The project I was working on was very dear to me. I don't want to release it half-formed, but I will try to finish it, just not for the contest. Perhaps it's better that I don't feed my sore delusions of grandeur and just create the game that will be most beneficial for the world to see. Even though IGMC is such a great opportunity to release your game, I'm going to have to wait to release it in my own time.

I desperately want to play the game I was making. I desperately want to do it justice. But at least the game won't be completed for IGMC, so I won't have to keep it a secret that it was me anymore. I was planning to release it under a pseudonym so there would be no bias on the judges, a few of whom I know. But now that that restriction has been lifted, I can go back to showing off the few screenshots I have of the undercooked game I almost made. That's where I'm most comfortable.

I do hope I will finish, though. Maybe soon. Maybe soon.

Actually, it's a pretty bad time to release, considering 700+ other games are also getting released around the same time.

Well, I guess, in a way you're swamped by other entries. But I think I've played more games made in the year/time space of IGMC entries than games made during any other year, funnily enough. So it's definitely a popular time to be playing games. Rest assured there's going to be many great games coming through with this event. Two of the popular commercially released games in the maker are made for the event. The current featured game on RMN, and 3 of them in the past year, have been IGMC entries.

So yeah, there's a lot of entries but that means there's a lot of attention paid to games during this period.

If I didn't have uni these past 2 weeks and had very little time at home in front of a PC, I would've finished this easy. It's a pity holidays don't last forever.

Well, it actually isn't a pity holidays aren't eternal, because that would be pretty boring probably.
