So I have this grand idea, the life of a middle-schooler, with random events, and the world flowing in real-world-ish time, where you’d actually have to go to school and sit in class for so many hours, and all, and you could close the game and come back after school and it’d be dinner or something.<\/p>\n

But I realized that that’s a bit overly ambitious, and I’m not sure if I can do it justice in the time I’m given (after losing most of the day, I have like 7 hours-ish until the compo is technically over, and only a few days after that, I think, until the end of submissions). <\/p>\n

So I think it’s back to the drawing board, but if I can’t come up with anything else really soon, I’ll probably attempt it anyways.<\/p>","time":"September 22nd, 2012 2:21 pm","title":"I have\/had an idea"}
