The community is so helpful and not super-competitive, and it felt great to be part of the competition. I missed the next Ludum Dare, and stopped following the competition for a while. A friend of mine reminded me a week before LD#22 that it was coming up soon, and we ended up having lots of fun making a game together. I had to miss #23 because of other obligations, but I should be able to do #24, hopefully with the same friend!<\/p>\n <div>Outside of Ludum Dare, I&#8217;ve been working on some other games. One is finished, and I&#8217;m writing a website to publish it and future games on. Once it&#8217;s finished and up, I&#8217;ll post a link so everyone here can check it out! We&#8217;ll have a free game or two, and others that have a set price so that we can pay for hosting and make some profit.<\/div>\n <div><\/div>\n <div>My tools for Ludum Dare and game development in general:<\/div>\n <div>-The GIMP<\/div>\n <div>-Either Xcode or KDE Kate for text editing<\/div>\n <div>-C++ and SFML<\/div>\n <div>-bash\/g++ for compiling<\/div>\n <div>-Code::Blocks for a Windows build (maybe I&#8217;ll use it the whole way through as an IDE)<\/div>\n <div>-MilkyTracker and FL Studio for music<\/div>\n <div><\/div>\n <div>Hope to be a part of the wonderful Ludum Dare community again on the 24th!<\/div>","time":"August 3rd, 2012 1:08 pm","title":"Hopefully in!"}
