jSfxr
Anyone notice this yet ? jSfxr: a Java applet by eigenbom, inspired by Dr Petter’s sfxr.
This could turn out to be a handy tool for those last minute sound effects (although for me, sfxr does just nicely) .. except it seems to lack a save-to-WAV function …
Game Jolt competition
Thought a few of you might be interested in another time limit compo. To keep it relatively short: GameJolt.com just announced a competition to push their ad revenue sharing program, which entered beta today. The contest lasts a week and the theme is “Shocking!”. Three winners will get accepted into the beta, and one will recieve a steam game. More information can be found on their forum.
Some of you may also have seen this via the gamecompo mailing list, if you’re signed up for that. I hope to enter the competition myself, though I’m a bit pressed for time.
LD48 2010 Swimsuit Calendar!!
Hey folks, Phil here .. So we’ve talked about this project for years, but I think it’s time we took action. Enough of us have been getting shape that I think it’s time we showed the world that game developers can be totally ripped.

Here’s the deal, I’ll get the calendar on cafepress or something, and all proceeds will go towards supporting the website. If we make lots and lots of money, we’ll come up with something way cool to do with it. Like fly everyone out to some tropical island and have a spectacular LD party for 48 hours sometime.
So the idea is to get your photo rounded up by October, so we can have the calendar available for sale in November. Photos should include yourself in a swimsuit as well as game related stuff in the background or something of equal or greater awesomeness. We may include some baseball card-like stats of “wins in LDs” or other such stuff somewhere. And maybe a brief bio. We’ll want these to be 300 dpi or some kind of hi-res image. When we get closer to the deadline we’ll work out more details on exactly how we want the pages laid out.
In the case that we have more than 12 people submit a page for the calendar, the entrants who have competed in more LDs will get preference.
Fine print: make it a current picture. No using a picture from 4 years previous when you were in shape. The idea is to get yourself into shape NOW so that you’re ready for the calendar!!
