It’s not for sure, being at University studying an intensive course can do these things to you. On the one hand I’m a drama school student and I like to do a lot of socializing (part of show biz I guess!), on the other hand I really like ludum dare. I’ve got a few commitments over the weekend, mainly the Christmas ball. I have the excuse I was recently hospitalized and want my “rest” so that’ll free me up for quite a bit of time.

In terms of tools and the such I’m going with two options depending on the theme. Most likely I’ll be using Python 2.7, Pygame 1.9.1 and Adobe Photoshop. However, I really fancy the idea of learning to program IF using something like Inform or Twine. I haven’t played a lot of IF, so I have no idea what makes a good IF game so this might not pan out. If the right theme comes out there is a really slim chance that I might make something based off the mechanics of candybox and the like, in which case I’d probably be using javascript to some capacity ( I don’t really know js very well so I have no idea if I could make this happen).

I really want to try and do something I haven’t done before for this Ludum Dare, with a technology I’m not too familiar with but that I can get results from quickly. I’m a python guy at heart so we’ll probably see that. My first devlog here will announce what tech I’ll be using and obviously my game ideas. I’m looking forward to it!
