Spent hours to fix it, without success. Now that I rebooted my PC, everything runs smoothly. Let&#8217;s hope I don&#8217;t encounter this during the competition, or else I&#8217;m going to lose a lot of time&#8230; I probably will skip anything internet related &#8211; apart from uploading my files.<\/p>\n <p>Speaking of time &#8211; LD 27 will start at 3 AM my timezone. I guess I&#8217;ll just go to bed before midnight (preferably), and sleep my 8 hours. I&#8217;ll get up early aswell, if I manage to get up in the morning without tossing the alarm out of my window.<\/p>\n <p>On a positive sidenote, I don&#8217;t expect the website to be as overloaded as it&#8217;s been predicted to be when the 48h countdown starts.<\/p>\n <p>As far as the topics are concerned, I totally hope it to be one of the following:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Alchemy [Whenever I play a game from the TES series, it&#8217;s what I try to level up first. Buy cheap, sell high, gain levels :P]<\/li>\n <li>Evil vs Evil [Having the player control the good guys is standard. Having the player control the bad guys to fight the good is rare, even if there are a few exceptions like Evil Genius or Dungeon Keeper. Fighting Evil with more Evil sounds like fun.]<\/li>\n <li>Parallel Worlds [This seems to fit perfectly to some puzzle themed game. Maybe a bit like Metroid Prime: Echoes. Connected, yet different. And sci-fi.]<\/li>\n <li>Replication [They already are too many. There will be more. And more. And more. Yeah, that&#8217;s about it.]<\/li>\n <li>Space [Spaaaaaaceee!]<\/li>\n <li>Surveillance [Cameras, traps, good cops, bad cops, worse cops, &#8230; and a puppeteer controlling it all.]<\/li>\n <li>You must leave it behind [Moral dilemmas ahead. Whyyyyy? *tear runs down the cheek* Okay, who&#8217;s been cutting onions?]<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>There are a few other interesting topics, but I believe that Survival is waaay overused lately, and strange power-ups is a bit limiting, imo&#8230;<\/p>\n <p>Good luck everyone, I guess I&#8217;m out for today!<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>","time":"August 23rd, 2013 9:43 am","title":"Debug issues"}
