Well, the Experiemental Gameplay theme for september was Failure, and well, it was for me. I wasn’t able to come up with a game.
So “Bare Minimum” is over and there were some amazing submissions, my favorite one is definitely Canabalt. Be Sure to check them all out over at Experimental Game Play.
And for the next theme is Failure! Turn on your creativity machines and get in Indie Mode 
I sure have an idea already for a game. 
Ok, so I wasn’t able to come up with type of game. Didn’t knew what I could do. The thing is I’ve only done puzzles so far, and never did platformers or action games. So its kinda hard to start a new style without knowing previously how things work.
I have 4 hours before the theme is released, and what do I do? I go to bed! Without knowing what theme is on!! Without even sleeping on the subject!! And Why? Because where I am, the 4 hours left would mean stay up until 3am! And I’m tired, so… I’ll ruin some 7 hours of the 48..
So, for all of you who wants to participate. go to http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/

I am making myself a new tileset. In photoshop, and I’m pretty much happy with the end result. I’ll have to make a way to use them in the coding part later…
Note: I’m still trying some game ideas…
Ahahaharrrrr…. I am a Peerate… Arrrrrg…. Arrrrg…. hehehehe… Yep, you guessed it. I must kick down pirate, in a new way. First time ever I’ll be making this kind of games… ( the one I’m thinking and that I won’t say.. ahha ).. I’m going to have tons of work. Oh and for those who might not know. SDLTutorials is having a competition. Go check it out
Ok, I’m still thinking… of a game… but its hard.. what type of game, what type of graphics. so far I’ve only made puzzles… so… hard.. i guess.
I narrowed down the axioms to these, that I might actually make a game from.
No good deed goes unpunished.
You might win, or do something good, you still die at the end… lol… or something in that genre.
Quitters never win; winners never quit
Easy one. If you quit, you’ll never win so play my game ’til the end.
In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
If I have something more than you. I win. I’m better than you. Might be money, anything else. No matter how small the difference is.
A burnt child dreads the fire
Basically, this is just a normal game. If you’re smart enough to not make the same mistake ( lose ) twice than the axiom applies… xD else, you don’t anticipate fearfully the fire… xD
Ok, so here are the axioms I can chose to make the GJ game. I googled some
A picture tells a story just as well as a large amount of descriptive text.
Different people have different ideas about what is beautiful.
Success obtained through dumb luck
if it looks like something is wrong, something probably is wrong
A little wit, among foolish people, will pass a man for a great genius
A person who has suffered from doing something has learned to avoid doing it again
Now for game ideas… still zero…
Ok, so to sum up things.
1 – GameJolt August Competition. Axiom Theme. Probably C++/SFML. End of the month
2 – SDL Tutorials Contest. Side Scrolling Shooter. C++/SDL. 1st September
3 – EGP. Bare Minimum. C++/SFML. End of the month.
4 – Ludum Dare 48H Game Compo. C++/SFML. August 28th-30th weekend
This is going to be great! I hope I can finish at least one. lol
