Still not decided if I will make something or not seeing how I still have one more exam to go next week so it depends on how confident/bored I am studying.
If I do make something it will be using HaXe using the libraries HaxePunk and NME.
This is my first attempt.
It will be hard making sound effects and music.
Language: C++ with SDL
Tools: mspaint.exe, Visual C++ Express 2008 and undecided audio tools
This will probably be a bit hard, because i usually think a week before even starting to program anything. 
Hello!
First LD! Going to take part in the jam with my brother/hobos who show up at my house.
I’m planning on using: HTML5 + Paint.net + Audacity
Tags: LD22
… for my third LD. I’m in that mood again, but my flesh is weak …
Wish you all the best!
(Oh, if I enter I’ll be using Blender and it’s game engine)
Hi all.
This is my first Ludum Dare. I’ve thought about joining for the last few compos but real life has always intervened. Hopefully I can make something playable at least.
I will be using java with Slick 2d and Allegro Sprite Editor for graphics. Don’t know about sounds yet.
I’ll be making it in HTML/JS
Will publish to http://hyperturtle.net/ld22
Source code will be at https://github.com/hyperturtle/hyperturtle.github.com/tree/master/ld22
Stuff I’ll use:
Possible other stuff I might use:
Other tools:
Let’s be quick. I. Am. Totally. In.
Tools for the fools : Will do my code on Flashdevelop w/ FlashPunk (<3) & TweenMax (<3), graph some pixelz with Photoshop, make sounds with Sfxr and if I’m feeling the need to, crappy music with Nanoloop.
Don’t forget, baguette. Let’s have a good jam o/
As a cookie monster, I’m not often seen in a game development contest. Usually I’m right outside the cookie factory, but they closed it. 
So since there’s no more cookies, here I am, ready to make a game! (probably with cookies involved :P)
I’ll use Blender and GIMP (as an extra rule for me, I just want to use both of them, nothing more). I’m using this as an opportunity to learn more about these tools and apply my knowledge in game design.
Most important, I hope everyone enjoys the competition and have fun!
Good luck everyone!

Glutten for punishment that I am, I’m in for another Ludum Dare. I’m gonna try something a bit dangerous this time, by using the compo/jam (most likely the jam) as a crash-course test for Unity3D. I’ve heard lots of good things about it, but never used it (or even installed it) myself. Let’s see if I can get ANYTHING achieved in it this weekend!
(Disclaimer: I reserve the right to change my mind and use XNA or flex)
Here’s what I intend on using
Coding
Graphics
Sound
Time-lining
I don’t use anything fancy for time-lining, just a table of events on my personal website, with concept art, screenshots, and vidcaps. I have preapred the page for LD22 at http://derekstobbs.net/projects/projects-ludumdare/projects-ld22 and will be tweeting now and again (follow @Kalakian if interested).
The compo starts at 02:00 on Saturday morning here, so it’ll be an early night for me, so I can get up stupidly early, get caffeinated, and try make sense of Unity3D.
Good luck everybody, and have fun!!
Here’s the battlestation I’ll be commanding from for the next 48 hours!
Here you can see the all-important whiteboard, as well as the little nook my desk is in.
Here’s a closer view of the desk itself. I’ve got my laptop and external drive, as well as a scanner-printer, my gamepad, and a drumpad/cupholder that I use when I need to think. I use the rubik’s cubes on the bookcase as well now and again.
6 hours and 20 minutes remain!
Test my previous Ludumdare21 entry. LD is a nice combo and good change to make great games in short time. http://www.kongregate.com/games/Ataverti/butterfly-eater
Most definitely, probably participating–unless real life intrudes as it has a habit of doing.
Using Flash Develop with Flex Compiler, Wacom Bamboo Tablet for art created in GIMP,GraphicsGale, and SmoothDraw, Sfxr courtesy of the awesome Mr. Petterson, audacity for sound editing, and Anvil Studio for music.
>> LD23 edition
<< LD21 edition
So yeah, let’s have this post again because it’s quite fun.
My playlist did not really change much. The focus is still on Chiptune, some Game Soundtracks here and there (by the way, the Humble Indie Bundle 4 just added soundtracks of all the games. Spoilers: BIT.TRIP RUNNER soundtrack is amazing) and a bit of Vocaloid.
So what are you listening to?
