As far as I'm concerned, this LD has been incredibly successful.

From a gaming perspective, our game is relatively complete, and we've received a good amount of feedback and overall ratings, which is fantastic. To be realistic, as a team participating for the first time, achieving what we have now means we don't need to worry about the final rankings.

We've gained so much already; it would be both inappropriate and unnecessary to ask for more. I know that in terms of raw strength, our game can't compare with many others, whether in the robustness of its foundation, the level of detail in graphics, the richness of sound effects, or the quality of the puzzles themselves. Many teams are far ahead of us. Our only advantage might be that every aspect is 'just right', relatively balanced—that's all.

If such a game were to achieve higher rankings, scores, and feedback, it would be unfair to those who put more effort into their games.

So, three days ago, I stopped working on my game. Instead, I began helping friends who had helped us. On one hand, I assisted those struggling on the brink of survival, and on the other, I vigorously promoted those talented creators who deserved more attention. Additionally, I left sincere and substantial comments for those who sought my help.

My teammates might say I'm crazy these days because I play around 20 games a day, each leaving over 200 words of commentary. These, to me, are the best "creations" from this competition. I'm a highly social person; what's important to me is the atmosphere, culture, and emotional shaping.

I enjoy making friends, communicating with people, and leaving genuine evaluations for things I care about. Language and time differences are not barriers for me, let alone obstacles—arrogance is.

I like everyone I've met and talked to here. Some have become friends. But what saddens me is that our friendship can only last these ten days or so. It's like our interactions are consuming a limited membership card, each one a stark reminder that we're about to part ways, never to meet again.

It pains me deeply.

I love @congeesetador and his game. It was the first game I played after submitting our own and passing out. He certainly brought many surprises. I love everyone in the Moving In and Moving On team; they made me believe that sincerity pays back a hundredfold. A small favor from me was repaid with almost everyone's support, which I'll remember for a long time. I love @marin-davys, who stood up for me when I was misunderstood and vouched for my character. We chatted a bit about Russian literature, and during that, I 'met' the lovely @kanity—I should have recognized her sooner because we played her game and loved it. I just didn't realize it was her in Discord. What a wonderful coincidence. I love the brother @rakowu, whose affirmation and encouragement were my biggest motivations to keep helping others instead of myself. His words clarified what I should do. I love @themaskedman; he seems a bit hot-headed but is actually very humble and interesting, even a bit shy, haha.

I'm not sure if I fully understand the so-called 'indie spirit', but the happiness and satisfaction these people have given me are more important than completing the competition or winning a place. Something inside is calling me, "Hey, you should talk more with these people; they are what you truly want." We help, appreciate, and encourage each other. We communicate with sincere hearts, away from commerce, operations, traffic, and all the mess—this is the truest form of gaming and the best jam.

But, as I said at the beginning, I'm already heartbroken thinking that in a week or two, we might have to go our separate ways. It's a loss that's hard to part with, a profound and unspeakable sorrow. You know it's inevitable, yet you're powerless to stop it.

Yet, I also believe in fate, in the mysterious connections that bring us together. I believe our meeting is not without reason, and farewell will not mean forever. They have shaped who I am today, and I will surely give back to them in the future.

I'm thinking, for the next LD, why not try to organize a 'United Nations fleet', bringing together these geniuses from millions of miles apart? Let's mix our hobbies and cultures into one magical potion—it would be fascinating. Saying this, I'm already getting excited.

In conclusion, I love you all, and I love this competition.
