Planning to Join Mini-LD #20
I’m in for Mini-LD #20.
I’ll be using Python/Pygame, first of all. I plan to do at least 1 unfamiliar thing this weekend, but I haven’t decided what that will be.
My current thought is to make a game in a genre I haven’t used for a (completed) game before. I’ve also though about using techniques that I haven’t used before.
My strategy this time is to try to keep the thing playable as much as possible. Roll out an initial demo as quickly as possible and work to a playable version as quickly as possible when new features are implemented. That will hopefully keep me from stalling like I usually do.
I’m really eager for this. I’ve been chipping away at several large projects, and a small game should be a nice break from that.
I’m ready, and just as optimistic as I tend to be. I’m hoping this one works out okay…

Definitely a good plan. That is my exact strategy as well: quickly mock up something that “works” and then massage it over the weekend until I run out of time. This way there is always a finished product in my hands, even if it happens to be uber simplistic.
Good luck! You can do it!
Thanks for the encouragement!
I think this one might be my first finish…
Good luck to you, too!
