I didn&#8217;t devote nearly the amount of time needed to make the October challenge a success. One big issue is, I didn&#8217;t really plan out my time\/tasks. I hope to remedy that, and my goal is a first playable by the end of November. In early december, I&#8217;d like to either do a first release, or some type of pre order scheme. I need to sit down, and actually write this plan out.<\/p>\n <p>I posted the game to the unfinished section of this site. I will post the link below for ease of finding. I&#8217;d love feedback on how to build on what I have. For November, I will be posting to indiedb.com, and Facebook. Also, I&#8217;d love to hear notes on how those that completed this challenge did it. When did you know to cut? How did you priortize stuff? All in all, i&#8217;m glad stuff like this exists. It&#8217;s great to have a community to share\/get feedback from. Now I just have to finish the game\u2026<\/p>\n <p>Feel free to follow me on Twitter as I&#8217;ll post updates there as well.<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/marvinhawkins\"><em>@MarvinHawkins<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n <p><em><strong>Links:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <p><strong>Indie DB page:<\/strong> \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiedb.com\/games\/bonus-stage-inc\/news\"> http:\/\/www.indiedb.com\/games\/bonus-stage-inc\/news<\/a><\/p>\n <p><strong>Facebook Page:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/BonusStageInc\/218713654894051\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/BonusStageInc\/218713654894051<\/a><\/p>\n <p><strong>Game Demo:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/marvinhawkins.com\/SkyHawksv10.html\">http:\/\/marvinhawkins.com\/SkyHawksv10.html<\/a><\/p>","time":"November 5th, 2012 8:52 pm","title":"The October Challenge is Dead, Long Live the November.."}
