Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Last night Ludum Dare 25 started. I had an idea about 16 hours ago, that I thought would be edgy, controversial and thought provoking, that now just seems tacky, heavy handed and frankly disrespectful.

The game was going to deal with the way that the media sensationalises the news surrounded recent tragedies. The idea stemmed from this video and the game would paint the media (particularly 24 hour news outlets) as the villains. I however, quickly realised that having the player gun down dozens of civilians might just be a little too untasteful at the moment. Plus, no one really enjoys being preached at. It's a good job I didn't get very far.

Good luck to everyone still trucking away. Maybe I'll try something else in a few hours.
