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).<\/p>\n

Hardware:<\/p>\n

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

    Software:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Construct 2- Super fast to develop something, I also really want to focus on design etc (rather than technical things etc)<\/li>\n
    2. Garage Band – Never really used this before but I’m going to try to make my own music for once<\/li>\n
    3. Audacity – Nice for recording sfx and the like<\/li>\n
    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<\/li>\n
    5. Pixelmator – Mac drawing program, also never used this before…<\/li>\n
    6. Dropbox – Syncing files between the two computers I’ll be using<\/li>\n
    7. WinSCP – FTP program<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

      Other Things:<\/p>\n

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

        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 \ud83d\ude00<\/p>","time":"August 23rd, 2013 5:52 pm","title":"Pre LD Prep"}
