I guess one cool aspect of LD is that you can try stuff you haven&#8217;t tried before while game developing;<\/p>\n <p>I decided to leave the C++ DirectX 9 2D platformers and go blind with the only direction\u00a0I have right now in mind is using Blender Game Engine. I learned a bit today, and I&#8217;m gonna learn some more until the comp begins which gives me about a week to prepare myself. I <strong>NEVER<\/strong> used it before so this is gonna be lots of fun and surely different than before. In case things go horribly wrong I might quit to Java and LWJGL which still isn&#8217;t my most comfortable zone, but still I wanna do something new. I might even try to make some web-based game using JS if things go REALLY BAD.<\/p>\n <p>In the most saddening case in which I cannot finish anything &#8211; \u00a0here&#8217;s my last resort &#8211; the safe old most basic and simple 2D system for C++ and DX9:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/g--o\/LudumDareBase\" target=\"_blank\">&gt;Github Link&lt;<\/a><\/p>\n <p>and.. that&#8217;s about it. <strong>Hope you&#8217;ll also DARE (see what I did DARE?) yourselves to do LD in a tool you&#8217;ve never used before during the compo or even at all!<\/strong><\/p>\n <p>As for graphics &#8211; as always I&#8217;m gonna use GIMP, Photoshop maybe and <a href=\"https:\/\/pixlr.com\/\">pixlr<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n <p>As for sound &#8211; as always gonna make original sounds. Use Yamaha keyboard or maybe I&#8217;ll try using my Electric guitar. I might also try my luck with software-based synths and 8 bit music. We&#8217;ll see \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n <p>I&#8217;m 99% percent sure I&#8217;m in. unless something&#8217;ll pop up &#8211; I think I&#8217;m gonna go for it.<\/p>\n <p>Good Luck, and as always &#8211; Happy Ludum Dare!<\/p>","time":"August 14th, 2015 3:49 pm","title":"I think I\u2019m in"}
