\n I would suggest to narrow down the reasons that made you not finish. Maybe write a post mortem just to get that clear. You seem not to be very clear about the reasons and if you don’t recognize them, it may happen again.","spam":"N"},{"author_name":"","time":"February 25, 2014 5:35 pm","epoch":1393367700,"text":"I think you should finish playable game before art asset. \":)\"","spam":"N"},{"author_name":"LiberalNerdism","time":"February 26, 2014 4:01 pm","epoch":1393448460,"text":"Don’t let it get you down. As has already been said, look at this as a learning experience. Making a game in four days is HARD. Not making it on your first try is nothing to be ashamed of. If you check out compohub there are a ton of other jams coming right up. I suggest you collect yourself and try try again!

I almost made it. I was doing SO well, but I ultimately failed. I want to blame my failure on an IRL event, but I know it was all me. I shouldn’t have attended it. This means so much to me because I WANTED to get this done on time. This is my first time participating in something like this and actually getting anything substantial finished. I feel so disappointed now. Maybe I was too ambitious? Maybe I wasted too much time doing IRL things and I need to spend less time away from my work? I dunno.<\/p>","time":"February 24th, 2014 11:10 pm","title":"Almost made it, and I failed"}
