I like it so far.<\/p>\n<p>Arround the middle of september, I came up with an idea for a top-down multiplayer boxing game. I started to work on it a little (with the idea in my head \u201cMaybe October Challenge?\u201d), but then the first day of october I realized it was boring and I wasn\u2019t motivated enough.<\/p>\n<p>Then I came up with a idea for a real-time defense game(when I later realized it\u2019s a little like <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-28\/?action=preview&amp;uid=29014\">One Wall<\/a>), and I started working on it but I couldn\u2019t spend as much time I wanted because of school. I had much motivation thought. I wanted to push out a public beta-crap edition wednesday the 15th, but school and real life came in my way again. I got vacation which you would expect to work more on the game, but I had to go to many places. After the vacation, I had to \u201crefresh\u201d my mind again and it felt really weird to abandon my game for a few days. I felt like I should finish it. I also got the feeling like \u201chow am I going to release this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. I am 15 and I feel like I am not a game-designer-programmer-professional-super-nerd-that-has-awesome-games. My goal was(and still) to release a game and make some money out of it, since I clearly have no job but I still have the urge to buy things.<\/p>\n<p>I am wondering if anyone would buy my game. I don\u2019t know if people like the game because it\u2019s fun, I better hope so even thought I made the graphics in MS Paint and the game isn\u2019t that original. To be honest, I rarely buy games(I rarely buy anything because of the money). I only pay for awesome games.<\/p>\n<p>Now the trouble is to actually release it. I hope halloween will be my date, I only need to make it playable and then choose the humble bundle or itch.io, then it should be done(I am not saying I won\u2019t work on it after it\u2019s release! :D).<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" id=\"attachment_395843\" style=\"width: 560px\"><a href=\"\/data\/posts\/2014\/10\/9edd97e549bb910b962341e52d2d2866.png\"><img alt=\"October challenge something something screenshot_20-10-2014_tick_724830\" class=\"wp-image-395843 size-large\" height=\"309\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" src=\"\/data\/posts\/2014\/10\/1f43a80e9b373923e4ad8c31a5a85dd2.png\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/screenshot_20-10-2014_tick_724830-300x168.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/screenshot_20-10-2014_tick_724830-550x309.png 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/screenshot_20-10-2014_tick_724830.png 800w\" width=\"550\"\/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">A screenshot taken while programming the spawn system for the weird enemys.