Looking forward to doing another LD. I learned a ton last time and can’t wait to get started on another 48-hour challenge!
I will be programming in ActionScript using Flixel with Flixel Power Tools and bloddy.crypto for fast JSON string parsing. I’ll also be using the same code library that I used for my last entry, which contains a collection of helper classes for vector math, basic loading of tilemaps from text files, colored tilemaps, and a crude behavior tree.
The source for all of these helper classes can be found on my github page, and anyone is welcome to use them if they like: https://github.com/K4orta/Boogieman2
Here’s my tool list:
Hello!!
Finally is all right to start the competition, all is ready!!
My desktop is ready to work:
You may notice that my desktop is well tidy and have a pretty visual!!
Well, good luck for all!! And much more luck for me!!!
One of my 2011 goals is to participate at least once in Ludum Dare. I couldn’t make the other ones this year, so I’m not skipping this! I’m totally in!
Workspace is ready… with the help of one of my 11 kids:

I just finished preparing my meal for the weekend. It’s polish pickle soup, the easy edition.
Just cut a lot of potatoes, then grind some polish pickles (the salty ones), cook the potatoes with some stock, then after 25 mintues of cooking, add the grinded pickles, cook another 10 minutes. Add some pickle water if you like it more sour and salty. I add a lot. Then in the end, put in some sour cream. Ready done soup and tasty.
With potatoes
Yummy pickle soup
Just to really get started on how confusing this is to begin even before a competition I’d have to say geesh. Now that that is out of the way there are about 5 hours left before the theme is announced. I’m really hoping for “dreams”, but can deal with quite a few of the themes especially “falling”, “random generation”, “underground”, “teleport”. The one that I think is just plain no fun is kittens. Sorry just hate that as a theme. Looking forward to making one an easter egg. I am also hoping to keep the style very rougelike sans ASCII +1 graphical. We’ll see.
So I am thinking flash AS3 as the development platform and black and white silhouette as the atmosphere.
5 hours till theme announcement and beginning of code writting
I just heard that LD is on earlier today, and after spending the day thinking about it, resistance proved to be futile – so I’m in.
What I’m using (probably):
This is my first Ludum Dare (though I’ve done a couple of other jams previously), so I’m really excited. Which is kind of a problem, since I should really get some sleep before this thing starts.
I’m gonna be using AS3 + flashDevelop. There is a 90% chance I will make a tile based platformer again. Either way it will be awesome.
Spent the last couple of days (off and on, due to injury) working on this!
Player flies a hover ship (green) over a wrapping procedural landscape and has to battle enemy drones (red), haven’t thought of a name for it yet! (ehm!)
All guesses on a postcard and the winner gets Kudos or an old age pension ;o)!
..Now if I build a flying Giant Monster Angry Cyber Kitten model, hmmm!
PS I’m in!
Tags: Guess the Game, unity, warmup
So, from the past 3 years using quadratic interpolation we should get ~1026 entrants. 1024 would be a nice number though, don’t you think?
I’ll spend my weekend at Motion-Twin (our game company) together with bumdum (Benjamin) and deepnight and I might actually do a game for LD#22 (or work on my current project which is also very fun, not yet decided).
The tools I’ll be using will be :
Hi everybody, this is my first attempt at LD!
I will use the Flixel framework with Flashdevelop for the coding, Bfxr for sound and certainly Graphic’s Gale to do some ugly graphs :)..
I have never participated before, but last LD48 I was watching Notch’s livestream while programming a little game over the course of 8 hours. This time I’m in it for real.
I really like building the engine from scratch, so I’m going to do it Notch style, and use only a basic Java canvas and manipulate pixels manually.
I was considering HTML5/JS too. I have tried several ways of creating a fast low-res canvas (but scaled up), but I’m not pleased with the results. Resizing each pixel manually did not yield the frame rate I was hoping for. Ideally, I’d like to scale up the canvas using nearest-neighbor interpolation, but I have yet to get this to work across all browsers (Safari doesn’t seem to respond as it should to -webkit-optimize-contrast).
Anyway, something tells me I need to go and learn how to draw kittens now.
OK, I’m entering my first Ludum Dare!
My day job is working on a massive game, on a project with hundreds of people.
Slowly. Carefully. Without breaking anything.
