I am ever so close to finishing up HAckBotZ. I plan on putting it up for bidding on flashgamelicense.com within the next couple of days.  While technically I will miss the the deadline, I am still quite happy with my progress. Good or bad this will be my first ‘finished’ game, and I credit the October Challenge for motivating me to do it.  There is  something about the LudumDare compos/challenges getting a group of people working towards the same goal and posting about their progress that is quite motivating and fun.
