Waited long enough to write the post, but I’ll be participating in my first Ludum Dare this weekend. Hoping it won’t go too catastrophically.

I’ll be using:

• Code: Haxe/Haxepunk
• Graphics: GIMP
• Editor: Emacs
• Music: SunVox, Audacity, Otomata? Whatever I use, it’ll probably be shoehorned in at the last minute.
• Other things: Git, about 10 gallons of coffee

Good luck to everyone!

I’ve known about Ludum Dare for a few years now, and have always wanted to join, but never did for fear of failing. Well, on this first attempt, I managed to create a game! This feels unbelievably satisfying.

Of course, my game isn’t going to place highly or win any recognition, but who cares about that? In 48 hours, I created a game with a framework and language I’ve never used before, and managed to stick to a schedule enough to actually get a playable game accomplished.

Here are some stats from the weekend:

• Cups of coffee: 12
• Tracks listened to: 465
• Lines of code: 1394
• Game jams completed: 1

Congratulations to everyone!

Timelapse will be up soon!
