LD40, woo!!!

I'm feeling pretty refreshed after the Thanksgiving weekend -- hopefully the coming week will be relatively calm so that I can be prepared for LD both physically and mentally as well.

This'll be my 17th time participating in Ludum Dare. I'm joined by my faithful partner-in-crime @xellaya who will be handling all things art and animation, but we'll also have @littlecloudflower on board helping us with writing, dialogue, and scenario! We'll assuredly be making something that has a narrative involved since we'll have a team member dedicated to helping out with that, so look forward to that! @xellaya also has a spiffy new Cintiq that she'll be taking for a whirl this time around, which I'm sure will be really exciting as well.

As always, I’ll be using some starter code which you can see here.

Tools:

• Unity3D with Monodevelop as IDE, deploying to WebGL
• FL Studio for music and audio
• LabChirp and Freesound for any additional sfx needs
• Paint Tool SAI/Photoshop/Illustrator for art and animation (along with the spiffy new Cintiq!)
• GIMP for any additional image processing I need to do on my end
• Aseprite if we do any pixel art
• Tiled and Tiled2Unity if we end up needing tilemaps

My personal goals for LD40:

• Keep it simple!
• Leave enough time for music
• Don't kill myself...(I failed on this one last time)

TODO list before LD starts:

• Brainstorm about ideas and inspirations
• Vote on themes!
• Big grocery run to stock up on groceries and snacks.
• Set up dropbox folder
• Set up bitbucket repo and create Unity project

Good luck to everybody else participating this time!
