At last, time to reflect on WoA IV.
2 weeks have gone by since completion of the project, and I was on Holidays.
For the most part, I didn't give much thought to WoA except on a few occasions where I browsed gamedev wondering where voting was at.
This morning, I received a note from Slicer which ind…
I've taken the time to reflect on the competition now and decided to do a short pre-post-mortem (as I do intend on revisiting after seeing comments from the judges).
Why did I join?
Bluntly put, I wasn't supposed to, but at the last minute, my schedule opened up for that very week. I'm an avid fan o…

We're running to the finish line here, and there's still so much to do...
I've managed to put together a version for anyone generous enough to give it a spin!

Known issues:
- Always run a 16x9 resolution for this build.

With Day 3 being entirely wasted (power shortage and just general hell on earth scenario), I came in Day 4 strong, knowing everything I wouldn't do would get axed from the final game build.
On Day 2 I had set myself a list of things I wanted addressed for Day 3, and all of them basically rolled ove…
Not much to say on Day 3...
A small tornado hit our area, 10 of my neighbors had large trees uprooted or broken in half... My area was unreachable by conventional transportation for the entire evening/night and power was out 10 minutes after I sat to get started and only came back in the early morni…

[color=rgb(40,40,40)]As I'm about to get started working on the game for Day 3, I look back at Day 2. This journal entry is as much a means to communicate with fellow developers as it is an attempt at organizing my though…
Full disclosure here: I wasn't going to participate this year...
Timing was horrible for me, both professionally and personally.
As a matter of fact, I was approached to take jury duty this time around, and even declined doing so based off my expectations of where I'd be by the time of the competitio…
