The beginning works, and the middle works. There&#8217;s no end per se, but you can play the same 10 seconds over and over if you want.<\/p>\n <p>The problem is that it&#8217;s 2am and it will probably take another 6 hours to finish the game to a reasonable standard. I could submit to LD as-is, but it&#8217;s barely playable. I&#8217;ve only spent 10 &#8211; 12 hours working on the game due to other commitments and being in an awkward time zone. So I&#8217;m going to polish it up tomorrow and submit it to the catch-all that seems to be the jam. I think I&#8217;ll feel happier releasing a more finished product. Although it&#8217;s a shame to delay it, because it&#8217;ll be compared to games by larger teams and games with much more work put into them. Maybe one year I&#8217;ll manage to do LD without interruption.<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>Anyway, progress pictures:<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/008_fight.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-282785\" alt=\"The Duel\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/008_fight.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/008_fight-300x200.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/008_fight-550x366.png 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/008_fight.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/007_fight.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-282786\" alt=\"The Duel\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/007_fight.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/007_fight-300x200.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/007_fight-550x366.png 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/007_fight.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>","time":"August 25th, 2013 7:33 am","title":"It works.
