Taking the plunge!
April 4th, 2012 7:03 amSure, let’s do this, my first Ludum Dare (or game jam of any kind)! I’m a graduate games programmer, with very little to show for it. At least this’ll give me the motivation to work on a project, and actually get a finished game for my portfolio (which is looking rather bleak at the moment). I’ll be working towards the Jam and not the Compo, due to work schedules during the weekends.
Code: XNA using C#. I’ve done a little bit of work in XNA before (basic 3D tech demo), and I generally know how a game should be structured… but I’ve never actually made a completed game before. I’ll also be sticking with 2D, and probably a basic game design because I’m not really any good at that stuff.
IDE: VS2010
Graphics: Photoshop CS5
Sound: sfxr? I’ve never really made any sound stuff before, so that should be a laugh.
