I’m entering for the first time, have wanted to for years and finally found the free weekend!

Using GM:Studio for the sake of 5+ years of familiarity and because I’m not a real programmer =D

I don’t know if I’ll actually succeed at making a thing in 48 hours that is even slightly good but I’m hoping the experience alone will be worth it! Excited to challenge myself. I’ll be livestreaming myself staring blankly at my monitor over the next 48 hours at twitch.tv/shaunjs . Probably not immediately, as the theme gets announced at 2am here in the UK and I’ll need the sleep first!

That said all weaponry has been assembled and is ready to go!

VIDEO GAMES!

Second LD, surely won’t be the last either.

All snacks at the ready, stream will be live at www.twitch.tv/shaunjs

Using: GM:Studio

Potentially aided by : Photoshop, Audacity, BFXR, Flash, and so on.

Video gaaaames!

I’m Shaun Spalding, sometimes known as ShaunJS, sometimes known as the YoYo Games Community Manager, sometimes also known to make video games.

I’ve entered every LD since LD30, making this my 5th! Unsurprisingly I’ll be using GameMaker: Studio again and also unsurprisingly will be streaming my every (waking) moment at twitch.tv/ShaunJS. I also tend to do review + voting streams in the following week too where I play viewer submitted games and we all talk about them and give feedback etc. =)

At YoYo Games we also want to help out the GameMaker Army taking part in Ludum Dare in any way we can, so we’ve put our HTML5 export module on sale for the whole weekend, get those browser submissions in for easy voter access. 😉

My workspace is a total mess but it is nonetheless prepared!

If you’re a GameMaker user hit me up on twitter at @shaunspalding or even @yoyogames (that’s basically me too) and let me know you’re taking part!

VIDEO GAMES.

at twitch.tv/ShaunJS!

This is my 9th LD in a row (counting my 7 hour entry for LD36!). Always the most magical of times =)

Feel free to take a break and stop by my virtual goblin army powered by my GMS2 twitch overlay!
