Hello everyone,<\/p>\n

First time LD’er here, looking forwards to seeing what odd combination of themes combine to inspire us to greatness this time!\u00a0 I’ve got a long weekend free (it’s a Bank Holiday – woo!) and nothing to get in the way but my own procrastination.\u00a0 I’m intending to do my entry in XNA\/C#, if that’s allowed, using SketchUp with a .X exporter for any 3d graphics I may happen to need.\u00a0 Of course, never having used XNA or C# in anger before, it should be a hell of a learning experience – hence the title of this post!<\/p>\n

In real life I’m a professional Level Designer – which usually means I know a bit of scripting, and a bit of art – but not\u00a0that much\u00a0of\u00a0either!\u00a0 Wish me luck, as I wish you all the same!<\/p>\n \n
