Despite being a pretty active participant in Ludum Dare, I've never pursued the October Challenge yet.
Working on the last 10% of a game (the polish) is the hardest part of the development process; not only is it a lot of work, but at that point you're much more likely to be burned out from working on said game.
Despite this, I'm currently working on a game with great potential that I hope will end up somewhere :)

- codevandal 14y agoI participated in the first October Challenge two years ago. The timing was perfect for me since I had a project that was nearly done, but I was getting burned out, like you said, on that last 10%. The addition of a deadline helped me focus and get through it.
