\n I started programming and as I advanced in developement I changed my whole concept every 20 minutes as I discovered more “innovative” ways to do something.
\n At the end of the competition I just got a bunch of user friendly APIs glued together and a game that lastet 13 seconds. Just focus on creating the game you thought of at the beginning(you really should do so), and don’t make the same mistake like me.

Ludum Dare 48 will be my first time participating in this event, or rather in any game jam event. I’m still not sure what I have to expect and if i can handle it.<\/p>\n

For programing I’ll probably be using the C# with the XNA framework since I already got some experience with it and learning something new like unity in such a short timespan wouldn’t be possible. Maybe I’ll prepare a little bit better next time \":)\"<\/p>\n

I’m nervous because I have no idea if I’m even able to manage to create something that’s not completely worthless. But we’ll see!<\/p>\n

Greetings from Austria and have fun to all the participants!<\/p>","time":"August 21st, 2012 9:59 am","title":"Nervous about my first participation"}
