So, first time participating in the Ludum Dare, will go for the Jam and will be collaborating with my brother (will do the spritework) and maybe a friend doing some chiptune stuff. So, this is what we will be using, mostly:

-Actual game making and programing: Game Maker 8.1 Standard

-Art: Photoshop, Gimp, Paint, paint.NET

-Sound/Music: sfxr, bfxr, Audacity and possibly a certain DS homebrew/game whose name I forgot

Other than that I may use Matt’s Game Maker Grandma Engine code as reference/base (if interested you can get it here:  http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=5790.0  the dude that made also made some nice games which you should check out). I was planning on finish learning Lua’s 2D game development API, LOVE, but I didn’t have enough time to do so so I’ll leave it for another project. I might also stream stuff using OBS or even Xsplit though I am fond of OBS’ quality.

So, yeah, good luck to everyone and I hope to have fun participating and playing whatever comes out of it from other players.

Cheers :3
