Hello All,<\/p>\n
This will be my first foray into the Ludum Dare competition.<\/p>\n
I have been developing software as a professional for about 3 years now. I graduated with a Computer Science degree back in 2010. I’m also a hobbyist musician (https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/hyperbox<\/a>).<\/p>\n Video games are one of my main inspirations for getting involved with software development. I’ve had a few game projects in the past that never saw fruition, particularly an XNA game and then one for a system called Sifteo. After taking a break for a year, I’m looking at this competition as a great way to get the gears turning again, and to exercise some of the research I’ve been doing on game engines for the past 6 months.<\/p>\n My weakest skill relating to video games is definitely graphic art, but I do have an eye for aesthetics, so I’m hoping I can get crafty enough to compensate for that shortcoming.<\/p>\n For this competition, I will be using the following:<\/p>\n Platform: HTML5 Canvas<\/p>\n IDE: Netbeans<\/p>\n Libraries: Custom engine built upon EaselJS and probably more.<\/p>\n Sound: Reason<\/p>\n Graphics: Pixen<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Playing the entries for past competitions has become a little hobby of mine, so I’m delighted to be a part of it this time around. Looking forward to checking out the inevitably awesome submissions for LD27!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ~Brian<\/p>","time":"August 13th, 2013 5:01 pm","title":"Getting Started"}
