Ludum Dork, eh?
Felt the need to use that somewhere, but couldn't think of anything, so hey — post title! (Also, hooray 15th post on the site!)
Looks like this'll be my ninth consecutive participation, and I'm as excited as ever. I'll forego the usual list of tools I'll be using and simply mention the new ones, i.e:
Inkscape (Graphics): I've technically used this in previous Dare submissions, but this time it'll be my primary tool as opposed to a secondary option, as I feel I've gotten used to it enough to make it work.
Caustic 3 (Music): While I'm still very new to using this, I've made more progress with (intentional!) music creation using it than I have with anything else I've tried so far.
If you've not heard of these before and would like to use them yourself, you can find them here (Inkscape) and here (Caustic).
Have fun, everybody!
