\n I gave up too many times. I almost gave up this time.
\n But the sooner or later you’ll reach the point where your mind wants to finish the game more than giving up. OP is right.

I’ve been seeing posts of people thinking about giving up or dropping out.<\/p>\n

DONT DO IT!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’re not even half-way through the time yet. Don’t like your game premise? Look at other people posting about their games to get ideas. Original idea too complicated to implement? Too many bugs? Throw away the broken stuff you’ve built so far, simplify your idea so it fits in the remaining time, and get to work! A false start is no reason to give up! Stick it out! You’ll be glad you did.<\/p>","time":"August 21st, 2010 1:42 pm","title":"Don\u2019t Give Up!"}
