It’s about that time, folks. It’s time not only for a Mini-LD, but a Mini-LD hosted by none other than #ld’s resident moody grump, ME!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This isn’t going to have a complex theme system, nor a weird “meta” theme. It’s pretty straightforward, actually.<\/p>\n

The theme for Mini-LD #25 is…<\/p>\n

The Worst Game I Have Ever Made<\/h2>\n

The objective here is to make the biggest godawful train wreck of a game that you possibly can. Crappy pixel art (Or worse, clip art), nightmarish level design, and a complete lack of cogency are ideal for this challenge.<\/p>\n

Mini-LD #25 begins at 12AM UTC on March 12, and ends at 12AM UTC on March 14.<\/p>\n

Here is the keynote for this Mini-LD, delivered by former president George W. Bush. (Yes, a keynote for a Mini-LD! I’m fancy like that.) (Edit: Thanks PoV!)<\/em><\/p>\n
