Hi, I’m Dock, and I’m new to Ludum Dare!<\/p>\n

I’m going to enter LD for the first time this weekend, so this week will be spent mentally preparing.\u00a0 I’m fairly new to this sort of thing, and I only completed my first game, Tumbledrop<\/a>, a couple of months ago.\u00a0 I’m more of an artist than a coder, but I’m working hard to improve my coding skills and something like this seems like it should be a lot of fun no matter what.<\/p>\n

I’ll be using Unity<\/a> for the contest, and I’m hoping to do something in 3D, though beyond that I’m not sure. I’ll find out on saturday once I receive the theme!<\/p>\n

Until then, I’ll be sure to read Sol’s LD survival guide<\/a>, stock up on food, and get some coding practice in.<\/p>","time":"December 1st, 2008 3:43 am","title":"Getting ready for LD13"}
