Hi, I’m FlashDave this is my first Ludum Dare, I wanted to wanted to say hi. A little intro, I’m 29 and a full time Flash AS3 programmer from the UK. I have used unity and javascript.

My plan of attack for this weekend is

1) getting ready (before announcement)
– Organize Bookmarks for relevant sites and tools
– review short list : I jot down some wild ideas so when the announcement comes I have something to fall back on.
– Moodboard : I collect some images that I think will be useful to kick start my creative juices
– Get my tools ready, installed and play around with those I’m unfamiliar with.
– Streaming, I have to decide if I want to stream or timelapse. I may jump between the two depending on lag.

2) Planning
– Environment, Unity or Flash
– Sketching
– Find the fun
– Identify that attention grab factor
– Plan my Time

3) Design
– Characters, sketch main guys
– Level, sketch the environment theme
– Game mechanics, prototype it
– Sounds, Grab something basic, if I run out of time it can stay.

4) implementation
– Prototype mechanics
– get assests in
– Make UI reusable if I decide to scrap stuff the UI can be reused (i.e mute)
– get sound early on

So that’s basically my plan and its pretty straight forward.