So even though I’m a “pro” game developer, I’m pushing WAAY outside of my comfort zone. This is the exact opposite of everything I usually do.
If I can finish something – ANYTHING – in 48 hours, I’ll consider it a victory.
My tools:
I think my biggest problem is going to be art. I don’t really like low-fi puzzle games and things like that, I want to tell a story and have characters. Guess they will have to be stick characters. 😀
I have been looking forward to this Ludum Dare. It’s my first time this time, but I’m coming in swinging. Watch out everybody, Zedreth is watching you in.
Just under 5 and a half hours until my first Ludum Dare takes place! My partner and I are pretty excited. I just got back from buying groceries for the weekend. Also just ate McDonalds. So I’m pretty pumped up. And by pumped up, I mean I probably have a clogged artery now. At any rate, we’re excited and I just wanted to say Good Luck to everyone in both the LD48 and LD72! Drink plenty of Nerd, never sleep, eat snack cakes, and most importantly, don’t vote Kittens.
For my first LD48 I’ll be using a very basic game engine from a book I’ve been using to relearn Java.
http://www.delmarlearning.com/companions/content/1435458087/SourceFiles/8087-resources.zip
Also going to possibly use a very basic, not polished, weather system I made this week. (Makes use of the basic game engine.)
http://www.mediafire.com/?f9t1o8wzlr4cdpe
Well I’m in!
My first LD ever, I will try my best.
I am doing something web, so I will keep by FlashDevelop with the FlexSDK. For graphics, Synfig or Flash (we’ll see how opensource I can be). For sound, ACID Xpress and sfxr. Let’s do this!
So, I’m in for the first time 
I will program the game in C++ and I’m going to base it on a little “engine” I’ve been working on 
It can be found here: http://www.host-a.net/u/Diventurer/Diventurer%27s%20Engine.zip
It is using SDL (+sdl_image and sdl_mixer), OpenGL, Windows and WinSock 2.2.
Psst, I think the theme is going to be kittens 
But if you can help then it’ll be more likely that I’ll be in…..
First of all, I pick up new languages fairly quickly if I have a good reference.
To keep it as brief as possible:
My current C/C++ references are “C: How to program Fourth Edition” Deitel&Deitel, and “C++ All In One Desk Reference For Dummies” Cogswell.
Any help regarding Game Programming, OpenGL, GTK+, and Cross-Platform in C/C++ is very very much appreciated…..
Finally, I would like to thank you for your patience in reading this, and I would like to thank anyone in advance for helping.
—-Edit—-
Tools:
5 hrs to go. Almost forgot to do this!
I am in.
Also. ACCEPTINGTHEKITTENCHALLENGE.
Coding in Monkey.
Vector arting in Inkscape.
Musicing in LMMS.
I’m a first timer who has been cursed with shifts at work all over the weekend but I’m going for it anyway! It’s going to be an experience!
I’m going solo and my armoury is as follows:
Visual Studio 2008
Allegro (yeah, I’m going there!)
Photoshop
Paint
C++
I’m going in like a true noob to represent my arguably skilled brethren the world over!

I’ll be using XNA along with a “semi” personal library. I’ll post a link to it later (currently at work).
My Website
http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-20/?action=preview&uid=4043
Good luck everyone.
(Please don’t let the theme be kittens…)
Sorry I didn’t do this earlier – finals…
https://github.com/johnfn/ld22/blob/master/main.py
This is some simple stuff to make bashing out games in Pygame easier. Feel free to steal whatever you want!
So, I’m in. I just finished porting my base code to Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows: game_v0.1.tar.xz. Text rendering is broken on Windows, but who needs text anyway? I’ll do it all in OpenGL and C++. I wanted to get an audio framework working before the contest but I spent too long wrangling with COM interfaces for loading images.
I guess I better put up my “I’m in” post. This will be my third Ludum Dare (the second that I’ll submit a game for – well, probably). I’ll be using FlashPunk this time around, as I’ve very familiar with it right now (having used it for the last few months on my next game), and it will be much easier for people to test it.
Anyway, good luck everyone! May the best developer win!
I’m really excited and nervous too. Last time I saw how Notch did his Prelude of Chambered so it’s really big time pressure. I hope I’ll have my game finished in time.
Tools:
I’m in. I shall probably just be doing the Jam with a friend!
