My experience in the Jam last time was quite fun, even though I regrettably still haven’t been able to make a final update for the project because of a bug introduced in an update to Unreal Engine 4 which I built it in (though I’m hoping that was finally resolved in the latest update).
\n Additionally I’m refining a recent game jam projects<\/a> which I developed.<\/p>\n

I don’t want to end up with another project I have to spend time post-jam refining with current projects that still need work, so for this Ludum Dare I’m planning to develop the game in Construct 2 which I’ve completed some projects in the past with, which will hopefully allow me to complete the game entirely across the 72 hour period and not require post-jam refinements\/improvements to complete it, letting me make a fun small complete game that more people can easily access via HTML5\/web then return to my current projects.
\n If I can’t get a fun and stable experience going with the game design inside the first 12 hours then I’ll have to pass and return to my current projects.<\/p>\n

Largest problem beyond not having recent experience with the engine I foresee is, my 2D art…..is worse than programmer art, and I’m not even a programmer (unless you count visual programmer). So it’ll be rough with that, but hoping I can find a game design that works regardless, and I’m just hoping to take this opportunity to create another fun game for people to play and share.<\/p>","time":"December 4th, 2014 7:10 pm","title":"Potentially participating again"}
