I was not at all disappointed. I surprised myself by making not just <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kongregate.com\/games\/devwil\/expecting-a-call\">one<\/a> but <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kongregate.com\/games\/devwil\/tyranny\">two<\/a> <\/strong>games in less than 12 hours total, and this month has been crazy productive for me outside of this weekend as well.<\/p>\n <p>Pardon my self-promotion, but this month I also finished <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kongregate.com\/games\/devwil\/flagship\">another game<\/a> and two totally playable prototypes (which I won&#8217;t link to, as\u2013 though they&#8217;re feature-complete as far as I originally conceived they would be\u2013 I&#8217;m not sure they&#8217;re <em>done<\/em>). And it&#8217;s not even three weeks in!<\/p>\n <p>I&#8217;m incredibly satisfied, and I also feel great knowing that so much creativity just explodes all over the internet in a Ludum Dare weekend. Even only having played a few games and interacting with a few developers, it&#8217;s just such an immensely positive force. I won&#8217;t say I wish Ludum Dare was every weekend (I think that&#8217;d make it less exciting), but I&#8217;m eagerly looking forward to the next one.<\/p>\n <p>Also, incalculable thanks are in order to the people behind FlashPunk and SFXR, who make making things a lot easier than they could be.<\/p>\n <p>And thanks to the organizers of LD48, of course!<\/p>","time":"December 18th, 2011 5:00 pm","title":"What a December!"}