We’ll be using C# with an OpenGL based library for 2D graphics that we made ourselves; sorry for not declaring this earlier, wasn’t sure if it was necessary for the jam! You can see the code in our hg repository. I’ll probably end up using some extension code for the library that adds support for bitmap fonts for pixel-y goodness.
Just releasing a quick library I plan to use in Ludum Dare, consisting of a maze generator and an implementation of A* in java.
https://github.com/xSmallDeadGuyx/SimpleAStar
Tags: java, library, maze, pathfinding, stuff
Alright so, just to cover all bases, here’s what I’ll be using in LD22:
Stencylworks (Flex) for the game itself, though I’ll be working with a blank project, nothing community made.
Renoise for the music, with some chiptune sounds I downloaded a while ago from the community. They’re just individual wave patterns and noise patterns, without loops or anything, so the melodies and all will be entirely original.
SFXR for sound effects, because I totally -suck- at making these myself.
Paint.NET for sprites. It’s all I really need ;o
For fuel I have some energy drinks, diet coke, and kettle chips to keep me going. Here’s to staying up forever!
Sleep is for the week.
First timer yadda yadda yadda. Tools of the trade:
Wish me luck
Mi first Ludum Dare, weapon of choice Flixel FlashDevelop and maybe stage3D
My preparations are done. I think. 😀
I googled around for like 20 minutes until I found an application which would fit my timelapsing desires. It has screen choosing, hard drive space checking, CPU monitoring, and all that awesome stuff that I won’t use anyway (except for the first one I mentioned), but oh well 😛
So… There’s the list of programs I’ll use:
Game making: The Games Factory 2
Graphics: The Games Factory 2/Paint.NET (depending on how complex the sprite is)
Sounds: sfxr
Music: Probably no music again, I’ll try to add some sounds in background instead (birds, winds etc.). If desperate, I’ll find a free, easy to use midi program.
Timelapsing: TimeSnapper Professional
Also, I like the themes in Final Round… Especially kittens. That means I won’t spend a lot of time trying to find any ideas for my game 😀
Ludum Dare #22. My excitement is due to the fact that I am going to be actually working on a game that I hope to complete or atleast give it my best shot. Being my first one, I am pretty psyched. To be honest, participating in LD should be great. You have nothing to loose. You make a game, if you can’t complete it, work on it more and launch it independently. The important thing is to be a part of the experience I guess. I mean imagine this, you’re up 48 straight hours, with hundreds others. This is going to be fun.
I am not a programmer by profession but am certainly one by passion. One things for sure though. The art is going to be crappy. Hopefully the theme will make me come up with a game play that makes the art irrelevant. I have tried my hand at some games but they seem to be stuck at the moment. Hopefully I won’t hit a snag in the middle of all of this.
But hey, where’s the fun in that.
#LD48 here we come.
Works only for OGMO 2, you give it the string of your embedded level file, and the CSV you want from it. It’s for flixel, but might work (With some modification) for other frameworks.
http://ogmoeditor.com/
https://github.com/Deviantg33k/OgmoLevel
Despite never creating a full game before, and being horrible at graphics, I’m in!
Going to be using flixel as the engine, sfxr for sounds, and musagi for music loops. Failing that, I’ll probably resort to gamemaker out of stress 😛
I’m in. Here is a link to some code I will be using: http://www.mentalcyborg.com/code/.
My fever broke this morning so it looks like I’ll be fine for entering! As for tools:
-flashdevelop
-flashpunk with Noel Berry’s advanced platforming engine
-graphicsgale
-and for sound a mixture of sfxr and just clawing at a chalkboard while screeching
We are in
Well, since we are a team, it’ll have to be Jam, but games are more fun to make together, aren’t they? Without further ado, we present you our team, the Alleas:
Septi (programmer) and Wednesday (artist)
This is the second Ludum Dare for me (Septi, and no, I didn’t create anything groundbreaking last time), and the first for Wednesday. For this Ludum Dare, I moved in to Wednesday and set up a temporary workstation. I have some weird network connection problems, so this time I’ll have to work on Windows, not Linux :\ Here’s my stuff:
And here’s Wednesday’s lovely desk:
This, by the way, is Raven, our talisman, he symbolizes:
As for what we will be using, here are tools for programming:
And here are tools for content:
Probably we’re going to use some of my code from the last compo (we’re in Jam, right?), probably not, this all depends on what we’ll be making. With all that being said, we wish everyone best of luck both in Compo and in Jam. Let’s do it
I am in because I haven’t written a game in years…
I’ll be using PureBASIC and Ogre3D for coding and Ableton Live for sound and music production and Paint.NET(Unless my friend decides to assist with art and then Ill be entering the Jam)
Hi,
This will be my first time doing time. I hope i can submit something working 😉
Tools
Hey there,
another newcomer enters the fray. I will be using Stencyl, The Gimp for “graphics”, and BFXR for sound effects. Don’t think I’ll be able to do any music, but if there is time, I might try out Musagi and see if I can’t make some really crappy tunes. 😉
We’ll see if I actually finish anything. Regardless of the outcome, I’m sure it will be fun.
