LD32 was my first jam, before that, I had made only a few small games, all of which I hated. The game I made for LD32 was the first game I was anywhere close to pleased with.
\n If you’re anything like me, LD will be the best time to do some deving, since you’ll just procrastinate otherwise. It’s also good experience for what it would be like if game deving is what you want for a career, since you wake up, have breakfast, dev like crazy, have lunch, dev like crazy, have dinner, dev a little more, bed, repeat. It’s really really good, and you won’t be dissapointed you did it.
\n Your game won’t be anywhere close to what you originally imagined, and the code will be very sloppy and probably not at all flexible, but still, just do it. \":)\"","spam":"N"}],"epoch":1438696380,"likes":2,"metadata":{"p_key":"17069","p_author":"Marco Polo","p_authorkey":"0","p_urlkey":"52368","p_title":"Want to be in for LD33.","p_cat":"LD #33","p_event":"LD33","p_time":"1438696380","p_likes":"2","p_comments":"2","p_status":"UPD5","us_key":null,"us_name":null,"us_username":null,"event_start":"1440115200","event_key":"29","event_name":"LD33"},"text":"

I’m not quite sure whether or not I’m ready. I’ve developed one, simple game on my own before, which I think made me a little comfortable, especially since it took me an entire sleepless night to complete. I’m very new to the community but am very interested. Any suggestions?<\/p>\n

I use the following:<\/p>\n

GameMaker for development<\/p>\n

GIMP for graphics<\/p>\n

sfxr for sound effects<\/p>\n

Is there an easy program I can use for making music? I know how to play the ukulele, and might be interested in including some ukulele music into the game as well.<\/p>","time":"August 4th, 2015 8:53 am","title":"Want to be in for LD33."}
