I’m going to try Ludum Dare for the first time, I’m currently standing exactly between excited and terrified.  I’ve got a fair bit of experience with SQL and VBA code, but never tried XNA/Flash etc before.  With that in mind I’m not going to try to learn everything and I’ll be using MMF2 (48hrs is not long people!), I’ll try to offset the whole “hey that’s not real game making” accusations by writing all my own custom movements, and limiting the use of the built-in stuff to as little as possible.

Be using good old Paint for graphics (I can’t do graphics), with bfxr for sound effects, and if I get time I’ll do music on GarageBand.

Good luck everyone
