I’m joining in

Hi guys, I’m an anglo-frenchie computer sciences student and electronic musician kinda.

It’s been a while I’ve wanted to Ludum Dare and now’s my chance, I hope.

I’ve never made a game, although I have scrapped quite a few projects, hopefully the pressure of finishing on time will help.

I’m currently staying at my sister and her boyfriend’s place for a few days, so I’ll be using her old (not that old) laptop for Windows work.

Good luck to all, and have fun!

 

Update :

Tools of the trade :

Borrowed DELL Studio 17 laptop running Windows 7 (Thank you ChibiNeko, my sister) and Visual Studio 2010 (thank you university freebies)

ASUS eeePC 1015 PEM Seashell running Crunchbang Debian Linux and gedit/gcc

Will be using the following software on both machines :

Renoise and GIMP for content creation

The SFML graphics library

 

I’m used to developing on Linux more than Windows, but since most gamers are hoping for a Windows playable, I’ll go with that, I’ll try and make it cross-platform though.

I’ll be streaming from http://www.livestream.com/drjarajski and tweeting from http://twitter.com/#!/DrJarajski

 

I hope I’ll be able to keep up the pace and put out something cool, I’ll spend tomorrow making sure my SFML knowledge is up to scratch, and I’ll have to check the rules about preparing some boilerplate game engine stuff. My screenname is Gaeel and DrJarajski depending on the weather.
