A wild developer appears!
Seriously I have wanted to do one of these Ludum Dare things for SO LONG it’s ridiculous. I just miss every single one of them.
Will be my first attempt at a competition like this but I’ve been failing at game development for years so I think I’m pretty well prepared.
I’ll probably be hacking it out in Python. Likely to use pygame or pyglet depending on what I decide to make, but I might also be tempted to use libtcod because I’ve been experimenting with it a lot lately. All depends on what works best with the theme I suppose ^^. I wish I were cool enough to do something all flash or ajaxy or whatever, but alas I know nothing of AS or JavaScript.
Anyways, I’m pretty excited and I might have the whole weekend wide open so we’ll see what happens. With any luck I will finish and release a game for the first time because of this ^^.

that libcotd thing looks sweet! thanks for posting about it.
I might be tempted to try and make a rougelike… but I doubt it.
Yeah, I’ve been having a ton of fun with it. You can pretty much go from zero to roguelike in a few hours. There’s even a tutorial on roguebasin that goes through the steps to make a (mostly) complete roguelike in Python. http://roguebasin.roguelikedevelopment.org/index.php?title=Complete_Roguelike_Tutorial,_using_python%2Blibtcod
