You know, with all the really sad and/or dull forfeiting posts I’ve done, I thought I’d make one a bit more… Fun.
It’s October here in Ludum Dare,
And all men toll away
For ’tis the time to make some dough
And stop sitting ’round all day.
They make their games with great delight
though sometimes things are rough
It’s what they do, ’cause through and through
Indie devs are tough.
So what becomes of Puzzlem00n;
that young chap from ’round the bend.
Simply put, why is it
that his work has come to end?
Sure, sure, we’ve seen it before,
he’s abandoned many a project.
From MiniLD’s to a warmup that time,
he’s the attention span of an insect.
But for the October Challenge,
Oh, that mightiest challenge,
You’d think he’d have more of a chance.
And yet, no code has been written, he’s only been sittin’,
Without hope of getting financed.
He had a partner to work with,
A great one at that,
Who worked very hard with the writing,
The game’s concept was great, set in a far future date,
But progress has been unexciting.
Of course, perhaps he’s not quite at fault.
He’s become a freshman in High School
and with all the homework and teachers and grades…
Bro, it’s just really not cool.
At first, ol’ Puzz trudged on
His teammate Wonckay at his side
Believing they could get it done
If only they really tried.
But the GDD took weeks to craft
And in truth, it still ain’t finished
There was too much outside work to do
And hope had soon diminished.
In truth, our heroes could probably make their goal
if they sacrificed their grades
But eventually, M00n realized
How much all would cascade.
So, he fired his friend, and let it all end,
Cancelling the game,
For the greater good and all that jazz,
Himself taking all the blame.
Perhaps Puzzlem00n hasn’t reached
The goal he made this month,
But he’ll never be a no one
Even without triumph.
He’s made three games,
He’s learned great names,
But most importantly of all
He’s made some pretty neat friends here.
And that’s AWESOME!!!
I love it and can definantly see where your coming from, see you at #25
This is nice!
Please, Puzzlem00n, don’t be so sad!
You’ll make a lot of games ahead.
I know you aren’t being bad,
In fact you’re a talented lad.
Just make a break, cool down your head,
Then lead the way you used to led.
I thank you, sir, for your kind words,
Depsite your being Mad.
I know I have a future,
And there’s no reason to be sad.
In the end, I’ll always hold some regret,
It’s just that kind of bummer.
Oh why, oh why, I ask myself,
Can’t the Challenge be in summer?
And yet, I know your words hold true,
I just need to take that break.
And in time, in time, I’ll no longer rhyme,
But make those games I’m meant to make.
(Poems are really fun, by the way.
)
It occurs to me I wrote “intention span…” I have got to stop doing that all the time. (Which I do.)
Hello Puzzlem00n, I know you month has been upside down
But keeping yourelf with a bad attitude will give you nothing but a frown!
But with a big bright attitude, you will always win!
Look at me, I accomplished nothing, but I learned 2 new languages, Not located from a bin!
So do me a favor, If you can still read this.
ctrl+C Go make a new post, and go to HTML (One of the 2 languages I learned, the other being Javascript) And control V it down, So this message won’t be missed.
Now hit back to visual, and read with joy, this ludum dare, was big for both of us, OH BOY!
Have a great ludum dare for you Puzzlem00n, do not be depressed, you’ve accomplished somthing, and so have I.
Darn it, didnt process the HTML.
Luckly I ctrl+c onto my clipboard!
Just go to my post.
It should work from there.
I’m not sure exactly what you’re trying to get me to do, but I know that comments sort of hide HTML code. Nonetheless, thanks for the kind words, it’s nice to see you encouraging me for a change.
And congrats on learning a new language!
2 new language!
