My little personal victory in this Ludum Dare (Sorry if it's a little Off-Topic)

While we're testing our games, I want to tell you a "quick" story, probably not very interesting to most of you, but it is something very special for me, and I want to share it with all of you.

Almost 3 years ago (April 2015) I participated in my first Ludum Dare (LD32), I was full of dreams and innocence and I bought a small bottle of Champagne to celebrate the moment when I uploaded my first finished game.

Long Story Short, that never happened.

The bottle stayed at the bottom of the fridge these years as a personal reminder, "Ok, the next Ludum will be the one". Years have passed and the Ludums were dropped again and again... and finally, in this Ludum Dare, "At first light on the third day" when the countdown was already ringing for many of you and I was on the couch passing a Cold, I said to myself: "Go on, think of something VERY small that you can do in just a few hours".

And from that little idea came "GameJam Survival Simulator". My first game submitted (at last) in a Ludum Dare, which has allowed me almost 3 years later to open that bottle and enjoy a small personal victory together with my partner (who helped me in a hurry with the animations that you can see in the game)

It was a wonderful moment that I wanted to share it with you.
