I’m in, but I’m completely terrified that I will lack the motivation to follow through to the end and create something I can be proud of. \u00a0I was relatively happy with my first two ludum dare entries I made back in 2011 for LD22 and LD23. \u00a0I planned on participating in each LD from then on, but was either “too busy”, “too lazy”, or gave up on the rest until LD27, in which\u00a0I created something I’m embarrassed to show to anyone. \u00a0The issue there was that I started and abandoned several ideas and even engines, up until I finally settled on something on the last day. \u00a0I also was basically completely learning the engines I was trying to use during the competition.<\/p>\n

So now, I guess a year later, I’m planning on trying at LD30. \u00a0So, any tips on staying motivated? At any rate, here are the tools I’m planning on using. \u00a0Also, I’m looking for suggestions for better recording software for live music. \u00a0I’m sick of dealing with Audacity’s quirks. \u00a0I’ve heard “Wavosaur” could be pretty good, but any other suggestions?<\/p>\n
