LD28

I鈥檓 in! :P

Hello, hello!

I’m going to try my hand at this whole LD thing! :)

I’ve never participated in any contest like this (the only programming contest I have done is the ACM IPCP!). I’m a student, studying CS, and (unfortunately) have a final exam this Saturday! Of course, I’ve also come no where near finishing a video game before… So I’ve got quite the uphill road ahead of myself!

But, hey, it can’t hurt to try, right? :)

For the contest, I’m looking at using as my tools…

  • IDE / Engine: Unity3D+MonoDevelop (I’ve a decent amount of experience with both C# and JavaScript, but only a touch with Unity)
  • Graphics: Photoshop almost certainly, maybe also Illustrator
  • 3D Tools: Blender
  • Sound:聽SFXR
  • Music: GarageBand
  • LiveStream: OBS? (Never streamed before :P)
  • Misc: Git, maybe Sublime/vim, Audacity, iMovie?, who knows 馃榾

 

I’ve no idea how this’ll all go, but I’m sure it’ll be fun! Good luck to everyone competing! :)

Edit: Added Blender… might be nice if I need to do any 3D models 馃槢

Just from experience, don’t ever stream if you’ve never streamed before or at least have it ready to go long before the LD starts. My brother tried it, and it didn’t work out. He spent three hours during the LD perfecting it, and he could have worked on something else during that time period.

I鈥檓 In :P

Ludum Dare 28 was an utter disaster… A final exam got delayed from the Monday before to Saturday during the event (then to early Monday after at the last moment!). I had nearly zero experience with Unity going into it (which turned out not to be聽too bad of a mistake), and I had zero experience with Blender going into it (the fatal mistake which聽guaranteed my failure :P).

This event,聽I’m going to try to be a bit more sane, and opt for making a 2D game, so I can rely on Photoshop (which I’m comfortable with) instead of Blender (which I still have nightmares about!). I hope to use these days before the start to got comfortable with libgdx and get back into the hang of game dev.

  • Language: Java
  • IDE: IntelliJ
  • Framework: libgdx (and box2d, if necessary)
  • Graphics: Photoshop
  • Audio: Garage Band and/or聽Bfxr
  • Server Side (if for some reason I do that): Likely either Go or Rust (maybe with rust-http)… possibly Node.js

Have fun, everyone!
