Panic starts to set in during Ludum Dare theme voting week and by-golly this week has gone by fast. I wasn’t able to participate in LD #18 so I’m excited to be getting ready for #19. My machines are all rebooted with a clean desktop and ready to rock.

Computers:
– iMac 27″ Core i7
– HP Laptop (in case I need to use any Windows apps)

Coding:
– Flash Builder 4
– Flixel 2.35

Graphics:
– Adobe Photoshop CS5
– Wacom Bamboo
– iPad apps (maybe)

Audio:
– sfxr
– Audacity
– GarageBand
– iPhone/iPad apps (maybe)

Other:
– Chat Mapper (if I go with a dialog heavy game idea)

Time Strategy:

Unfortunately I won’t get a chance to start right away on Friday evening so my usual plan will be out of whack. But roughly this is what I’ll stick to:

– Friday night: Think of an idea that fits the theme
– Saturday Morning: Prototype
– Saturday Afternoon/Night: Drive to Alpha (core content, fully playable, submittable if needed)
– Sunday: polish, tuning, nice-to-haves.
