Last time out was one of my more successful entries, even if I only got what I would consider a passing score. This time I plan on taking it further.

Making something too complex is just a recipe for a headache at 1pm on Sunday afternoon.<\/li>\n <li>Finish most of the work by Saturday night so I can spend Sunday polishing.<\/li>\n <li>Don\u2019t run into dumb problems that eat up eight hours.<\/li>\n <li>Doodle\/Pixel art style. I usually sketch something and then do some post-scanning modifications. I\u2019m not a great artist, so sometimes I\u2019ll just draw half of the object and mirror it to keep it symmetric. I now have an iPad, so I will probably experiment by drawing on it with a stylus.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/declaration\/\" rel=\"tag\">declaration<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/flashpunk\/\" rel=\"tag\">flashpunk<\/a><\/p>","time":"December 12th, 2012 5:11 pm","title":"Ludum Dare XXV will not be aLone."}
