Well, I decided that I’m going to do my first Ludum Dare! Assuming I have nothing going on that weekend, I’ll more than likely take part in the Jam.

Tools I’m using:

Language: Visual Basic 2010

Graphics: Paint.NET

Music: No idea. I was thinking about using like, Mario Paint Composer or something simple like that. Any suggestions?

Livestream: Twitch

I’m a bit nervous considering I’m using Visual Basic, but I’m only taking part in the Jam.  Maybe when I’m more experienced, I’ll do the actual competition, but I’m mostly doing this for the learning side of it. Since I have a habit of not finishing projects, this should be interesting.

By the way, when I say I’m using Visual Basic, just note that I’m not going to be using pictureboxes and all that, lol.

Anyways, to all the other people taking part in this Ludum Dare, good luck!

I was going to be in the last Ludum Dare, but I plans got in the way of that. Last time, I was going to use VB.NET, but since, I’ve been learning how to use Unity. So, I will be using Unity this time around. Since I’m still learning, I’m only going to do the jam, but I figure that it will be a good learning experience.

Tools:

Unity

Language:

Javascript

Models:

Blender

Maya

Images:

Gimp

May find models and sounds online. (Those are allowed in the jam, correct?)

Definitely going to livestream everything. www.twitch.tv/tylerb1997

Anyways, really excited to get started. Good luck to everyone!

So, I started learning Unity recently and did the Ludum Dare as a learning experience. I definitely learned so much, and I’m really happy that I participated. However, my game isn’t that great, I guess, but I don’t think it’s too bad for a first game. I’m probably not going to keep working on this for too much longer, I’m kind of discouraged after being ridiculed so many times. The only thing to do is fix the game, and don’t make the same mistakes twice. I think the other problem is that I didn’t really like the theme, and didn’t think of anything for it.

Anyways, without a further a-do, my game..