Cheers, Marcus
i have no programming knowledge other than Basic, and a little java. I was thinking of using Game Maker and just going for it!!! Should I?? tell me as a comment here or on my twitter: @dragonlord52
Thanks!
I’ve got my trust camera by my side along with my arsenal of game design tools. I hope to atleast make something during this compo (To be honest motivation is my least worthy skill) but Ihope to be properly motivated (and hopefully not confused about the topic chosen and what I can do with it). Creativity IS my strong point, so I’ll probably think of something good.
I have also accepted the Kitten Challenge so I can give myself an extra goal.
Looks like it’s time to buckle down and sharpen my theoretical battle axes. Again, good luck everyone, and Merry Christmas (or Hannukah, if applicable).
Hello,
Been staring at this screen long enough, I’m in!
-SDL, C++
-Mac, possibly Windows too, it there’s time.
-BSfxr
– Graphics in Pixelmator, Gimp
I just discovered this contest this afternoon (just after sayin’ I will rest this week end) and I guees I will try to make some game.
I’ve never ever coded a game and I’ve almost no experience with graphical libraries (and even less with sounds).
I think my tool will be my browser and javascript for my first participation. I’m still trying to find something that will force me to work all these 48h.
Good luck everyones !
Hi all,
I’m thinking about entering, although work Christmas party clashes with the first day and work with second day… maybe a 20 hour jam… Might bail unless I have an idea for the theme quick smart :s
Engine: Unity (will target mobile and web).
Graphics: Adobe Illustrator, GIMP
Sound: Garage Band, Cakewalk, Audacity
Assets: Anything included as part of Unity
Toolkit: A few components I’ve developed over time (available in the Unity forums)… ASCII Level Loader, Touch Controller, Line Drawing Library
The time is getting closer.
I’m in for the jam.
My setup as of late.
Lua and LÖVE.
Yep, gonna do this for reals this time. Live from NY and its gonna be awesome. More details later, including where I’m streaming from, but here’s what I plan on using…
Programming:
XNA or Construct. It will depend on the theme and how lazy I feel.
Audio:
FlStudio and EWQL Symphonic Orchestra Gold, and various soundfonts from “The Internets”
SFXR, and random sounds
Graphics:
MS Paint or something equally bad… (I suck at art usually @_@)
So excited! Can’t wait to see what all of you make this weekend!
I hereby declare my intention of participating in the 22nd Ludum Dare. I have participated once before, here. I’m very excited about participating once again, and have therefore, and have therefore been mentally sharping my knives, over the past week!
When I last participated I made a couple of mistakes that you guys helped me realize and this Ludum Dare my main focus will be to get these straight:
Additionally, from my warm up game I was once again reminded to include instructions INSIDE the game!
With that in mind, here’s the list of tools that I intend to use:
I will be recording a timelapse with Cronolapse. Happy Ludum Daring everyone!
Alrighty then, I AM IN. This’ll be my first time, cause i’m a total noob to programming, and I cannot wait. This’ll be awesome.
Tools:
-Paint.net
-Gamemaker 8.1
I’ll probably be using a platformer engine that I’ve been working on recently, but it all depends on the theme.
The engine can be found here; http://www.mediafire.com/?67bkv4j39wrbitd
I’m in, and i’m ready.
I forgot to mention in my last post that I will use Audacity for sound converting (if needed) and some components I made for unsuccessful game framework called Project Squared.
That’s it! 4 hours till theme announcement… I’m ready to stay up all night (since theme announcement is in 3 am here).
