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

A Little About Me: I generally gravitate towards 2D platformers when making games.\u00a0I 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\u00a0frustrating.\u00a0I 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!<\/p>\n

Well that’s enough about me!<\/p>\n

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

>Gliffy, \u00a0pen + paper, \u00a0and notepad for design.<\/p>\n

>Sfxr for sound.<\/p>\n

>I guess I’ll use Notessimo , Wolfram and\/or Aviary for music\u00a0depending on what type of style I’m going for.<\/p>\n

>Graphic’s Gale, \u00a0GIMP, Adobe Fireworks, and\/or Paint for graphics depending on what type of style I’m going for.<\/p>\n

I’m quite new so I don’t know the rules quite well but is stuff like\u00a0time lapses required?<\/p>\n

Anyways, good luck to everyone!<\/p>","time":"April 15th, 2012 4:40 pm","title":"I\u2019m in!"}
