+# CANCELED
+A brief post-mortem.
+	
+## What Went Wrong
+It's had been a minute since I attempted a proper game jam, and while I could tell I was much more
+*skilled* this time around, my *execution* was what caused this fumble. I've been programming mostly
+websites (server-side and client-side), applications, and tooling. *Games are a different,
+cross-disciplinary beast.*
+
+* Stick to the plan. The plan was visual metaphor to game ideas to game. I discarded all metaphor planning
+in favor of a novel UI, which has worked in the past but this time set me back.
+* Too much emphasis on doing something differently, rather than well. Yes, most of my initial ideas
+were also built around by other developers and teams. No, that doesn't mean we'd be making the same
+game. Build games that interest you, that you want to play, and fit your scope. Doesn't matter if
+it's *unique.* This game isn't being presented to a general audience (yet)
+* Core gameplay of mechanic was not considered enough before starting. Should have paper-tested it,
+would have likely found it more akin to Fruit Ninja than a Wario Ware game.
+* Too much aesthetic, too soon. Focusing on the smaller details (theming, sprites, UI) before ironing
+out the large ones. This is a great little morale boost, but it is too much commitment too early on.
+
+## What Went Right
+I don't think the initial approach was wrong, however I think I rushed into starting too soon. I initially
+just wrote down a bunch of visual metaphors for loops on paper and thought about each one in the context
+of a game. I had 8, with a nebulous mound of ideas using them. I went on to observe many other teams make
+games using some permutation of those same 8 metaphors.
+
+* Spend time really considering the theme. As much as you can.
+* Come up with many metaphors, not just one. It doesn't start with a game idea, necessarily, it starts with
+an analogy.
+* Come up with *game concepts* for each before proceeding. As many as you can, but don't spend too
+much time on dead ends. I did this, but I didn't write it down.
