Now, I’m not a fan of infringement or vulgarity, but I have decided to take the “One afternoon challenge.” That said, I am hoping to have a new game up by the end of the day, just to push my limits, to see what I can do.</p>http://mostlymatthewgames.tumblr.com/post/13160077063http://mostlymatthewgames.tumblr.com/post/13160077063Tue, 22 Nov 2011 11:07:37 -0500GameDesignSneak Preview<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lv11i9j9ii1r6mgo6o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Woohoo!
