I’m looking forward to tonight with equal parts feverish anticipation and cold dread. Tonight, my friends, I participate in my first Ludum Dare. I’m opting for Java as my language of choice as I’m most familiar with it. I won’t be using any base code or prewritten libraries, but starting from scratch. Here’s a (possibly incomplete) list of resources as per the rules…

bfxr, maybe Audacity

Paint.net

Eclipse

Yeah, I’m not exactly a contender to win judging by the other posts. However that isn’t the point, and I will nonetheless give it my best shot. I look forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with – good luck guys.

See you early on Monday I guess. Bye!

Here’s a screenshot of my work in progress. It’s an as yet unnamed dungeon-crawler-loot-RPG. The theme of minimalism is included in that the more loot you carry, the harder it becomes to fight monsters and avoid obstacles, so therefore less is more. I am beginning to have doubts in my ability to complete this game on time, however, due to the fact that I keep getting sidetracked by all the other posts!

Anyway, good luck guys.
