Above is my work space for Ludum Dare #27, besides cleaning my desk/room a bunch I made sure that I wouldn’t have any additional setup to do during the competition (so everything is plugged in and ready to go).

Hardware:

1. Black Dell PC – Using this for development (using stencyl for its ease)
2. Macbook Pro – Using for music production (which ive never done before…), sfx capture and is hooked up too…
3. Wacom Bamboo tablet – Any non pixel art (I prefer to do that via a mouse)
4. Blue Microphone
5. Wireless mouse
6. External monitor
7. Headphones
8. Smartphone – For blog update pictures etc

Software:

1. Construct 2- Super fast to develop something, I also really want to focus on design etc (rather than technical things etc)
2. Garage Band – Never really used this before but I’m going to try to make my own music for once
3. Audacity – Nice for recording sfx and the like
4. Pickle – Haven’t really used this for pixel art but i’ll try it out if that’s the route I want to go in
5. Pixelmator – Mac drawing program, also never used this before…
6. Dropbox – Syncing files between the two computers I’ll be using
7. WinSCP – FTP program

Other Things:

1. Food – Bought a bunch of easy to make food for the next two days
2. Drinks – Bought caffeinated drinks (coffee + other junk) to keep me awakish
3. Beer – Because why the hell not
4. Notepads – I love doodling out ideas so I have a bunch on hand at all times

All in all I’m pretty happy with the setup I have right now, it’ll be nice to not have to set anything up throughout the whole process. I will most likely buy a taller/larger side table and try to keep this setup from now on tbh 😀
