I shall join this Ludum Dare event, FOR THE THIRD TIME!<br \/>\n 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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n <p><strong>Language and IDE<\/strong><br \/>\n Java in Eclipse or C#\/XNA in Visual Studio<\/p>\n <p><strong>Graphics<\/strong><br \/>\n Pixel Art in Game Maker<\/p>\n <p><strong>Audio<\/strong><br \/>\n Sin\/Saw waves (still looking for a tool to make waves in the first place)<\/p>\n <p><strong>Source for ideas<\/strong><br \/>\n Staring out the window.
