# Stupid Sacrifice {% embed url="" %} > Cultists and Aztecs are not the only ones sacrificing their (and other's) lifes. Heroes and renegades in movies and show do it all the time. > > **From time to time though. That whole sacrifice thing? Not required.** ## Play {% embed url="" %} ## Experience A simple interactive five-minute story with a few options to click on. Created over a weekend for [Ludum Dare 43](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/43/) with the theme "Sacrifices must be made". ## Behind the Scenes In 2018 after months of preparations, I finally left my full-time job to explore my lifelong dream of making videogames. I had some experience, but definitely not enough to make a game after game. After months on [smaller projects](/maybegreat/videogames/concepts-and-prototypes/mgnum-1.md), that while [interesting ](/maybegreat/videogames/charlie-day-experience.md)were at best months away from being playable and were yielding nothing. I needed a personal win and finish something. Stupid Sacrifice came about through my passion for movies and the idiocy of some of the plots. Maybe idiocy to some, romanticism to others Outside the story I settled for something I knew I can deliver - minimum intricate gameplay, make what you can approach. After recovering from the hit to my ego I rolled with it and ended up happier than ever that I had made something that's playable from start to finish, however basic it is. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
