First time ludum dare and I’m pretty excited! Been lurking for a while but couldn’t make anything due to important life stuff.

A Little About Me: I generally gravitate towards 2D platformers when making games. I usually make games that are pretty difficult and people tend to rage quit a lot I do this because I am amused by others misfortunes. But I think I’ll mix it up a bit and make something not so frustrating. I tend to focus mainly on gameplay rather than graphics and sound. My game’s usually lack polish and that’ll probably be my downfall, but I hope to correct some of my faults with this competition!

Well that’s enough about me!

>I’ll be using Game Maker 8.0 and/or 8.1 because it’s easy to code.

>Gliffy,  pen + paper,  and notepad for design.

>Sfxr for sound.

>I guess I’ll use Notessimo , Wolfram and/or Aviary for music depending on what type of style I’m going for.

>Graphic’s Gale,  GIMP, Adobe Fireworks, and/or Paint for graphics depending on what type of style I’m going for.

I’m quite new so I don’t know the rules quite well but is stuff like time lapses required?

Anyways, good luck to everyone!
