Very first Ludum Dare. Been developing in Game Maker since 2005 (dabbled in C# and Java, but I just don’t have the attention span to use them for personal projects), LD #26 has me motivated to finish my first full game in 3+ years.

Using GM8, with everything hand-coded, sans a few core things (drawing, lists, etc).
May use the built-in 3D engine if the game ends up calling for some extra dimension.

Visuals: GM’s built-in sprite editor
Music: Reaper, with a wealth of various  VSTi’s and drum samples (I’m a musician most of the time)
SFX: BFXR, maybe some foley work in Reaper.

Here’s to making something cool (hopefully)!
