You know, I've been programming for five years, and in those five years the amount of time I've spent on programming which resulted in nothing made is roughly %95 of the time.\r\rPrototype after prototype, giving up on a project to move to another, which I'd give up and move to another. All wastes. You've made SOMETHING, if every time you sat down and worked it was toward a completed project, then you're better than me, you're better than 9\/10 of every amature game dev.

I see you also went with CreateJS. Congrats on finishing up! I knew going in that it was going to be rough. Having never attempted LD (or any game compo for that matter), I didn't fully appreciate the need for pre-planning, rigorous time management, etc. Didn't do any pre-work... just began with that accursed, cold cursor blinking at me in that vacuous, empty text editor.

This one's all about making creepy mustaches and poking some guy in the eye.\r\n\r\nTHE STORY: Imagine it's the morning of that big job interview or business presentation. You were up 'til 3 a.m. preparing, but you forgot to set your alarm clock and you've overslept. Your train leaves in 10 minutes, so you only have a few precious moments to shave...\r\n\r\nUPDATE #1: Boosted by the encouragement I've received, and with just under two hours to go 'til the Jam deadline, I implemented a kind of shaving-like... um, thing. It's not so much a simulation of actual shaving, but more of a Photoshop eraser tool, if one were implemented very poorly. Since the Jam still hasn't ended, I'm releasing an updated version!! Now with 100% more shaving! Enjoy!\r\n\r\nUPDATE #2: The post-jam version adds: (1) a button to regrow the beard, (2) option to grow a more dense beard, and (3) a monobrow.\r\n\r\nUPDATE #3: The post-jam version is now more game-like: a score and timer have been added! Yay! I've removed the beard density and debug options. Minimalism!","title":"Shaving Quest: The Razor's Edge"}
