I’m doing it again.\u00a0Every game jam I tell myself to do it differently, and every game jam I end up making the same mistakes. Then I tell myself ‘Next jam, I’ve got to do it differently’.<\/p>\n

My problem is, I always get carried away with pretty graphics & never put enough effort into the actual gameplay. I end up with something that looks lovely, but is boring as hell to play.<\/p>\n

We’re over halfway through & I have a nice looking character model, theme music and a lovely menu screen:<\/p>\n

\"menu\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What I don’t have is much in the way of actual gameplay. Worse than that, I’m starting to suspect that my idea will be more difficult to implement & less fun to play than I had originally thought.<\/p>\n

Oh well – Next jam I’ll do it differently!<\/p>","time":"August 22nd, 2015 9:05 pm","title":"Making The Same Mistakes"}
