So, I recently uploaded a game to Newgrounds and it was not recieved well. 

The game was intended to be a tongue in cheek shooter with a hash/stoner theme, but what it ended up being was a reminder to me just how important good game design is. 

I can't say that I ever thought it was designed poorly, in fact I think it was designed OK, but I think the issue was that I never got beyond OK. I am not much of a programmer and in attempting to do something that was a little bit more like a conventional game, I created a challenge for myself that I was not able to meet. 

Still, this will not deter me. I am coming back at the end of this month with a new game, and this time I am really hunkering down on the design... so, look forward to that.
