Newb Alert!
Hello Ludum Darers!!
This will be my first LD and I am doing the jam with a friend of mine. We’ve been talking about game/story ideas for (literally) years now, and these ideas have developed and grown substantially; but, no game has yet been created. Enter Ludum Dare. I am super grateful to the creator/s (Geoff Howland) of this event, as it is super insightful to impose a deadline to motivate creative procrastinators.
Hopefully, if nothing else, I will learn a great deal from this process. I actually already have, as we did the warmup yesterday, which was super fun!! I am very much a novice programmer (really more of a designer/scripter), so I am using Twine, which aside from being an excellent planning tool, is also super easy to code! 
Tools: Twine
Music: My electric drum kit, an H4n Zoom recorder, misc. instruments lying about, Audacity
Graphics: Gimp
Good luck to everyone!!
