I'm in for my 8th consecutive Ludum Dare!

I think I'm slowly getting a better grasp of what makes a game good and I intend to spend more time on design this LD to actually make something good. I normally go completely overkill on content that nobody plays through, which is a huge waste of time. My goal is to finally make it to the top 100 overall.

I'll also almost definitely be making a platformer for this Ludum Dare as it's the genre I specialize in. I'm working on an MMO platformer right now, which is the closest I've got to recent platformer artwork: pic_6.png

What I'm using:

  • Python and Pygame
  • Bosca Ceoil (maybe LMMS if I get enough time to practice)
  • SFXR (maybe BFXR)
  • MS Paint / Px Editor (my own pixel art animation tool)
  • A really bad laptop. (1.7GHz dual core, 4GB RAM, integrated GPU) Hopefully I'll have built a desktop by LD 43.

This is my 11th 48 hour game jam. I haven't missed a single one for the two events I participate in. ^-^ (I thought it was my 7th LD and my last one was my 6th, but I had forgotten one of my entries)

GL all!