I’m streaming my work on livestream if you want to see what’s going on 😀
Good luck and have fun!
I am a LD virgin, here to pop my cherry.
I will more than likely be using Game Maker, Gimp, sfxr and Reason, be gentle with me.
I didn’t have time to make a video I’m in, but it’s obvious if you are on twitter : I’m in !
My chosen tools :
– Unity3D
– Align Editor 1.7 for unity3d (5$ for you, free for me as I did it)
– ChronoEgg for unity3d to record the timelapse and to check the dead line every second 😀
– Ableton Live (well.. a friend’s one)
And that’s all, I wish you all luck, very weird ideas and don’t forget to take time to submit your game at the end !
This is the year! Gonna rock it out in LD22 and pump out a game in 48 hours!
Engine – Unity
Sound – SFXR
Graphics – Photoshop
Personal library – A simple character controller script, and a 2d tile map generation script.
This would be my 4th LD. On the fence because I’m flying home on Sunday, and it’s a long trip that arrives just around the submission deadline. I would most likely submit from the airport after we land. The plan would be to get the game done with placeholder art before I have to go to the airport so I can work on art and music while traveling.
Thought I’d give it a shot this year after having watched Notch (developer of Minecraft) competing in Ludum-Dare for the past 2.792 years (thanks wolfram-alpha!). I usually develop my stuff in Java, Python, C#, (some) C, PHP, Javascript and Go. I’m intending to write this in Java.
Monitors are 2x Samsung B2430 (23″ @ 1920×1080) + 1x Samsung 2333 (23″ @ 1920×1080) + 1x Samsung 931BW (19″ @ 1440×900).
Got a fresh windows install (since yesterday since last reinstall was on Christmas day last year, and it has been bugging out for months..)
Will be developing the project in Eclipse, language will be Java (as mentioned above).
Paint.NET, maybe GIMP for image editing
Was considering using my in-development networking library (will be releasing as open-source, in all the listed languages above in a few weeks) but after considering it, it would probably be useless implementing multi-player.
May try streaming it, but really don’t think I’d get any viewers.
Decided to try streaming it, http://www.justin.tv/youlikethaaaat/
The main issue I’ve got at present is no decent time-lapse software. I’ve tried ChronoLapse but it seems to have been designed for dual-monitor at most, I’m able to get it to display right 3 monitors using the “subsection” settings but the most I can get of left monitor is simply black (using negative coordinates).
Just to let you know I’m “ylt” in IRC, and I voted against kittens despite having “ylt!ylt@nyan.nyan.nyan.nyan.nyan.nyan.nyan.nyan.nyan.nyan.nyan.d3s.co” as my host-mask!
Wondering, anybody got ideas on compatible time-lapse software? Temporarily fixed it by setting primary monitor to left, moved taskbar to 2nd left screen and then specifying exact coordinates in “subsection” (in ChronoLapse).
So I really tried to prepare this time. One of my biggest mistakes last time was not to check how the game runs on other OSs. Especially Win7. So I made some tests of the framework beforehand and everything should run. Also I’ve managed to prepare a small configuration app, it should simplify the running of all apps and games using my framework.
The updated template package can be found here.
It’s 4 hours before start and it’s 23:00 here. Time to get some shuteye
While the Contest gets closer and closer i will now try to do a walking animation for a pixel character, something i just was not able to do for my warm up game. I just could not figure out how to do it. So i will now want to try and do that!
The Search for Fun sounds like a useful title story. :-)
So here we are again – a new Ludum Dare. After procrastinating as long as possible I’ve finally done some preparation. I’m going to be using my Renaissance Engine again – I already used it in LD20 and when I just set up a branch for LD22 (SCM is a wonderful thing) I realized I didn’t really do much work since then, although it is far from finished. Faaaaaaaar. Whatever. It’ll do.
Here in Germany it’ll be 3 am when the theme is announced – I’ll be asleep by then, being well rested is more important than starting the minute the theme is announced. The german Making Games Magazin arrived just in time for Ludum Dare, I’ll be reading that in bed, followed by sleep.
So good night (where applicable), see you tomorrow! And happy coding!
