This post is one from my vault of old posts. It does not reflect who I am now, and I'll interject with Foxtrot with some thoughts on it as a
retrospective. The quality of the main post is not up to my current standards, although I hope my interjections will help to keep you interested!
Velocity Glyph - 5 years and A Ludum Dare 37 post mortem
This weekend (and Monday), I participated in Ludum Dare 37.
5 years ago, I also participated in Ludum Dare, for the first time. A lot has changed in those 5 years, as it would. 5 years is a long time. I went from making games as a hobby, to actually managing a games studio, as well as working on them as a hobby. I get paid every day to make games and that’s incredible. For many people, it’s a dream. It was damn hard work getting here, and it’s even more difficult now than ever, of course I’m better prepared for that now. I’m happy with where I am, I’m lucky to be here, and I’m really excited for what the next 5 years brings.
This time, I created an arcade racer, kinda Wipeout/Re-Volt inspired, a miniature hover racing game. I’m pretty impressed with the result.
