Whats Up With The LD25 Hate?

[raw] LD26LD #26 06. Apr 2013 路 00:44 UTC · 19 days before compo start by Hayawi · 3

I’ve read a couple of “I’m In” posts, and some keep saying: “I hope the theme is better than LD25”. To be completely honest, I would have loved to participate in LD25 as the theme seemed really cool. Could someone explain whats up with the hate, is it a lack of ideas, or just not feeling the theme?

It was either TINS or Speedhack 2003ish, the theme was “You are the villian”.

Word for word, same theme.

I did not get to participate due to hectic work schedule, but on the theme hate … well they have been kind of uninspired

I hated the theme as well, but after seeing what people did with it, I thought it was a good theme (and feeling ashamed I didnt’t try harder to come up with something more insprired).

LD24: Evolution. Good theme. Plenty of ideas if you think hard enough. Focused creativity goes far.
