First timer.  I have a custom C++ engine which I’ve tinkered with on and off for several years.  It’s never been available publicly until now, but I intend to put the whole thing up on github when I’m done.  I’ll be doing a 2D game this time around, though I’ve done 3D work in this engine before (and the whole pipeline for 3D is there if I change my mind at the last minute.)

Tools and libraries:

• Developing on Mac OS X (but can and will build on Windows as well)
• GLFW
• YSE sound engine
• Tiled map editor
• rapidxml (Just for loading tmx files from tiled)
• Pixen (maybe Pixelmator and gimp too)
• bfxr
• Emacs

Didn’t realize until last night that this was this weekend, and am coincidentally all by myself for the weekend too.  Scraped together a starter project and tools as fast as I could, so here we go!

“Space Shift” has a spaceship and a bunch of shapes.  Shell screen is set up and it’s basically shippable now if I had to.  Still lots of stuff to do to make it better!

I'm sure if I just spent half an hour more I would have the best Ludum Dare game ever, but oh well, this will have to do!

This was my second LD, first was back in 2016. Here's my game, Star Twit: H. Nothing or Direct link to game
