Gameplay was fairly boring, involving just selecting an option and watching a progress meter.

It was too easy, with no real decision points. Fun and Theme were my lowest scores; Graphics and Humor were the highest.<\/li>\n <li>LD 27 &#8211; <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-27\/?action=preview&amp;uid=17861\">Picto-Tel<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; a multi-player game of &#8216;telephone&#8217; and sketching. It was very unlike most games here, which gave it a higher Innovation score, but may have left it lacking in other ways. Theme was also a highly scored category, while Fun and Humor were low.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p><a style=\"float: left;margin-right: 3em\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2013\/12\/09\/i-am-in-for-ludum-dare-28\/icon_eye\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-302554\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-302554\" alt=\"icon_eye\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/icon_eye.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a>For LD 28 I have the weekend set aside,\u00a0and I think I will focus on some personal goals:<\/p>\n <ul style=\"padding-left: 4em\">\n <li>Fun! &#8211; especially in having something memorable and having high replay value<\/li>\n <li>Theme! &#8211; I love trying to fit the game to the theme<\/li>\n <li>Animation &#8211; none of my previous games have offered much animation, so I&#8217;ll try to add some more movement and animation<\/li>\n <li>Learn a new library &#8211; either three.js, backbone.js, or learn more about about raphael<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>I will be using&#8230;<\/p>\n <p><strong>Languages<\/strong>: JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, PHP?<\/p>\n <p><strong>Libraries<\/strong>: jQuery, Raphael, Backbone?, Three.js?, Mustache.js?<\/p>\n <p><strong>Graphics Tools<\/strong>:\u00a0Photoshop, Pickle<\/p>\n <p><strong>Sound Tools<\/strong>: Bfxr, Garage Band<\/p>\n <p><strong>Dev Tools<\/strong>: Notepad++, Chrome, FireFTP, HostGator<\/p>\n <p>For more info on this Ludum Dare follow my tumblr with the LD28 tag &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/deathraygames.tumblr.com\/tagged\/LD28\">http:\/\/deathraygames.tumblr.com\/tagged\/LD28<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; or my twitter &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/deathraygames\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/deathraygames<\/a><\/p>\n <p>Good luck to everyone!<\/p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/goals\/\" rel=\"tag\">goals<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/im-in\/\" rel=\"tag\">im in<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/ld28\/\" rel=\"tag\">LD28<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/tools\/\" rel=\"tag\">tools<\/a><\/p>","time":"December 9th, 2013 8:14 pm","title":"I am in for Ludum Dare 28."}
