I’m new and ready and in.

Hi, I’m Ryan. I basically just started with game dev after the GameMaker Humble Bundle. My knowledge is limited and mainly comes from the Tom Francis tutorial, and I’ve only made one prototype. I’m all in. I’m excited to do the compo and make myself work. 😀

I’ll also be livestreaming the entire time(twitch.tv/rys0n) as an extra way to keep myself on-course, and I was wondering what to put down as the “game”, because the livestream tracker on the front page of LudemDare.com SAYS to use “Ludem Dare”, but most of the people on there are in the Game Development category. I’m assuming it’s a combination, prioritizing “Ludem Dare”?

I’ll also be tweeting screenshots and gifs at twitter.com/Rys0nburger. AND I’ll probably be in the IRC quite a bit to stay sane. Other than that, that’s pretty much me. Super excited to make a game

During the Ludum Dare competition, many people (as far as I know) use the Ludum Dare as a game. If you have limited knowledge, I strongly urge you (from my own experience) to start with a simple idea, and don’t go too complicated! Just focus on finishing a game, good luck!
