Nothing like jumping in with both feet! I’ll be entering LD 22 and it’ll be my first. The tools I’ll be using are most likely to be some or all of:

• Java! Yay!
• IntelliJ Community 11 – my favourite IDE.
• Paint.NET – graphics and generally a nice image editor.
• SFXR – I’ve not used this before but it looks as though it’ll be useful indeed.
• JBox2D – if I decide to throw physics into a game I’ll probably use the Java port of Box2D.

I think the things I’m most concerned about are the sound portions of the same, as I’m certainly no musician, and actually packaging the game and publishing it so people can play it easily. I’m not too keen on apps but they are quick and easy to do..unfortunately I don’t have much experience with them being a “desktop Java” programmer by trade. We’ll see how it goes I suppose.

And as a side note for myself, it’ll be nice to start a game project and actually finish it for once. NO REDDIT FOR YOU!
