Getting the best spread of any entry in the jam but still losing in 'Overall', seems like my fault - fun was the deciding category and we were only 24th.

I realised the major problems we made from watching streams later but no one playtested it pre release so by then it was too late.\n\nEither way it gives a reason to keep trying I guess. My congratulations of course to the jam (and compo) winners though - good job gang, keep on jamming.","comments":3,"comments-timestamp":"2024-05-05T15:31:36Z","created":"2024-05-05T03:03:43Z","files":[],"files-timestamp":0,"id":395098,"love":8,"love-timestamp":"2024-05-05T15:50:06Z","meta":[],"modified":"2024-05-05T15:50:06Z","name":"Got 3 gold medals (but messed up and came 2nd overall)","node-timestamp":"2024-05-05T03:22:01Z","parent":388726,"parents":[1,5,9,383062,388726],"path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/55\/seance\/got-3-gold-medals-but-only-silver-overall-rip-the-wikipedia-article-dream","published":"2024-05-05T03:21:12Z","scope":"public","slug":"got-3-gold-medals-but-only-silver-overall-rip-the-wikipedia-article-dream","subsubtype":"","subtype":"","type":"post","version":1238651},"node_metadata":{"n_key":"395098","n_urlkey":"443413","n_parent":"388726","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/55\/seance\/got-3-gold-medals-but-only-silver-overall-rip-the-wikipedia-article-dream","n_slug":"got-3-gold-medals-but-only-silve","n_type":"post","n_subtype":"","n_subsubtype":"","n_author":"2836","n_created":"1714878223","n_modified":"1714924206","n_version":"1238651","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"source_url":"https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/55\/seance\/got-3-gold-medals-but-only-silver-overall-rip-the-wikipedia-article-dream","text":"Here's our results for seance.
