I just miss every single one of them.<\/p>\n <p>Will be my first attempt at a competition like this but I&#8217;ve been failing at game development for years so I think I&#8217;m pretty well prepared.<\/p>\n <p>I&#8217;ll probably be hacking it out in Python. Likely to use pygame or pyglet depending on what I decide to make, but I might also be tempted to use <a href=\"http:\/\/doryen.eptalys.net\/libtcod\/\">libtcod<\/a> because I&#8217;ve been experimenting with it a lot lately. All depends on what works best with the theme I suppose ^^. I wish I were cool enough to do something all flash or ajaxy or whatever, but alas I know nothing of AS or JavaScript.<\/p>\n <p>Anyways, I&#8217;m pretty excited and I might have the whole weekend wide open so we&#8217;ll see what happens. With any luck I will finish and release a game for the first time because of this ^^.<\/p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/intro\/\" rel=\"tag\">intro<\/a><\/p>","time":"December 16th, 2010 2:26 pm","title":"A wild developer appears!"}
