I finished my game yesterday before noon.

Is way too simple but it served my purposes. One of the things I wanted to learn in this ludum dare (because the ludum dare is a mean for learning) was if I was capable of really make a game in a very very short amount if time.
Since the topic is minimalism I tried my best effort to do something with the basis of a game in like 2 or 3 hours that was the time I get to finish the game and upload it . Oh and I wanted to do it in javascript since I have time not working with it and I wanted to remember it.
What I learned? Focus. You see, I wanted to add new “things” to the game, but I refused to that idea and kept with the whole image I had at the start. And well the game get finished. I just tweak a pair of things but nothing more.
But I think this is NOT a good thing with games. Well is bad for the time vs money vs your project manager, But is good for our creativity to let ourselves loose in a ocean of ideas.
Besides all it was fun and strange at the same time. The theme was kind of different, because minimalism is an idea so broad and so open.
But well, luck to everyone. see you.
