Nice to meet you :bows:.<\/p>\n <p>This is actually my third Ludum Dare, but so far I have been totally asocial and never even introduced myself, let alone post the games, of which there was only one that was even remotely playable. Don&#8217;t ask.<\/p>\n <p>But motivated by the trivial coincidence of this being LD #21 and being 21 years old myself, I have finally braved an intro. I am quite proud of that.<\/p>\n <p>Let&#8217;s see if I can make a game too; shouldn&#8217;t be too hard. No pressure&#8230;<\/p>\n <p>I will be working with the following tools, depending on how far I manage to go of course:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>The ever lovely <a title=\"L\u00d6VE\" href=\"http:\/\/love2d.org\/\">L\u00d6VE<\/a>, if making a desktop game. This&#8217;ll mean <em>lua<\/em>.<\/li>\n <li>The ever&#8230;scripty&#8230;<a title=\"Processing.js\" href=\"http:\/\/processingjs.org\/\">Processing.js<\/a>, if making a web game. This&#8217;ll make it sort of <em>javascript<\/em>, sort of <em>Processing<\/em>.<\/li>\n <li>Inkscape, GIMP, and Mypaint for graphics.<\/li>\n <li>Blender for CGI: I won&#8217;t be making a 3D game.<\/li>\n <li>Sfxr (yay) for sound effects, and possibly <a title=\"Neil Sequencer\" href=\"http:\/\/sites.google.com\/site\/neilsequencer\/\">Neil<\/a> if daring to make music.<\/li>\n <li>My snazzy, Compiz-y desktop running Ubuntu Lucid Lynx.<\/li>\n <li>Certain other non-computational implements.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>I will, almost certainly, not be able to make the competition deadlines, so I&#8217;ll focus on Jam instead. And I will try to come up with something fitting the winning theme, but if I can&#8217;t&#8230;I&#8217;ll just choose another one I like and roll with it &gt;.&gt;<\/p>\n <p>As for participation: I will silently stalk the IRC, and try to visit the Hangouts if my connection holds. I don&#8217;t have enough bandwidth (or courage) to livestream my work, but I <em>will<\/em> set up <a title=\"gLapse\" href=\"http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/glapse\/\">gLapse<\/a> which was thoughtfully made for this very occasion!<\/p>\n <p>Furthermore, I promise not to get too nervous and go into zen-procrastination-mode like I usually do during rushes.<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>[Also: Did I go overboard with the tags?]<\/p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/blender\/\" rel=\"tag\">blender<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/gimp\/\" rel=\"tag\">GIMP<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/glapse\/\" rel=\"tag\">gLapse<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/inkscape\/\" rel=\"tag\">inkscape<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/introduction\/\" rel=\"tag\">introduction<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/javascript\/\" rel=\"tag\">javascript<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/linux\/\" rel=\"tag\">linux<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/love2d\/\" rel=\"tag\">love2d<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/lua\/\" rel=\"tag\">lua<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/mypaint\/\" rel=\"tag\">mypaint<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/neil\/\" rel=\"tag\">neil<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/processing\/\" rel=\"tag\">processing<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/processingjs\/\" rel=\"tag\">processingjs<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/sfxr\/\" rel=\"tag\">sfxr<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/ubuntu\/\" rel=\"tag\">ubuntu<\/a><\/p>","time":"August 18th, 2011 11:13 pm","title":"So,Here it Goes\u2026"}
