I’m out!

No ratings?

I don’t know if you are in the ratings or no-ratings camp, but for me the ratings were the whole point. My goal is to make a game that ranks higher than games I’ve created before. With no ratings, I have almost zero motivation to take part in this. If a handful of people cheated, that only affects the rankings so slightly it makes very little difference (so your game is #332 instead of #315).

It pains me that LD has gathered such momentum, only to risk becoming something I’m no longer interested in. On the other hand I’m happy that now I’ll have 48 hours to spend on something else!

I don’t fault you for not wanting to enter, I too enter to see if I can beat my last game. The only reason I’m going to take part in this one is just so my streak isn’t broken again. I missed out on LD24 back in august of 2012 and I kind of wish I hadn’t. Anyways, hopefully we’ll see you for the next LD in December!

I really like the ratings too, but I still can gauge pretty easily whether or not I’ve improved or not on my own. I’m also competing with a friend for once, so the jam will be pretty new and fun too.

I totally agree. I’m only planning to make a very short game to not break my streak of eight LDs in a row.
