It’s been a rough, sleepless three days, but my first ever Ludum Dare jam submission is finally up.\u00a0 You can find it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In retrospect, I probably could’ve managed my sleep schedule a bit more efficiently.\u00a0 This was my first game jam, and easily the most complex game I have ever created, so I learned quite a lot of things just from working on this.<\/p>\n

If I could do it all again, I’d probably go back in time and slap all the people that voted for Minimalism.\u00a0 It’s a very uninspiring, uncreative theme.\u00a0 We’re cranking out games in 3 days.\u00a0 I’m pretty sure the games would’ve been minimal with or without the theme.\u00a0 At worst, all it did was inspire a lot of un-games without any gameplay or graphics. :\/<\/p>\n

Still, I had an overall good experience.\u00a0 Special thanks to my other teammates, Tyler and Nathan for making this game awesome. \":)\"<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, with all the rush to complete the game, the poor, unloved potato easter egg fell to the wayside.\u00a0 I feel I have failed the Potato Challenge and failed as a french fry eater.<\/p>\n \n
