Hey, everybody, I just wanted to post something to celebrate the fact that after many failed MiniLD’s, I finally completed one. So huzzah!<\/p>\n

I wasn’t planning on making a game over the weekend at all, but me and Michcioperz were talking to Finnbar Thursday when we confirmed that he hadn’t actually made a game yet, despite posting regularly on Idea Squish<\/a>. Then I remembered that\u00a022Jams<\/a>\u00a0was happening the 29th-30th, with the challenge to make a game with someone on your team who hasn’t. It was too perfect to pass up. But of course, 22Jams’ lack of any real theme was a bit too broad for our brainstorming, so we borrowed the themes “Music” and “Dreams” to end up participating in two jams at once.<\/p>\n

I’m pretty proud of what came out. Finnbar came up with the whole idea in an odd music-drunk trance on IRC. (He later edited around what he said in that chat to make up the story.) I coded all the visual stuff and gameplay changes while he coded\/composed the music. Michi just did whatever he felt like. \":)\"<\/p>\n

It would be great if you could check out the game and leave a comment. The whole thing only lasts about three and a half minutes. We had a great time, and thanks to johnfn for great themes!<\/p>","time":"July 1st, 2013 10:44 am","title":"My Team\u2019s MiniLD Entry"}
