It might be my exhausted 6am post jam mind, but a thought just crossed my mind that Ludum Dare is basically a benchmark for Game Developers. We all run under the same conditions and try to get the best out of ourselves in those 48 hours. Maybe that's the addicting part about it. You improve your soft and hard skills every day just in order to get a little bit more done jam by jam.

I wonder if what I wrote still makes sense after I wake up. 35 hours of almost non-stop coding certainly have their side effects...
