Since doing <em>The Wager<\/em> at the end of last year for LD19, we&#8217;ve been tinkering with it and working on our next projects. But we&#8217;re hoping to take a break from our current project this December to have another go for LD22, as long as any unforseen busy-ness doesn&#8217;t prevent us as can happen this time of year. So make that a tentative we&#8217;re in!<\/p>\n <p>As for<em> The Wager<\/em>, we&#8217;ve had thousands of people play it which beats our initial estimate of &#8216;maybe twelve,&#8217; and we got such cool feedback that we&#8217;ve been dipping in and out of it for the last few months and have finally <a href=\"http:\/\/www.surprisedman.co.uk\/the-wager\/\" target=\"_blank\">released 1.2<\/a> (an improved version of 1.1, which itself was an improved version of the Ludam Dare Jam submission). It&#8217;s a Windows game, in case you&#8217;re wondering. Thanks for the LD people for making it happen.<\/p>","time":"November 28th, 2011 6:50 am","title":"Surprised Man hope to be in for the Jam, release The Wager 1.2"}
