Results are in<\/strong><\/p>\n

So i spent the night like most of you, strangely nervous and impatient awaiting the release of the results. When they were posted up, i hesitatingly clicked to find out how i had done.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure if “proud” would be a great word to use for my descriptive of how i feel about the results, \u00a0Some\u00a0categories\u00a0i expected to do low in,\u00a0\u00a0Innovation for example. \u00a0others i was quite pleased with my placement for my first LD and game ever, \u00a0Graphics and Overall \/ Fun for example. \u00a0 \u00a0I try not to focus to much on placement, there were so many entries for December, so many amazing games.<\/p>\n

To achieve \u00a03.04 overall for my first ever game, i have to say, its not to shabby, sure it would have been nice to have achieved more, but to achieve that with the simple idea i had is nothing short of surprising to me. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I still believe i played it way to safe, i should have pushed a little more, so that’s my plan for April, to up my ratings on innovation and use of the theme.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Final Comments:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This has been one hell of an experience, and whilst it would have been nice to have a one hit wonder, right off the bat, i prefer having an\u00a0opportunity\u00a0to grow and develop my “skills”. \u00a0So watch this space people. I’m coming for you! haha.<\/p>\n

<\/em>I still plan on working on a\u00a0January\u00a0release of STS, which i know will be an improvement on the LD31 release, going to use my ratings to develop the game into something more, \u00a0I plan to keep my blog\u00a0updated on progress (please comment if you would like a link to that, i don’t want to just go ahead and link it).
\n <\/em>
\n Congratulations to the top 100 games and congratulations to everyone else, Regardless of ratings, what you and I achieved in getting something playable out in the time given. \u00a0Its a win in itself. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you to everyone who rated and played STS.
