Ok, so I swear this was a really nice post with my development roadmap on it. Then firefox crashed and ate my post. Oh well. More to come on the development map tomorrow.

So, after playing Spelunky for about a year I finally beat it. And when I say "beat" I mean "did the bare minimum to actually get to the end of the game". After a long period of inactivity, I spent lots of memorial day weekend grinding through the horrible ice levels. I played these 4 levels over and over until I had enough money to pay off the shortcut guy. Then I focused on the final four levels. (Basic strategy: get scepter, get to the end as fast as possible, SMB3 your way through the last boss)

Now I can visit the spelunky wiki and really relax and enjoy the game. I think there are a lot of secrets that I have yet to uncover.

More on what this means for AarrrRL in the next post.
