I’ve done some very minor game development from my own little desk. It was several years ago since last I wrote a line of code for it (Subspace Battle) and that definitely took me more than 48 hours to throw together. But I’m really anxious to try something new, and Ludum Dare is the perfect chance!

Whatever it is I’m doing, it’s going to be using Free software-tools, for instance Vim, Blender and Gimp and I’ll be developing on GNU/Linux. I’m not sure about graphics/game engine, but I’m deciding between Ogre3D, Irrlicht or just SDL. My previous game was done in Irrlicht, and I really think that is what will convince me into using it again. Audio is probably handled either through the content generator I’ve seen people talk about here at Ludum Dare, or fiddling around in Ardour.

I have no idea how this will end, but it’s worth a try!
