At least that’s the plan. I live in Europe so I’m going to go to sleep early and wake up early for the compo. Best of luck everyone!

Omelette du fromage

So I read the theme “yesterday” and had the idea floating in my mind while I slept (Europe). I’ve just started, and I’ll be streaming at http://www.twitch.tv/bormeir , AND recording a timelapse. Come say hai.
I’m doing a skyline runner! And a crappy one, at that.

This’ll be my second Ludum Dare, so I hope I can improve on my first game. I’ll be using:

Programming language: Java
IDE: Eclipse
Libraries: Probably just Slick2D (uses LWJGL)
Artwork and related: Paint.net, maybe GIMP
Sound: Audacity, sfxr (life saver!), MilkyTracker
Misc: JarSplice to package up an executable jar, I’ll probably also use ChronoLapse to make a timelapse

Hopefully no RL stuff will get in the way. I think using Slick2D will really speed up development (I used no libraries last time D: )

So after joining a group for the jam, I didn’t like the way they planned to do their game. So I’m going solo instead, in the jam, to make up for the lost time (I’m starting now) and to create something more impressive with the added time.

Also I’ll basically be using the Compo rules: start from scratch etc.
