My LD was going so well.

I started out Friday night with some pretty awesome ideas involving randomly generated worlds and the complex economic ties between them. In my vision, you could manipulate the market by feeding both sides of a war, or hiring pirates to take out a crucial shipment of food to a war-torn nation in order to raise demand, or tipping off a nation’s enemy of a shipment from the nation’s ally, in order to turn the two against each other.

With this rather enormous scope, I began making random alien generators, random name generators, and random color generators.

But then, on Saturday afternoon, I just stopped. My motivation flooded away leaving my impatient with pretty much everything, and supremely unwilling to work on my game.

I dropped out, rather than waste such a good idea by scaling it down. I made a quick jokey thing, but it was pretty difficult, primarily because my motivation still hadn’t returned.

And it still hasn’t. I’m just hoping I’ll muster up enough to play some games so people will play my game.

So anyway, if anyone is peering under their bed looking for a sock, and happens to stumble upon my motivation, please send it along.

Thanks.
