My submission A Game of Towns <\/a>is up now. It’s not exactly the way I had planned it, but I am quite happy with it given the time.<\/p>\n

Play it here<\/a><\/p>\n

I had hoped to do things like scaling up the play and adding upgrades, but I quickly learned that Javascript is not the language for me. I think the majority of my weekend was spent trying to decipher what the type of certain variables were. I definitely like my languages TypeSafe.<\/p>\n

Unlike my previous game for Ludum Dare, I am actually thinking about keeping the development going. I’ve always been interested in simulations, and that’s really all my submission does.<\/p>\n

I have a laundry list of features I wish I could have added, but my main regret is not being able to add any real user interaction or skill into the game. It is<\/em> fairly fun to watch though, in my opinion.<\/p>\n

Well, I look forward to everyone’s games and especially look forward to finally going to sleep.<\/p>","time":"August 26th, 2012 6:46 pm","title":"A Game of Towns is Submitted"}
