt that every single one of us has improved since our beginnings. Now, it’s time to see just how far we’ve come. It’s time for…<\/p>\n

Your task this weekend (Nov 29-Dec 1<\/strong>) is to find the very first game you have ever made<\/b> (no, I’m not talking about that pong clone you made while going through a tutorial, I’m talking about your first original<\/em> game) and remake it<\/strong> using the techniques, tools, and skills that you’ve acquired since then.<\/p>\n

While crunching through code, look back at your game and note graphics\/gameplay\/music that you would have done differently today. The more, the better!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rules<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Find the earliest game you have made in the past<\/li>\n
  2. Remake it<\/li>\n
  3. Include both versions (if possible) in your submission<\/li>\n
  4. Disregard the previous three rules and go make whatever you want! I’m not going to stop you!<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \u201cWhat if all remnants of my first game have disappeared off the face of the planet?\u201d<\/p>\n
