I can’t quantify how rewarding participation in the last Ludum Dare was, so I’ll keep it short:

• This compo is awesome
• I’ve been counting the days until LD#25
• Good luck everyone!

Quick summary of things I’ll be using:

• Sounds
  • Audacity, Renoise (tracker), Ableton
  • Last time I quite enjoyed making my sound effects with a crappy microphone, my mouth and a tendency to hit things in the office – so I’ll likely go with that again (though I’ll put a little more effort into audio this year)
  • Didn’t end up adding music last compo after wrestling with a crippling bug for 6 of the 23 hours I had.  This time I’m flagging it as a necessity.
• Language
  • This depends on the theme, but likely either Java/LibGDX or AS3/FlashPunk
• Art
  • Aseprite, Blender, Sculptris, GIMP/Inkskape
• Caffeine
  • LOTS

I’ve successfully gotten my shifts rearranged so I’ll actually be participating in the full 48 hours this time, hopefully with more to show by the end.
