I’m a long time veteran on the Ludum Dare IRC channel, but haven’t had the chance to take part until now – so LD20 is my first LD. Since it’s dangerous to go alone, I took two old buddies, FlashDevelop and FlashPunk along with me. Besides that, I’m working with PhotoShop CS5 and Audacity, and progress is looking okay so far. The basic gameplay mechanics are starting to take shape, so tomorrow I’ll have plenty of time to add more variation and work on levels – perhaps even incorporate the theme, since I sort of got sidetracked a bit. 😛

A gfx teaser:

Wrote a short post mortem on my project at my blog, you can read it from http://www.oletus.fi/content/ludum-dare-20-lasers-are-dangerous . Overall, I’m quite happy how the game turned out, though I ran into a few bumps along the way too.

I’ll probably get around to rating other people’s games tomorrow or day after tomorrow – already played a few on the weekend, and there seem to be plenty of fun ideas around at least.
