I see that there are some game development contests coming up, the 3-Hour GDC, and Ludum Dare.
I'm looking to get a new project (or 2) complete before the holidays, so I'm probably gonna enter these contests and see what I can come up with. I've never done a very short term development contest yet, so this will be a learning experience for me. On the other hand, I'm more familiar with HGE, the game engine I plan to use, so hopefully I can get things up and running faster.
