Third LD. Hoping to finish this time.

Language: C#

Libraries: Monogame, Personal Libs (Input, Particles, Rendering)

Tools: PyxelEdit, Tiled, SFXR

Target: Windows, OS X if I have time.

So at halftime, I have two enemies, all physics working and transitions between levels. Level design all day tomorrow!

I’m in again, I want to finish this time!

TiledMap Editor

Java/Slick2D

Hope!

This is my second ludum dare. Last time I didn’t finish because I chose a design that was far too ambitious. I also ran into issues trying to distro XNA builds to playtesters throughout the process. I ended up giving up on Sunday morning. This time I am choosing tools with a little more portability:

Language: Java/Slick/LWJGL

Graphics: Photoshop

Sound: SFXR

Ideas: Whiteboard

Fuel: Coffee and Espresso. Don’t make the mistake I did last time and try energy drinks. It caused me to crash hard both days!

This time, I will finish…

I see in the rules that all content must be generated within the contest timeline, but I am also seeing past projects and current posts stating that they have content that will be used for the contest? What is the official on this? and by content, I mean art and music.

This is my first Ludum Dare, and I am incredibly excited. I have the support of my wife to basically expend my weekend taking part in this awesome adventure. I have a ton of respect for those who have gone before me and I cannot wait to get started.

I will be using the following:

MonoDevelop

MonoGame (xplatform goodness)

Photoshop (Yes, legally obtained)

Anvil Studio (Open source VST for audio)

Full Throttle Berry, Coffee

Tumblr (I intend to try to live blog the whole thing)

Twitter (To shout out my live blog links)

BitBucket for source control and issue tracking (I doubt i’ll have time for issue tracking)

I’m in!
