School is unfortunately keeping me quite busy, but seeing as it is the tenth anniversary of Ludum Dare, I just cannot miss it. It would be a great first time.

If I do decide to make a game I will be using Nimrod to code it, this could go horribly wrong as I have never tried to create a full game in Nimrod before. I will use SDL in conjunction with Nimrod.

Other tools that I will be using will be: Aporia, GIMP/Paint.NET (I still haven’t decided whether I will work on Windows or Linux), some kind of sound generator.

It should be fun!

I probably won’t be able to do a full 48 hours though. But this is going to be a good learning experience, so I don’t care if I don’t win.

This is my second attempt to compete in Ludum Dare. Hopefully I will actually create a game this time.

This will mostly be an experiment to see if Nimrod can be used to create a game yet. It might result in serious failure. I will be using:

Language: Nimrod

Libraries: SDL (?), Nimgame

Audio: Bfxr, LMMS, Audacity

Graphics: GIMP

Others: Aporia

Good luck to everyone else competing!

My third attempt.

Unfortunately I haven’t had much luck on any of my previous attempts, hopefully I will have some sort of game at the end this time!

Got 8 cans of Coca cola stocked up, a pepperoni pizza ready to be baked, and lots of other edible things!

I will be trying to use Nimrod again.

Libraries: Nimgame/SDL/SFML

Audio: Whatever works

Graphics: Haven’t decided yet, probably GIMP.

Text editor: My very own, Aporia.

Just spent the first 4 or so hours attempting to draw the main character… it’s not going very well. I seem to have a basic idea of what the game will be, not that it’s a good idea, but I want something to submit!

The title of the post might be puzzling, I chose it because I had a timelapse running on Linux, and only realised just now that the Cinnamon WM/DE/w/e fails at taking screenshots… to XFCE it is.

Sadly, it took me way too long to develop my game, and its current state is quite unfinished; it doesn’t even have enemies yet.

I might be able to finish it if it wasn’t for the fact that I have school tomorrow and a test…

And on another note, I think i’ve caught a cold.

Perhaps I will be able to finish it tomorrow, or some other time.

It has been great fun though, and I will definitely compete in the next LD and perhaps some mini-LDs.
