Hey from the newbie amateur of the competition.

Being from Europe I had the joy of waking up at 3.30am just to check the selected theme and sleep a couple hours on it. “You are the Villain” is a great pick, I have to say. I can’t wait to find out what the others did! 😀

Being a big newbie at making games in general, and completely unprepared, I first had to struggle with my coffee while picking up the best tools for the task. I finally settled with JMonkeyEngine, just because I have no idea what I’m doing from a technical point of view.

I spent some time thinking up of a theme and a witty title. I then hurried down a couple scribbled graphics to build the basics. Let’s say I already know I probably won’t finish it in time, but I’ll do my best to finish at least a playable level.

It’s a vertical shoot’em up. I hope I’ll get at least some things right and learn plenty of things this week-end!
