This will be my first time competing in LD48, and my first time trying to make a game with a decent degree of seriousness and motivation.\u00a0 I have a college assignment to finish before I start getting really prepared, though.<\/p>\n
Programming competitions are no new thing to me, I’ve participated in plenty during my time here at college, but to me, writing applications to show knowledge of an algorithm or a concept is quite different than game development.\u00a0 I have no professional or formal experience with developing games, it’s all basically what I’ve collected from the internet and my own observations over the years.<\/p>\n
I’ve worked on a number of projects, and completed some of the smaller ones (especially ones done as assignments).\u00a0 To be honest, I have a hard time motivating myself, and forming reasonable goals for me to accomplish, and because of that, I’ve never finished a game.\u00a0 Usually the ideas I have a too large a scope for me to accomplish alone feasibly.<\/p>\n
I’m not looking to get noticed, and I’m not confident that I’ll make anything good, but I’m hoping that I’ll be able to gauge where I am as a developer, and that I can possibly figure out where I need to improve.<\/p>","time":"April 20th, 2012 4:40 pm","title":"Here goes nothing"}
