in Announce Your Game!
So impulsively I decided to enter IndieSpeedRun, a 48 hour game jam.

With the help of artist Robin Nevison and composer William Robinson I made a game about motivation called 'Keep Going'. Probably a lot of peeps around here can relate to the theme!

    Cheers :) Will be cool if the judges give any feedback for it. The judges are devs like Ron Gilbert (Monkey Island), Kellee Santiago (Journey) and others so that would be interesting...!

    Not yet no. I'm going to spend some more time on it so it's release-ready. Will make a vid at that point.

    But for the moment you can play the made-without-sleep-version ;) which is on the indiespeedrun page: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/content/indie-speed-run/?game=198

    As you might expect from a game jam there are a fair few bugs. But you'll still get the feel of the game.

    Just played mate, quite addictive actually! I was flying high with lots of ideas on day 19 and then got trapped and had to run through lots of the bad things and lost all my ideas! Was well annoyed ha. Is is a design choice not to offer a second or so of grace period after taking a hit? I felt like there should be one, even if only very short!

    Not a design choice, more of a lack-of-sleep-and-time side effect :) But yeah, good point, I can think of having the usual 'invincible for a few seconds after being hit' effect in the final version.

    Sounds like you got to the sky section? That's the best bit. Hopefully the final game will have more stuff like that. Doesn't last long in this version though. The bugs soon kick in after that!

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Haha :) Well to be fair I should have linked to where the game is hosted on the picture.

    I didn't do the art (I never do in any of my games). I'm sure Robyn, the artist on Keep Going, would be happy to answer if you ask her.
