This will be my first ludum dare.
I’ve always wanted to participate but just never had the time during school.

I’m a interaction designer + developer by trade, but I have more fun trying to make games.

My thoughts for tools at the moment are…

• Unity 3D for making the actual game
• Photoshop for backgrounds, textures, and quick comps of HUD/UI stuff
• A white-board for mad scientist style sketches
• Fruity Loops for music and sound effects
• Cinema 4D for modeling, and possibly a little animating
• TextMate if I can find a way for it to play nice with Unity

If anyone is interested, I plan on live-micro-blogging my process on twitter.
I’m @radpants

Good luck, friends!
