Soon, it is time again, time for another weekend filled with lack of sleep, lots of pop, one or two beers and a wall of code that doesn’t make any sense at all. Sadly, it might be the last time for me to do this in a long while because reasons.<\/p>\n

Tools<\/strong>
\n The tools I will be using is the same as during my previous Ludum Dare entries.
\n Code<\/strong>
\n      Java, Eclipse<\/p>\n

Graphics<\/strong>
\n      Game Maker Sprite Editor<\/p>\n

Audio<\/strong>
\n      FL Studio, Audacity<\/p>\n

Advice I learned from last time<\/strong>
\n Todo list. Goddess in heaven, a Todo list is so good! During my previous LD entries I only used a huge scribble file with heavenly many random notes. It was a mess. Most features and functions in my games were mostly impulsively added. But last time I had a Todo list and it saved me many hours. I used two categories in it: CORE and FEATURES. The CORE list was stuff I absolutely needed for the game to even work and FEATURES was things that I should have, things that would make the game but can be left out. <\/p>\n

Streaming<\/strong>
\n Like every other Ludum Dare event I have participated in, I am going to stream as much as possible on this livestream page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anywho. See you guys at the start line in two weeks!<\/p>","time":"August 12th, 2013 4:23 am","title":"Joining LD, probably for the last time in a while"}
