I think i’ll partecipate if i’ll find the time, unfortunatly this week i’ve an interview and a
lot of stuff to do for my relocation.
Anyway, if i’ll manage to get somethink ready i think i’ll use bash, no special effects, but
maybe some sound.
CIAO and GOOD LUCK!
In an effort to force myself to do something via possible internet shame, I am declaring intent for this weekend.
It’s damned cold outside anyway. What else am I going to do.
After totally failing to submit anything the last time I joined, I’m definitely going to finish something this time, even if it’s totally unplayable.
AND I’ll be streaming the entire mess directly via livestream. 😀
My plan is that everyone else will be too busy watching the stream to actually make any games. Muoahah.
I’ve got some small commitments this weekend but I’d feel terrible if I missed a LD. Gonna do my best to be uber-efficient.
Oh and no shitty themes, plzkthx 😀
Well. I have company Christmas parties on Friday night and Saturday night, but hopefully I will have enough time to cobble something up.
Game Engine: Either Unity (gotta learn it first), Novashell or maybe even Love
Graphics: Gimp, Paint .NET
Audio: Audacity, sfxr
I have two concerts this weekend, but I hope to have time to make something.
I’d like to try out Flixel this time, but in case I get stuck or something, I’ll use my Haxe base code again.
Good luck everyone!
… already. 
Instead of C++ and SDL I will use Java and its standard library. No pre-written frameworks, all from scratch.
I will also use Gimp and maybe Inkscape for graphics. Not sure about the sounds yet, might use DrPeter’s sfxr.

I think I may have invented a word in the header, hm. In any case, I’m planning to participate as well. I hope!
I haven’t really settled on what tools to use yet, but I’m going with some form of Java – either LWJGL, Slick or just the standard API. On top of that, the usual set: Gimp, SFXR, MSPaint (yay!). If I feel inclined to do something in 3d, I’ll also use Wings3D. I sort of feel like doing something with shaders, but I expect a lot of people won’t be able to run it if I do :/
It is quite possible that I will attempt to make a game to fit both into the Ludumdare 48h and Java4k contests, and submit it to both.
Alas, finals + LD = sadness. How many more times will real life interfere with LD? Well, that strongly depends on how I do on my final on Tuesday.
So, with regard to not competing, the tools I will be using:
#2 Pencil
Several Sheets o’ Papers
Enormous Brain in my Head
Oh, what a drag. ;_;
Cheer me up and let some totally awful theme win, like “Rain” or something. 😉
Alright, I’m declaring that I intend to participate… this will be my first LD…
I will be using a work-in-progress custom engine/library, at the moment it’s pretty incomplete, and right now I’m hacking a copy of it into a simple physics wrapper, with some audio and stuff, so it’s more of a framework, so that I don’t have to write all the lower level stuff during the 48 hours…
My engine/library is made with C++ and uses Ogre3d, Nvidia PhysX, OpenAL, and if I have time to make it do something, perhaps some simple lua scripting as well.
I do declare, these declarations are driving me to didactic dexterity. Therefore I hereby do dutifully declare independence from these declarations. Let these daring declarations be destroyed!!

COMPETITION APPROACHING
Take him down Fox!
Use your blasters!
Don’t screw this one up Fox.
It’s too powerful! It’s like it’s… invunerable to all our attacks!
Hint hint hint.
To follow the tradition for this Ludumdare:
“I’m declaring that I intend to participate for the first time”
maybe it turns to the good or maybe it turns to the very bad, we’ll see.
Well this is my first Ludumdare… …well my first Competition for making games ever.
Furthermore i must go for maybe 2 hours to a party.
And I must help a friend in Photoshop.
But I still have plenty of hope that I have something playable in the end.
You know “While there’s life, there’s hope.”.
Because I played in last time with AS3 and Flixel, I will use that, Photoshop for concepts and the visual eyecandys and maybe Alchemy for inspirational use.

(I declare that) I may be a little screwed if the theme’s Twilight Fandom though – I’ve only got a vague idea of what Twilight’s about (for some reason I’ve got it stuck in my head that it’s about a vampire who beats his wife? I always knew those vampires were no good…), and no idea what Twilight fans are like.
Anyway, I’ll most likely be coding in C++ using SDL/OpenGL and PortAudio plus libvorbis, and my template code which you can see here. If not I may use flash, but I reckon I’ll work faster in C++.
I’ve got a 5-hour shift at work on the Saturday, so I’m aiming for a more minimal design than my previous 2 entries. We’ll see how that goes.
Well, due to a surprise entry on the 4th round of voting, I came to a conclusion of what is inevitably going to be the topic of this Ludum Dare. Now, I don’t want to tip my hand just yet, but I figured, hey, I should go and get the box art out of the way, while I still had the idea in my head.
Hope you guys like it.
I’m so sorry.
