Hi all,<\/p>\n

Since this is my first post I will shortly introduce myself. I am a simple portuguese guy fresh out of university (MSc in computer science, University of Coimbra) that loves to read, listen to and play music, and to develop stuff :).<\/p>\n

This will be my first attempt at participating in Ludum Dare. I have only recently started to develop games, and am doing my best to make it my full-time occupation (indie style). The Ludum Dare will be the perfect opportunity to hone my technical and game design skills, and to receive useful feedback.<\/p>\n

As for technologies I am thinking of using sprite.js<\/a> for the graphics, and cfxr<\/a> to generate some nice sfx \ud83d\ude09 (thank you Ludum Dare posters \ud83d\ude09 ). If physics are required I will probably stick with Box2D<\/a>. If anything else is needed, improvisation will be the way! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

As for the art itself, I will try my luck with my wacom or some pixel editor.<\/p>\n

I wish the very best luck to all of the participants, and am looking forward to see very nice games being born \":)\"<\/p>\n

See you around!<\/p>","time":"December 15th, 2010 4:57 am","title":"A brand new challenge"}
