For me, it is almost mandatory to participate in Ludum Dare, every single time I stop to acknowledge how much I've improved over 6 years of Ludum Dare, I also remember why this event is so important for me, and also for each member of this community how evolved alongside with me :D

For sure we are going to have a good time next weekend, I'm eager to see what you guys are going to put together!
When I first took place in the event, back when I was 13 and barely could read English, I have to admit that I was a little bit afraid of doing this, but oh boy, how I'm glad for that first try. - I made a terrible game, accidentally broke some rules, and got extremely ashamed about that, but at the end of the day, it was for sure a worth experience.
I'm grateful for our community and how much you helped me improve as a developer. Here's a quick chart showing my ratings, I feel like it is always great to keep track of progress :)

I wish you luck folks,
have fun!
