This will be my 13th time participating in Ludum Dare on my 5th year of participating in the Compo.

I've decided to do away with the concept of picking my tools, platform, frameworks, and engines ahead of time to explicitly leave all options on the table, including doing a board game :P.

In the past I have mostly used C# with MonoGame in Visual Studio. Paint.Net, GIMP, and paint for graphics. Bosca Ceoil, SFXR, and Audacity for audio. There is a good chance I will go down this route again, but who knows?

I have a hodgepodge of engine/framework code in my GiThub account (https://github.com/srakowski). In compliance with the rules feel free to use anything you might find of interest.

I am fairly excited about the new start time! I am interested to see how it affect what I am able to do. Usually Friday night ends up a throw away as I become too tired too quickly. This time shift may make this night more useful. I am also worried that it removes 3 hours from the end, the time everything usually comes together (if it is going to). It is also nice that I don't need to rush through submission hour to catch The Walking Dead!

I wish everyone good luck and a happy jam. Cheers!
