I was young and unexperienced with programming. As I started studying computer engineering I didn&#8217;t have much time to spend on game-making but the desire still remained in me, waiting to be fulfilled.<\/p>\n <p>The small time given in this competition forced me to focus on the game and give 100% to make the best I could, starting from scratch. I coded until 4 A.M. (the deadline in Italy&#8217;s timezone) and even if my game is not great as I expected (ok, it&#8217;s not great from many points of view :P) I was completely satisfied. I could have made tons of games till now, maybe now I found the perfect balance between free-time and motivation to go on and do some more.<\/p>\n <p>Ok, that was a little boring.<\/p>\n <p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">The best part of this post is the announce that I updated the version of my competition entry &#8220;<strong>A Pigeon&#8217;s Life<\/strong>&#8221; fixing some bugs that made the game crash:<\/span><\/p>\n <p>I also added sounds and music that unfortunately I wasn&#8217;t able to add before the deadline <img src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/frownie.png\" alt=\":(\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/><\/p>\n <p>You can also download the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Bundle<\/strong>: Game + Sounds<\/span> together.
