That's Improvement
Better than last time
This is my second Ludum Dare, and I think it went better than my first. For both events, I prioritized graphics, audio, and overall feel to the actual quality of gameplay, which is evident from the ratings I have received. While this meant that I spent the majority of the event drawing sprite sheets and writing music, it also got me ranked 23rd in Graphics *and *10th in Audio for Ludum Dare 39. Not bad, considering I only broke top 100 in the "Innovation" category last event.

Improvement on most fronts
I plotted my ranking as a percentile for all Compo submissions for both events, and I improved in every category except Fun. This is pretty consistent with the comments I received for both games, which followed the general trend of "looks pretty, but mostly unplayable."

Anyway, so long, and thanks for all the fish.
Looking forward to LD40 in December!
