I grow up as a kid in wishing to have sufficient experience to join Ludum Dare one day. 15 years later, with kids, I now wish I have free time to join Ludum Dare. Not to mention experience.
- bobbiechen 3y agoVery convincing to get me to try it! Also reminds me of the "Dear Abby" column story: > Dear Abby: I am a 36-year-old college dropout whose lifelong ambition was to be a physician. I have a very good job selling pharmaceutical supplies, but my heart is still in the practice of medicine. I do volunteer work at the local hospital and people tell me I would have been a wonderful doctor. > > If I go back to college and get my degree, then go to medical school, do my internship and finally get into the practice of medicine – it will take me seven years. But in seven years, I will be 43 years old! What do you think? – Unfulfilled in Philly > > Dear Unfulfilled: And how old will you be in seven years if you don’t go back to college? (though of course, one weekend is much easier of a commitment to make here)
- huydotnet 3y agoI'm joining!
- bobbiechen 3y agoFollowing up: your comment inspired me to try Ludum Dare. I didn't finish a game or even the core mechanics this weekend, but I learned a lot. The whole process is now infinitely more approachable than it was just a few days ago, and maybe I'll come back and finish one someday. Thank you!
