Bah – it’s basically<\/em> Friday, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

Like the last TIGSource contest, this contest has a dual theme<\/em>. You and you teammates can choose to use either theme, or both. <\/p>\n

The themes are Comedy<\/strong> and Tragedy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Unlike other Ludum Dares, this time you are required to collaborate! (If you haven’t found a partner yet, see the post below this one.) If your team decides to use both themes, each member should take creative responsibility of one theme each and ensure it finds a place in the game.<\/p>\n

You can make the game at any stage this weekend that suits you. And don’t worry if you can’t start for a few days or if the project goes a little beyond the usual 48 hours – I have a very loose definition of weekends that includes Wednesdays.<\/p>\n

Whenever you’re ready, you can submit your game here!<\/a><\/p>","time":"November 12th, 2009 6:52 pm","title":"Mini LD #14, Go!"}
