I’m so ready for this MiniLD, being my first, I’m not sure when the best time to start is. If starting now is okay in the rules (1\/10\/14 2:00 pm US:EST) please let me know! Because I don’t know how much longer I can wait!<\/p>\n

I’m making this game from scratch so the tools are kinda slim:<\/p>\n

– Engine: Good ‘ol Java (Standard Library and an a few game making APIs I’ve created in the past, nothing special)<\/p>\n

– IDE: Eclipse, or possibly SublimeText, or Notepad++ if I’m feeling frisky.<\/p>\n

– Graphics: 2D, using Paint.NET<\/p>\n

– Sound: sfxr<\/p>\n

I’m gonna love making this game, I’ve got my idea all planned out, I just need a catchy name, and to put the gameplay mechanics into writing.<\/p>\n

Best of luck to all!<\/p>\n
