Oh dear universe, that sounds like a horrid porn title! Oh well, I’m sticking with it.

So I’m in on my first game jam ever. I started learning game/software development in January of this year, but don’t have all that much to directly show off. I have learned drastic amounts over the course of the last 4 months, after a 3 month break to handle several life transitions.

The one thing I’m hopeful for, is that I don’t get over-ambitious and try to do something too complicated, lose motivation and then just give up. I’ve had a couple of those projects recently, so I’m actively focusing on trying to simplify.

As for the tools I’ll be using: Unity (C#), Paint.net/GIMP/Photoshop, Audacity, possibly Blender if I can get my brain around it, Visual Studio 2012, and probably something I’ve forgotten exists that I use.

As we’re getting close now, I’ve opted to clean up my workspace a bit and share it with all of you!

I won’t be live-streaming, but I will probably be blogging/tweeting (blog, twitter) my progress and screenshots throughout the weekend. I’m also not against moving whatever my project ends up being to the jam instead of the dare if I need to, but I’m still committed to hitting the 48 hour deadline.

Good luck to everyone, wherever you are!
