X( I decided to start from scratch this morning, as yesterday&#8217;s work was, simply put, crap \ud83d\ude1b 18 hours to complete the work of 48. Difficult? Nah, piece of cake!<br \/>\n Indeed!!!!<\/p>\n <p>I&#8217;m proud I got the game to a point where it is playable (somewhat)\u00a0in such a short amount of time. Yet it is not playable enough for me to submit it. So, this time I couldn&#8217;t manage to complete the LD challenge and, man, that stings&#8230; The odds were tough, that&#8217;s true, yet I never gave up hope. I guess that&#8217;s a lesson to be learned from the experience, as powerful and tiresome as the last time.<\/p>\n <p>Well, here&#8217;s what the game, &#8220;Ascendead Masters&#8221; (kudos to those who know where the name comes from ;D) looks like after roughly 16 hours of work:<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2012\/08\/26\/the-snow-balls-chance-in-hell-and-i-lost\/screenshot100-83\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-174256\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-174256\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/screenshot10014-300x112.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"112\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/screenshot10014-300x112.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/screenshot10014-550x206.png 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/screenshot10014.png 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2012\/08\/26\/the-snow-balls-chance-in-hell-and-i-lost\/screenshot101-50\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-174169\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-174169\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/screenshot1018-300x112.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"112\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/screenshot1018-300x112.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/screenshot1018-550x206.png 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/screenshot1018.png 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n <p>Next time, I&#8217;ll prevail.
