First Ludum Dare here, will hopefully lead to my first finished game. I’m doing the compo, but may switch to the jam if time is a problem at the end.

Tools: Godot Engine 2.1, Aseprite, Krita, graphics tablet, Propellerhead Reason 8 and probably bfxr.

I got several years of coding experience, but am relatively new to the art stuff. I use Godot Engine because i don’t have to worry about the lower level stuff and can get right into gameplay coding and art creation. I chose it over Unity and other options because it is free, open source and relatively lightweight. I also like the way how it organizes game objects and stuff. If you are still not sure what to use, maybe give it a look?

Have fun!
