A group of around 8 students from the young Olin College is challenging the Ludum Dare Jam.  We have a livestream at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/olin-ludum-dare

We’re making a platformer based in a large spacecraft.  The hook – our lonely spaceman can make the spaceship move beneath his feet.

Our platform – Python/Pygame+Box2D.  We have some artists working on basic arts and have figured out our basic plan of attack for tomorrow.

We’ll keep the Ludum Dare community posted with posts frequently.  Good luck to everyone out there, and look forward to our game!
