Yeah! I made it to 10! didn’t miss a single one, even when I didn’t have the whole weekend available to me. (Ludum Dare 24 comes to mind)
These are the 9 games I made in the last 9 editions:

Of course I still have to actually finish the tenth time, but I’m confident that will happen. These are the tools I will be using:
Tools
Game maker studio for making the game.
Anvil studio for composing the soundtrack. (Check it out, it’s free and I’ve used it every single time so far)
Ableton Live for finishing the soundtrack.
SFXR for sound effects.
Audacity. I sometimes end up using this too.
Graphics Gale for pixel art and animation. Really great program.
Also check this out:
http://www.tweakbench.com/ has great free VST instruments. Especially for retro games.
It’s going to be awesome again! I’ll be blogging on ludumdare.com, and I’ll also be tweeting progress on twitter (@Jajabengames)
Good luck everyone!
