(EDIT: Woo hoo, we got voting! Thanks so much, you made my day. I officially owe you one, GBGames. I tip my proverbial hat to you.)

First off let me say I love Ludum Dare, and the few people that did bother to foster a sense of community between peers during the last compo were wonderful. But honestly, the silence was deafening this weekend and for me it felt like we all just worked alone. Sure there was some nice IRC chatter, and sure the host did have a power failure and wasn’t able to participate. It was not his fault at all.

What do YOU think? Was the sense of community “brothers-in-arms” that you got out of Mini LD #20 what you expected? Did you, like me, want more? Did it feel disorganized? Like a ghost town? Did you feel part of a community or did you feel like you were alone in your efforts? Did you wish for a bigger “pat on the back”?

A think a flameless discourse regarding how the minis could be better run would be helpful for the community – but I don’t want a troll fest so before you get angry please note that I do hold each and every one of my fellow coders in very high regard.

Much respect,

BMcF
