I was making major bets on several of the other themes; this one, however, was unexpected.

Given the less than mediocre performances of previous LDs, I decided on a stricter schedule. Currently, I have 123 minutes left until the design is frozen, and I’m still trying to come up with an approach that isn’t a half-asses Spore or E.V.O. clone. Hopefully a more slick, less overambitious approach will actually leave me with a solid package this time.
