Hey Ludum Darers!<\/p>\n

Just a quick heads up: If you can’t contain your anticipation of this month’s coming LD, there are two opportunities to vent this weekend!<\/p>\n

First up, RPGDX are holding a 48 hour contest, with the theme “Sidescrolling Mini-RPG<\/b>“. It’s not a sub genre you see a lot of, so there’s bound to be lots of room to explore it! A few of you might remember the LoFi RPG contest earlier in the year, which went down quite well \":)\" The rules are loose, and attempting to make an RPG in that kinda timeframe is a pretty interesting experience, to say the least. More information here!<\/a><\/p>\n

Also, if you happen to have two hours free at midnight on saturday (GMT),\u00a0 Glorious Trainwrecks<\/a> host a rather cool monthly jam called Klik of the Month<\/a>, which happens to fall this weekend. Klik and Play is the recommended development environment, but you can use anything you like – the only rule is that you finish whatever you’re working on in just two hours<\/b>. More information on that here<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Personally, I’m planning to do both \":)\" And can’t wait for Ludum Dare!<\/p>","time":"August 12th, 2009 7:15 am","title":"RPGDX Sidescrolling Contest, Klik of the Month #26"}
