Spoiler Alert:<\/strong> I said 4th the charm last time. I also said that I bet I’d be saying 5th time’s the charm.<\/p>\n

Ludum Dare is coming in less than a week! The only other two things I’m this excited for within the next 3 months are Captain America Civil War(Because of Spiderman), and No Man’s Sky.<\/p>\n

Anyone who’s not yet sure of whether or not to join, I strongly urge you to give it a go. It’s super fun, and you learn A TON each and every time.<\/p>\n

Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Simplicity is key. Look at most of the winners for the compo, and they won because of stupidly simple ideas polished to perfection<\/em>.
\n 2. Try and get everything done on Saturday. Really. If you can do that, you have a full day to polish the game to perfection<\/em>.
\n 3. Make sure you have a clearly and fully planned design before sitting down to code. It helps to keep out confusion, and allows you to polish the game to perfection<\/em>.
\n 4. Take care of yourself. Being able to stay awake and think can really help with those nasty coding bugs. And less time spent fixing bugs allows for more time to polish your game to perfection<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Make sure that after the 48 or 72 hours, you rate as many games as you can. Be sure to rate well, and leave a constructive<\/strong> comment. I like to try and rate all the games of people who comment on my game. Lets see if we can make that a thing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My Tools:<\/strong>
\n Unity
\n Pyxel Edit(Go ahead and buy it. Worth $10 definitely)
\n BFXR
\n And as for music… well, I just pretend it doesn’t exist. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Good luck everyone!<\/p>\n
