Do I have any clue what I'm doing? Of course not! But to heck with it, I'm in!!!

This'll be my first Ludum Dare, and I am absolutely excited!!! I wish you all luck!

I forgot what it feels like to get that burst of pride when something you try actually works! I've got a concept going, and I'm trying to keep it simple as possible. I may be doing what a hundred others are doing, but it will still be new for me so that's all that matters. I'm also hoping that if I can get something rudimentary done quickly, I'll have a good amount of time for polishing. So far I have a spinning blue planet and a red guy that does nothing. Exciting!

I'm using game maker pro right now. I would've used unity, but I've only used it about two times previously, and I didn't have much time to prepare before I decided I'd hop into this. Plus, this system isn't going to be crazy complicated. So GM it is!

Besides that, I'm using photoshop and audacity + my Casio keyboard, for anyone curious.

Wish me luck!

Lunchtime on day two! Things are going well, I managed to fight with the clouds and the world to get it to freakin' listen to me, but it works! Huzzah! Except I already foresee a problem that will be a heck of a time to fix, sooooooo... I'm hoping the problem doesn't come up because I'm not sure how to fix it if I need to. And it'll take a long time to fix if I need to. I may just try and avoid it all together. But my world is spinning and my clouds are moving and I am doing well!

In other news, my girlfriend proposed to me last night! I am absolutely buzzing with excitement and it's hard not to jump out of my chair while I'm working. She inspires me to push forward, and I definitely don't want to let her down. This weekend has been amazing!

Hey! It's done! It's incredibly short, and a bit buggy, but considering it's my first LD, and my first time making a relatively complete game, I'm satisfied. I might mess around and improve it from here, but I look forward to the criticism, as well as playing everyone else's games. Anyway, here it is! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/star-catcher
