On the one hand I&#8217;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&#8217;ve got a few commitments over the weekend, mainly the Christmas ball. I have the excuse I was recently hospitalized and want my &#8220;rest&#8221; so that&#8217;ll free me up for quite a bit of time.<\/p>\n <p>In terms of tools and the such I&#8217;m going with two options depending on the theme. Most likely I&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;d probably be using javascript to some capacity ( I don&#8217;t really know js very well so I have no idea if I could make this happen).<\/p>\n <p>I really want to try and do something I haven&#8217;t done before for this Ludum Dare, with a technology I&#8217;m not too familiar with but that I can get results from quickly. I&#8217;m a python guy at heart so we&#8217;ll probably see that. My first devlog here will announce what tech I&#8217;ll be using and obviously my game ideas. I&#8217;m looking forward to it!<\/p>","time":"December 13th, 2013 7:17 am","title":"I\u2019m probably in."}
