I\u2019ve noticed that a lot of people rate games without leaving any comment. I don\u2019t remember it being this much the case for previous game jams.<\/p>\n

I think we can all agree that for the most part, Ludum Dare and other game jams are about learning from our mistakes and improving our gamedev skills. This is not a popularity contest (well, not at first anyway). If nobody leaves any comment, however harsh they may be, nobody will improve.<\/p>\n

So, for the sake of self-improvement, please leave your opinions when you rate a game, even if there is not much positive things to say, constructive criticism is always helpful. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>","time":"August 26th, 2015 4:19 pm","title":"Guys, don\u2019t forget to comment when rating!","title_was_empty":false}
