Ahhh, another week has passed. You guys know the drill by now.

I've seen a lot of things happen in the past two weeks. Some people's busy lives have directly interfered with their progress. Some people have lost everything and adamantly started something new. And more people than I'd like to see have considered dropping out.

I have a few things to say in that regard. First of all, this event was intended for those who could afford to spend a lot of time perfecting something they loved. Unfortunately it seems people either don't have the time to spend, or they're not working on a project that appeals to them enough to motivate them.

Second, the deadline should be the least of your worries. I only set it because deadlines in themselves are a motivating factor. They're also the cause of a lot of stress. So while I'm not going to remove it, I do want to say that the deadline is dependent on what IndieBundle.org wants to do, and they seem pretty flexible.

The goal of this event is to finish and polish a game, not make the next one-hit-wonder. If you find that your current game isn't going to work out, try something less ambitious. If it helps, I'll be taking my own advice here.

Guys, if you're really eager to finish, but various things are obstructing that goal, please contact me personally so we can work together. No more dropouts.
