Hosted by yours truly, Jonny D… \u00a0MiniLD 23 will be a good time (see below).<\/span><\/p>\n

MiniLD 23 will begin at 9pm EST (2am UTC) on Friday, January 21st (moved up from the 28th due to conflict with Global Game Jam<\/strong>). \u00a0It will end at the same time on Sunday, January 23rd.<\/span><\/p>\n

MiniLD 23 begins [fergcorp_cdt_single date=”Fri, 21 Jan 2011 19:00:00 -700″]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until then, you can vote on the main theme. \u00a0There will be a sub theme announced as well when the mini compo starts. \u00a0There will be either an immense amount of groaning or excitement, since your choices for the main theme are taken from LD 19’s Round 3 list<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That’s right!\u00a0Vote here!!<\/strong><\/a> And like the monkey said at the fruit playoffs: Go bananas!<\/p>\n \n
