Lots of new stuff has happened since that time and I hope I can include all of that jazz in this post.<\/p>\n <p>In the process of making my LD25 game I thought I had mastered C# XNA sufficiently to make a more graphical game, as my LD24 game had been decent in my eyes but the art was kind of lacking. I thought I could implement realtime raycasted shadows and a nice floaty-physics system to boot. However doing this in one weekend was still challenging and I felt the urge to just copy paste code from my other projects growing stronger.\u00a0Nearing the end of LD25 I figured is was not the graphical\u00a0fidelity, but rather the color scheme I had to improve.<\/p>\n <p>So for the upcoming LD I will most likely, though I cannot say with full confidence:<\/p>\n <p>Visual Studio 2010<\/p>\n <p>C# OpenTK<\/p>\n <p>milkytracker and FL studio for audio<\/p>\n <p>Notepad++<\/p>\n <p>lots of IRC and Coffee.<\/p>\n <p>Other things that have been happening, my setup has changed to a full tower thanks to my awesome brother finding it for 20 euros<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/2013-04-03-20.05.00.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-223423\" alt=\"2013-04-03 20.05.00\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/2013-04-03-20.05.00-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/2013-04-03-20.05.00-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/2013-04-03-20.05.00-550x412.jpg 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/2013-04-03-20.05.00.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>This is a Cooler Master HAF X and I am totally loving this thing ( apart from the fact that it weighs 31 pounds while being empty.
