I caught interest to LD since its number was 24<\/strong> or even earlier. I was in vacation, so i enjoyed watching videos and played several games from it after.<\/p>\n

Ludum Dare 25<\/strong>. It’s a cold winter outside the window. \u00a0I was waiting on contest, and start of the contest motivated me to spend 2 days on creating ideas and at least i drew… a goat. I liked spending a couple of \u00a0hours on this process. But. Clocks are saying: the contest is over! \u00a0I lost my motivation on it, but new gameplay idea was born! Hurray! Only left to create the game. Maybe, some time later…<\/p>\n

Ludum Dare 26<\/strong>. 1 week before start. I’m emotionally talking to my friend about Ludum Dare and what it actually is, i’m taking part in theme voting, and every day i’m excited to look the round’s result. And the theme is… Minimalism! Boom! What the!? \u00a0It’s mostly my problem, that it’s hard for me to put one of my ideas into minimalistic space, cause my mind associates it with ‘bounding yourself with chains’. Also i can spend a couple of days into polishing an idea and creating a marvelous world in my head, and it’s not bad. The good idea must be grown with love from a little seed. \u00a0But here you must put all your creativeness and grow the idea during the process. Nobody force you to create a super-polished title. The main thing is to put your soul to the game<\/em>, and people will feel it.<\/p>\n

In another state, after cold-cold winter i wasn’t prepared enough with technical moments, like programming, tools. So i decided to prepare myself 100 percent to the next one.<\/p>\n

Ludum Dare 27<\/strong>: it’s already here! \u00a0I’m trying to do it, …<\/p>\n

Ludum Dare 28<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0Stop! This possibility will be in future.<\/p>\n

Maybe, the problem was, that i haven’t announced myself in participation? So, 3 long-expected words: \u00a0<\/em>I am in !<\/strong><\/p>\n

And doesn’t matter, that i haven’t finished preparing programming<\/strong> tools, or another stuff. You can choose an already made powerful engine or game constructor.<\/p>\n

Can’t draw<\/strong>? Try! Everyone have possibility to draw. Watch the world every second, and you will found, that there are many things, happening \u00a0just right now near you, that you haven’t noticed before. You can also collaborate with more experienced artist and take part in the jam.<\/p>\n

Motivation<\/strong>? Taking \u00a0part in a such big event and share with people, what you create, motivates me very-very-very!<\/p>\n

I’m going for the jam (i like to spend a lot of time on thinking on prototype, read above \":)\" Now i’m going to sleep(it’s night by me), so see you on the start!<\/p>","time":"August 23rd, 2013 12:31 pm","title":"A long time ago\u2026"}
