My 3rd Ludum Dare compo
Hello fellow Ludum Dare developers. For this, my 3rd Ludum Dare, I plan to throw my familiarity and knowledge of C# and Silverlight out of the window!
Instead I will use a brand new tool and language, both of which I am completely unfamiliar with! Sounds like a recipe for certain disaster!
Tool: Corona
Language: Lua
Editor: Notepad++
Music: Maybe some freeware music.
Sound: Hopefully I’ll find some time to use SFXR.
Art: once again, the infamous programmer art!
Good luck everybody! I hope we get an interesting theme that we all like.

How are you going to get a lot of people to play your game if you use Corona? You will be limited to Android only, since iOS users won’t be able to download your app. It’s cool if you are doing it for yourself, I’m just curious if you realize this, since I find one of the most valuable parts of LD is getting feedback from people trying my game.

Hopefully you can fit in some practice with this new framework before the event begins. It’s not usually smart to try and learn a whole new language over the weekend and expect to finish anything good.