My workspace (the clean part of it, anyway)
We are in!(in the jam that is) We are a team of 5 guys ( and girl ) from Germany. We will be using C# , xna and a little selfmade library. We wish everyone a happy Christm………. erm Ludum Dare.
and here is our little workplace:
Tags: i am in
I don’t think any of the themes should catch me totally off guard…
I’m sort of happy with my game from last LD, but not nearly enough. I hope to do a lot better in executing a FUN game. To do that I’m going to abolish plans of storyline unless it’s really excellent and I can turn it into mechanics as well, and add it in after I have a fun game.
I’ve had two issues in the run up to Ludum Dare:
1. I have been busy this week due to unforeseen circumstances. No further work has happened on the Repton clone (which is particularly sad as it is so close to being finished). When I finish it I’ll post it on SourceForge and will post a link to it on this blog.
2. There is a problem with X on my Linux installation. Fortunately I only just set up MinGW, notepad++ and SDL on my Windows installation, so this will have practically no effect on my development environment whatsoever (except that I no longer will have an undeserved feeling of gosu from using Linux).
Anyway, four hours until the competition and I’m all set! Good luck to all!
I’ll be making my game with
libGDX (code.google.com/p/libgdx)
and toxiclibs(http://hg.postspectacular.com/toxiclibs/wiki/Home)
Suese
The stage is set with 5 hours left and this Suese is already gettin’ loose like a Canadian goose.
Competition area is cleaned, sterilized, and good to go. This Suese is ready to operate. Time to get this man a patient!
Good luck everyone!
Screenshots - 4 hours before competition.

There's a good reason I enjoy these competitions.
Despite warming up with Love2D and Lua, I am declaring that I will use Flixel and AS3, as I’m more familiar with them, and I want to share it with more people.
Also: because Pixel Art.
I’ll be using Unity and Maya.
I’m not creating enough lately.
This is good timing.
I’m in.
Oh, and I use Unity.
And I still don’t have a clue what sort of programming language or tools I want to use.
This is going to be nothing short of a train wreck.
The countdown is almost over, and I’m still looking for artisty types wanting to Jam. I’m a Unity C# programmer, I’ve tried to crash course myself in modeling the past few days but I’m still just as bad as ever at it. And don’t even get me started on textures and 2D art.
I’m on IRC if you wanna bug me there, or comment here if you’re interested! I’d like to do the Dare but I know that whatever the theme is, I’ll wind up with Attack of the Killer Kubes.
Not sure i’ll have any free time in the next 48 hours..
But depending on the theme I’ll try to make a little game.
Using: C++, Java, Python, HTML5.. I’ll see what I feel like/suits the theme
Good luck everyone
Im in…
Got my energy drinks. And im going to get a good night sleep so i can be ready and fresh for ludum dare 22.
Im going to program in Java( Slick ) or Flash (Flashpunk).
So much procrastinating… this sounds like fun, I’ll submit something this weekend but it’ll probably be terrible. I’ll be using Blender for graphics, probably bsfxr for sound (or maybe Animoog if I don’t lose too much time playing with it) and ImpactJS/HTML5.
In, and hoping to learn to use Unity and SpriteManager ( http://www.unifycommunity.com/wiki/index.php?title=SpriteManager ) over the weekend. I don’t really expect to make anything worth shouting about, but it’s a good excuse to learn some new tech.
I’ll be using C, SDL, and—you guessed it—Vim.
(Hopefully. My weekend is going to be a bit busier than I would’ve liked.) 😉
Good luck, folks!
Finally done with finals and getting set up!
Here’s the obligatory workspace photo (I think I need some more screens…):
I’ll be hacking up some quick basis code over the next couple hours (it’ll be on my github here). I’ll probably be using SDL this time (I usually do 3D stuff, but I’d like to give something 2D a try).
Good luck everyone!

Alright! Yeah! Woo! Sticking with what I know, AS3, Flixel (or just straight Flash, if it’s a better fit), Pro Motion, FL Studio. My goal this time around: Create something unique. Let’s do this.
First time Ludum Dare for me, this is what I’ll be using:
Language: C++
Libraries: SDL, SDL_mixer, SDL_image, OpenGL
Tools: sfxr, GIMP, Geany, GCC
I’d post loads of pictures of my epic entourage of monitors, but it really just consists of a laptop. On my lap. Oh well, at least its a pretty decent laptop 😛
I removed 3kg of dust from my desk, it feels so good <3
This is going to be my 2nd LD. My last game was total failure and I’ve learned from that.
