Congrats to everyone who finished a game today for LD24!<\/p>\n

I crashed and burned early this time round\u2026<\/p>\n

On a positive note, though, I just found out that my LD22 entry, \u201cQuiet, Please!\u201d went live tonight in the iOS App Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you look back at my journal history<\/a>, you can see the evolution of \u201cQuiet, Please!\u201d from the initial Ludum Dare entry, to the post-compo version, to an Xbox Indie Games release and then to Android.<\/p>\n

I want to encourage people who have created games in the last 48 hours to not just leave it at that.<\/p>\n

Put some more work in. Expand the game. Polish it. Release it to a wider audience.<\/p>\n

You might just find that there is an audience for your game outside of the Ludum Dare community.<\/p>\n

Making a game in 48 hours is hard \u2013 so if you do end up coming out of it with a game on your hands, considering moving forward with it.<\/p>\n
