I had such a blast during LD #21 that I feel obligated to also participate in LD #22.
Sadly, I am not sure if I will have the time to finish a game this weekend as RL will keep me busy. Nevertheless it’s worth at least a try.

Tools that I will use:

Language: C
IDE: Visual Studio 2008
Lib/Engine: A custom library (uses OpenGL for graphics) You can download it here
Gfx: Paint.net
Audio: sfxr and FL Studio
Misc: Recording the whole process with Chronolapse.

Good luck everyone!

So, my setup for LD22 involves using my Laptop as my windows build testbed, and my main PC with a triple monitor setup for development, running Arch Linux with KDE4 and PyCharm as my IDE.

I’m going to be listening to my normal String Quartet playlist (link for spotify users) which is a variety of tracks (mainly Rock, given my taste in music) done by a string quartet. It’s enjoyable, but also doesn’t distract you too much while coding.

This is my first Ludum Dare.
 
 I will use my entry to showcase my music production talent and get a taste of video game development.

Professionally, I am a Web Application Developer for a Financial Trading company and will appreciate the change of pace.

For a taste of my music visit: http://www.soundcloud.com/DJSakamura
 
 Good luck to all

the theme is not really inspiring me that much so i’m planning on spending the weekend working on my game from the last competition, the dream forest. i’ve made some progress since the end of LD21, but not nearly as much as i was hoping to have made by now. this time’s theme is actually quite relevant to the story i want to tell with it. here are some screenshots of my progress since the LD21 version:

I’ll KISS:
Engine: My simple engine(Mainly just has topdown map support and limited entity support)
Made in Java.

I’m in, by the way. I wasn’t able to do Ludumdare events earlier this year, so I’m excited to do something simple for this.

Using doing Unity, Photoshop, Monodevelop, 3DSMAX, blah blah. ^_^

Are you a Linux user who is about to participate in Ludumdare? Here is a quick and simple command-line script that uses the scrot utility to take one screenshot of your desktop every minute. You can merge them together as a movie file later on using mencoder

#!/bin/sh

##########################################
# This is the script that I will be using
# to generate my Ludumdare timelapse
# Below is the command I will use to
# convert it to a video file when I am
# done.
#
# Don’t forget:
# apt-get install scrot mencoder
#
# mencoder -oac copy -audiofile music.mp3 -ovc copy -mf w=640:h=400:fps=12:type=png ‘mf://./*.png’ -o timelapse.avi

while [ 1 ] ; do
scrot ./”`date +%F_%H.%M`”.png
sleep 60
done

Ahoy all.

I’m not sure where it’s going but here is a Work in Progress of my entry. Photoshop only so far, will being coding as soon as I get a sharper idea of my game.

I hope you like it =)

Rather excited to be entering the Ludum Dare this time around! My time is very much occupied for most of this weekend sadly, but I’ll try to do as much as I humanly can.

What little I can make, will be done with:

• Stencyl
• sfxr
• Photoshop / Fireworks
• pxtone
• Famitracker

Looking forward to the theme announcement very much just now!

Fingers crossed for a good LD,

I’m going skiing for most of the weekend, but that doesn’t mean I can’t do the jam and finish for monday! Anyways, here’s one of these because they’re fun.

I tried to install glapse (I’m on Arch by the way), but I got stuck because my mirror (waterloo) doesn’t have ffmpeg, and I’m too lazy to manually download it or to change my mirror to find it. Oh well, maybe next time. I got sfxr though, so if I need sounds I’ll use that.

EDIT: Just saw the convenient scrot script, will use that!

EDIT EDIT: Aaargh! Waterloo doesn’t have mencoder to combine the screenshots into a timelapse!

We’re three friends from Sweden, joining the Jam for our first time. We started writing a base with ClanLib but we couldn’t get it to compile on Windows with MinGW, so we just scrapped it and we’re currently stressing with porting it to SDL 1.2 to make it work on both Linux and Windows.

We’ll be using:

• C++
• SDL 1.2
• Qt4
• bfxr
• LMMS for some menu music or whatever, if we by any chance have time left

We won’t be live-streaming but you can spy on our SVN log at http://memoryleek.com/log. Also follow us on twitter @ML_Dev.

There is a possibility that we may all be doing this for the next 48 hours…

Here, at the University of Aberdeen (Scotland, not to be confused), we’re warming up. Although, a few more will show up tomorrow:

If you tweet us, our robotic girlfriend will speak it out loud to us… You can also move the webcam around by clicking randomly on the picture.

Nothing new here, just another Ludum Daree about to make sweet love to the text editor of his/her choice for 2 days.

See you on the other side!

I’ll be using Unity 3D with or without Orthello2D

Can’t wait to get started

AAAAAAH!~  Why is LD always on the most weirdly-timed weekend?  The first time I participated I was in the middle of moving!  Last time I was just about to start a new job!  This time… Sunday is my birthday!  Yet…. I’M IN!  That’s right, folks – I’m spending my birthday making an LD entry!~

So… Like many people, my life tends to be pretty busy, and I don’t much keep up with the LD community between compos.  I wasn’t even able to participate in voting this time, except for the final round… and there’s some kind of [joke?] drama about kittens?  Fill me in, eh?  Or not.  Just give me a theme, and I’ll give you a game!  ‘Cause that’s how I roll!  See you in the IRC room… if my client ever loads?

Tags: alone, game, kitten, pygame, python

In for the Jam. There will be three of us, but otherwise we’ll be sticking to the stricter rules wherever possible. Though, an extra 24 hours is very tempting… We’ll just have to see how things go.

Using:

Code: C# with Visual Studio 2008

Engine / Framework: Axiom, SlimDX, SharpInputSystem

Art: Photoshop with Wacom tablet for the art dude, GIMP for the rest of us if necessary

3D: Blender

Sound: sfxr / bfxr, Audacity if necessary

Music: Wolfram Tones seem likely unless we find something else interesting or someone adds more hours to the day…

It will be Windows only initially, but since Axiom works with Mono, I should be able to do a Linux port after the initial competition (if I can figure it out…)

Whew… Almost time!

Lets Rock!

It seems the idea is to say “I’m In” here when you join Ludum Dare. I hope that’s right! It’s my first time.

I’m in.

I’ll be using Adobe Flex with FlashDevelop and probably a mix of Paint.NET and Paintshop Pro 8 for the graphical stuff, and that neat little sfxr tool for sounds.

Because it’s my first time and I’m crazy I’ll be making stuff with just the base Flex/Flash library and we’ll see how far I can get.

Thank you!

Changing my mind so much lately. I think I’m going to decide which tools to use RIGHT when the clock its 0. Oh by the way, my stream will start at 5:00pm PST today at http://justin.tv/danlthemanl. PLEASE watch for some intense gamedev action and awesome music. HERE WE GO.
