This is the first time I’ll be participating in the Ludum Dare. I’ve been working with computer graphics and game design for several years now, dabbling in bits and pieces of modeling, shader code, programming, etc. I’ve done game jams in the past, and I’ve always pushed myself to create a 3D game. This game jam will be no different, I plan on creating a full 3D game.

I’ll be using XNA, C#, and several other graphical tools (Photoshop) to create my game. Following the rules of the contest, I’ll be using no other frameworks other than the base XNA framework and possibly some code from the samples provided on the XNA website. All of my code will be from scratch.

I’ll be posting a timeline of my work throughout the contest on Ludum Dare, and on my blog, along with HD video posts on Vimeo.

A side note – I’ve also previously hosted my own game jam too at Michigan Tech, it was called the Houghton Game Jam which is now being hosted by Husky Game Development.
