I feel like I am going to go down to the wire on my submission

I was wondering if anyone else is not really close to finishing their games. I am making up my own system for my game and it is difficult.

If you're stuck making your own system but you have a solid idea for a game I always recommend trying a hack! It's a great way to take the pressure off yourself for the design aspects and focus on writing the game you want to make. If not a hack, deciding on what the most essential experience is/the core gameplay is and then looking around at other systems you like for inspiration is a good bet.

I here what you are saying but I am also pretty far into creating the system. I am for the most part avoiding feature cheap. The part of my game that I really love is a secret objective system. I may just be to close to it, but I just don't know any games that I could hack that system into well enough. So I decided to build the game system that would support that idea. 

There are a few features that I like but are on the back burner for if I have time.

Going down to the wire is how lots of creative work happens ;) I'm close to finishing my game, but it's likely going to be tight on the deadline as well. Try to come up with a timeline to follow and milestones to hit between now and the deadline. That might help get you to the finish line. Your can make it!
