Well, here's the situation: I spent a lot of time planning, right up through today (day 14), and ultimately I did not do a lot of actual game-making. I couldn't decide whether I should just give up on meeting the deadline, work on my game more, and upload something decent in a few days, or whether I should upload something for the deadline even though it'd be the most minimal thing that could possibly qualify as a "game." I chose the second option, which I'm not at all sure was the better choice.
Tomorrow I think I'm going to write about my experiences with the game jam, what I learned, etc., but right now I just want to thank everyone who encouraged me. I feel like I let you down, and I sincerely apologize for that; someday, when I make these ideas into an actual game, I hope I can make up for it.
