We are two high school students, in our second last year, and game design is a big part of our lives.<\/p>\n<p>I told Jack that the Jam was approaching, and we organised for him to stay at my house for the weekend, so we could enter it together. The theme was announced at noon on Saturday, in our\u00a0time-zone\u00a0(Brisbane, Australia). We spent 10 seconds wondering where the theme was, until we decided to go on Twitter and check there. After hearing that the theme was minimalism, we were a flurry of shock, excitement, and confusion. Jack had no idea what minimalism meant, and I had no idea what to do with the theme.<\/p>\n<p>So anyway, 28 hours, and 4 prototypes later, we settled on the idea for \u2018You Are Alone\u2019. Jack went home an hour later, and after a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mikeeroe\/status\/328405157102645248\" target=\"_blank\">slight accident that\u00a0occurred\u00a0with my laptop<\/a>, we were back on schedule, with Jack giving me ideas over Facebook, and me implementing those ideas in the game.<\/p>\n<p>I uploaded the entry this morning, after some <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mikeeroe\/status\/328992106192445441\" target=\"_blank\">slight troubles with file uploaders<\/a>, and literally ran out the door to my bus stop, leaving my laptop on behind me. I got onto the bus, with hardly any breath left within me, and told Jack the good news. \u201cThe game is up\u201d I said. Yeah, I\u2019m not one for speeches.<\/p>\n<p>So yeah, the game is up, and Jack and I have opened \u2018Senosus\u2019, a small indie games design studio! And guess what! We have a game to show for it! <img alt=\":D\" class=\"wp-smiley\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_biggrin.gif\"\/> What are you waiting for, go play \u2018You Are Alone\u2019, and please vote! <img alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-26\/?action=preview&amp;uid=23387\" target=\"_blank\">PLAY THE GAME HERE<\/a>\u00a0<img alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Michael Roe, founder of Senosus!<\/p>","time":"April 29th, 2013 11:16 pm","title":"You Are Alone","title_was_empty":false}
