\"Thanks\"<\/a>Secret Link To My Game<\/a><\/p>\n

First of all, congratulations to all my fellow LD participants. I’ve played a ton of awesome games from the compo and, now that the results are out, I’m finding a bunch of the cool games that I missed out on during the voting period. It’s a lot of fun to see how much people are capable of creating within such a limited period of time. Impressive work all around.<\/p>\n

Now on to the self promotion…<\/p>\n

Back during the August Ludum Dare, I made my first video game ever. It was alright. I was (and still am) incredibly proud of what I was able to accomplish my first time out, but it wasn’t an incredibly strong game. I cracked the top 100 in mood and received generally positive feedback\/ratings, but it had a ton of flaws. It wass a strong start but I wanted to make sure I improved for LD28. As I was preparing for LD28 I had set my sights on a particular target – to reach the top 100 in four categories. I knew that I was aiming high and that I likely wouldn’t hit the target, but that’s what I told myself that I was aiming for. Sadly, I didn’t get four categories within the top 100.<\/p>\n

I got five<\/a>. Four of which were in the top 25. On top of that, I somehow ended up with 1st place in Audio. Which was WAY more than I expected. If I’m reading this graph correctly, I believe that I’ve improved:<\/p>\n

\"AtmospheriumPerformance\"<\/p>\n

And it seems that my ranking has given my game a SLIGHT boost in plays over the last 24 hours. My game has been played more in the last 24 hours than the previous 3 weeks combined. A significant majority are from Germany for some reason. (Danke f\u00fcr die Unterst\u00fctzung!)<\/p>\n

\"Clicks\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As you may have guessed, I’m really excited by my results this time around. I’m working on developing the post-compo version of my game further and, for the time being, all updated versions will be available on Kongregate<\/a>. Look for new levels (including new music) in the coming weeks. And I’m on Twitter<\/a>, Soundcloud<\/a>, and them Facebooks<\/a> if you feel like pursuing our online friendship further. You know you want to.<\/p>","time":"January 7th, 2014 4:56 pm","title":"Sch\u00f6nen Dank"}
