And why wouldn’t they let you go out? Play Until Tomorrow to find out!

Check out my narrative based RPG!

… SUBJECT 26 got decent rank.

I think I can say I know how fatherhood feels now.  No matter how good your kid does, you always expect more out of him.

Thanks everyone!  And many happy returns!

…I’m excited for the results!

I have to play some games before the judging ends :/

Did you know that you could give other LDers trophies? Simply go to their profile and click the “Award a Trophy!” button.

Since I recently had the chance to play some games, I noticed most people have only a few trophies. I’m going to start giving some to revive the practice 😛

Go try this puzzler!

Go try it!

This is my fourth time, so I may not be the most experienced guy with LD… But I always noticed that

Did anyone else have a similar experience?

Should I worry if my game is not getting as many comments as last time?

    seen = scrCamSees(objPlayer.x, objPlayer.y);
    if (seen) {
        with (objPlayer) {
            var wallpaper = instance_position(x, y, objWallpaper);
            if (instance_exists(wallpaper)
                    && wallpaper.image_blend == image_blend) {
                other.seen = false;
            } else {
                scrShapeshift(false);
            }
        }
    }

Go play!

Go play SUBJECT 26!

In SUBJECT 26 you’re trying to escape this underground asylum by the name of A.M.A.Z.I.N. Should be fun if you like retro puzzlers.

I wanted to thank everyone who’s made LD possible. And I hope it continues to always be the great event that it is. This time around I got a chance to:

• Make a cool game:

  

• Get a good rank:

  

• And get an awesome video review:

Thank you all!

I noticed that some of the top entries only got 10-15 comments. I’m not saying this is good or bad, but I can guess that these entries didn’t get that many votes. However, they were very successful in captivating their first score of voters. I always thought that getting to the top meant more votes — Turns out I’m wrong. I wanted to hear your thoughts on this guys. Do you prefer less or more votes on your game?

Many Votes
I prefer to have more votes on my game, because the more feedback I get the better I learn from the experience. Plus statistics tells us that a larger sample always gives us better confidence in our stats (namely “mean game score” in this case). With a big sample, outlier bad votes should not affect the overall score. An example outlier comment on my game:

Few Votes
If you’re confident enough that your game will land at the appropriate player base, you may want to take the risk. This may not be totally due to luck though. If you take this approach, you have to perfect the game so that it’s accessible to a very wide player base. A good thing with not trying for many votes is that you don’t have to look like an “attention seeking dev”.

Again, those those are just some random thoughts.

So hyped!!!
