Woohoo! My lovely lady has agreed to look after our 1 year old son for the majority of the weekend so I can dare to ludum! (I’m otherwise a stay-home Dad so a whole weekend to geek is luxury!)

I’ll be using Unity3D and my personal sub-challenge will be to use my Unity Asset Store assets that I’ve previously bought but never used — many purchased in the Daily Deals (I’m a bit of an addict). A quick count suggested I have 82 assets (including everything from textures to voxel engine, Arduino integration to audio response!) Another rough count suggests I’ve used about 20 of these to any extent! I’ll probably set up a timelapse (if my aging laptop will handle it) so you might get brief intros while I cram in quite a bit of learning en route!

I’ll be attempting to compete in the 48 hour competition (so no textures, etc nor collaborators) but, if time gets short or inspiration so drives, I’ll fall back to the Jam. I’ll post which ones I’m using / I’ve used later / at the end.

Haven’t decided whether to target mobile or desktop nor whether to assume throw-away or hope for future funds. Guess we’ll see how it goes and what people think.

Right 1 hour until theme announcement (at 2am BST) so I’ll look forward to finding out in the morning (or, more likely, when awoken by a crying toddler around 4am)!

Good luck everyone — happy jamming!

May the bugs be ever in your favour!
