Yesterday, I was looking at the other dev logs. Some really high quality work you're doing guys. Really high quality.

Made me feel a bit down, actually.

So I stopped giving a damn; I'm not aiming to place well, or finish a game. At this point, I'm just aiming to …

So, I changed plans last week (as mentioned in my last blog), and started working on a platformer idea I had on paper, then took that and simplified it (to a point).

I've been working on it throughout the week (Though literally every single time I've sat down to work …
