Very well! I shall join this Ludum Dare event, FOR THE THIRD TIME!
Even though it is more than a week left until it starts I can already feel the hype build up! ALL THE HYPE! After looking through the themes in the Slaughter poll, I really hope for either the Dream theme or the Tower theme. I already have some vague ideas for what to do in those themes. Better to have a tiny idea prepared than nothing at all.As for language and tools. I’m not fully decided yet on all things. I am 99,9999~% sure that I will create a pixel art game, but I do feel tempted to try to make hand drawn graphics for the game. The thing that stops me is the lack of experience with hand drawn animations and the fact that we only have 48 hours.

Language and IDE
Java in Eclipse or C#/XNA in Visual Studio

Graphics
Pixel Art in Game Maker

Audio
Sin/Saw waves (still looking for a tool to make waves in the first place)

Source for ideas
Staring out the window. Tis a great way to get ideas! (I am not responsible if you would fall into procastination while doing this.)

Other tools
Livestream, friends, chat, TONS of soda and loads of music.

Edit: I just want to add the link to my livestream for anyone who would like to pop in completly randomly and startle the buck out of me. [Link]
