Alright, so, I’m out of time, and I’m not done. But here’s the thing. I don’t care! I knew this would happen in the back of my head when I went with my crazy idea. You see, when I first thought of it, I threw it away immediately. It was too ambitious. But then I remembered Chevy Ray’s advice from reddit. Throwing out the first idea was a tip for making a game you wanted to win.<\/p>\n

I realized I didn’t want to win. I wanted to make something epic. And so, I decided to forget everything they tell you about going for something you could finish or something basic and just make my idea.<\/p>\n

So, I did. And it bit me back. But was it a mistake? Absolutely not. I can still make the Jam’s deadline. I can still make a great game out of this.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To everyone who has\u00a0received advice from me, and I tried to give a lot, I’m truly sorry I didn’t follow it myself. Yet at the same time, I’m not. Now, to finish this thing!<\/p>","time":"August 26th, 2012 5:34 pm","title":"Entering the Jam"}
