Ok, sorry for the terriblen joke with Frédéric, but anyway…

I’m in. Totally in for LD 26. No matter what happens. I just hope I’ll be prepared…

I’ll probably compete in the jam version.

Maybe one or two friends will join me in a team (programmer and artist), but probably not, so I’ll be on my own.

A little of my “backstory” :

I’m a young (less than 15 years old)  brazilian Javascript programmer. I’m trying to make a game since… ever…

I have tried to learn Python, C++, Java, Vbasic and a lot of other languanges, but I was like 7 years old…

Last year, I started to search a lot about games, specially indie games and game development. I learned A LOT.

Some months ago, I started to learn Javascript and, for the first time ever, I was understanding the tutorials! (btw, Codeacademy is awesome).

After learning Javascript, I started to look for a engine.

I tried Crafty.js, but It’s physics are kinda buggy.

Then, I tried to make a engine from scratch, but quickly gave up.

Then, last month, I started to make a engine using Box2dweb. And it turned out pretty well! I’m very happy with it.
I love indie games (specially Cave Story, SMB, VVVVVV and Bastion) , I love retro games (specially Super metroid, LOZ: ALTTP and Sonic 3 & Knucles), I love html5 (specially canvas).

Tools for the job:

Engine: My own, Box2dweb based, html5 engine.

Gfx: Gimp.

Music: Garageband.

Sfx: Garageband and SFXR.

Timelapse: ??? (Someone know a good program or bash script to make screen timelapses on linux?).

Level editor: I’m currently working on a all-purpose-editor for my engine, but It doesn’t gets done in time, I’ll use Tiled.

I’m not a good pixel artist by any means, so, expect a game with minimalistic and monochrome graphics.
I’m a musician (a flutist) and somewhat a composer, so, music is probably one of my strong sides (the other is programming).

Just a question:

LD starts at Friday 2:00 AM in the universal Greenwich time, right? On Brazil, the time zone is GMT-3. So, in Brazil LD starts at Thursday 11:00 PM ?
