I guess I’m in! My first time, I’m new to game dev aswell, so this will be fun.
Not sure whether to do the Jam or regular competition, though.

I’ll be using Java with the Slick2D library.
For graphics, I’ll use Photoshop CS6 and ASEPRITE.
BFXR and Musagi for sounds and music, I may not make music, though, but if I do I’ll be using Musagi.
Ooh, and I’m also hopefully going to be using Chronolapse to timelapse my first LD 😀
I’ll also try to get applets working, but I can’t promise I will.
My new monitor will hopefully be coming on Wednesday, so I’ll be extra-pro for the competition 😉

I think that’s it!

So yeah, recommend either the Jam or regular Compo for a complete newbie.
Thanks!
