I should start working less on cool engines (such as my voxel and terrain engines), and focus more on fun gameplay and finishing games. I think I have a lot of ability, but I&#8217;m using it in the wrong spot. Maybe the next dare I&#8217;ll be prepared for a different approach to the competition.<\/p>\n <p>Good luck to everyone&#8217;s entry!<\/p>\n <p>My entry:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-28\/?action=preview&amp;uid=18565\">http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-28\/?action=preview&amp;uid=18565<\/a><\/p>","time":"December 16th, 2013 12:12 pm","title":"LD28 Complete"}
