I then entered the next LD The weekend before a big maths test which I failed and got in trouble for. Worth it! For that game I tried a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-28\/?action=preview&amp;uid=25132\" target=\"_blank\">point and click game\u00a0<\/a>which turned out pretty good but super glitchy. Last ludum dare I really enjoyed and had no real problems <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-29\/?action=preview&amp;uid=25132\" target=\"_blank\">creating a diving game<\/a>\u00a0. In other words the last year has been one big learning experience a lot of which I owe to ludum dare. As well as this I learned how to make chiptune music which is <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/breogan-hackett\" target=\"_blank\">all on my soundcloud<\/a>\u00a0I would appreciate if you listened to it and gave some feedback. I have also entered two other jams,<a href=\"http:\/\/itch.io\/jam\/candyjam\" target=\"_blank\"> &#8220;candy Jam&#8221;<\/a> for which I made <a href=\"http:\/\/boaheck.itch.io\/candy-rush-saga\" target=\"_blank\">this<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/jams.gamejolt.io\/indie3jam\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;indie3 Jam&#8221;<\/a> which I organised myself for which I made <a href=\"http:\/\/gamejolt.com\/games\/action\/swords-curse\/28086\/\" target=\"_blank\">Swords Curse<\/a>\u00a0which I am still working on. Thank you ludum dare for helping my dreams of making games come to fruition.<\/p>\n <p>Now that my shameless self promotion is over.
