After a so-so night’s sleep and around a dozen wall-o-doom ideas, I returned to the basics: what was my goal in entering Ludum Dare?<\/strong> The answer was “to finish a game.”<\/p>\n

Stating the goal in very simple terms was helpful. My goal is not to write a good <\/em>game, or to write something original<\/em>, or even (unfortunately) to write something fun<\/em>. It’s just to finish the competition.<\/p>\n

So I’m pressing on. I’m pretending LD 14’s theme is “Tetris Ripoff,” and my game will be the best of that sorry bunch.<\/p>","time":"April 18th, 2009 6:29 am","title":"I hate my game, Part 2"}
