I decided to try Ludum Dare.  Normally I wouldn’t because my son has soccer tournaments and this weekend is National Cup.  He couldn’t play because of an MCL injury so instead of sitting around watching hockey, I’m creating a game, taking my daughter to Michaels and the library, going for walks with my son for physical therapy, cooking lunch and dinner AND finally coding and watching hockey (Go Kings!).

At first I was thinking is not sure a goos idea to participate. I only have about 23 hours left.  I’m starting very late.  I have two ideas with minimal sketches and no code written yet.  Then I thought, hell, it’s like being back a Disney making last minute games for the launch for Disney Daily Blast &  Disney XD where I only had hours from concept to live.

What I’ll be using

• TypeScript
• Phaser 2.0.2
• Visual Studio Web
• Photoshop
• Coffee to keep me awake

Starting right now I’ll be posting updates to my @sputnikgames on twitter.  I’ll also be posting a link to the game as it progresses.

Let’s see what happens…
