This will be my second Ludum Dare! 😀 Long time since 1st one, I missed it a lot! ^_^

This is my first time soloing so I’ll try going for the compo, but probably will end making the jam route (that is if I get to finish at all XD)

I’ll make a 2D game (I love big pixels ^_^) but apart from that I’m not planning anything else, I’ll wait for the theme and let’s see what kind of game I can imagine! 😀

I’ll be using:
-Engine: GameMaker: Studio (tought I’ll probably use notepad++ for code)
-Graphics: Aseprite (maybe also Gimp and/or Photoshop)
-Sounds: Bfxr + Audacity
-Music: FamiTracker and/or MuLab (+Audacity), maybe I’ll use some automatic generated music from http://abundant-music.com/ as a base. This will be my first try making music, so maybe I’ll end just using royalty free chiptunes XD
-Recording/video editing (for timelapse): CamStudioPortable + VirtualdubMod
-Version control: Git + BitBucket

It’s a pity that LD ratings won’t work as usual for this LD, but there is no problem without a solution, so I think I will also join the Itch Dare ( https://itch.io/jam/itch-dare ) to be able to rate games and so

Everybody, good luck and let’s have fun!! 😀

I don’t trust myself too much, because of panic attacks, so I’m joining solo. Worst that can happen is I don’t make a game.

But I’m in!
As usual:
Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash for the art
Construct 2 for the code
FLstudio for the music

This is my last game, Legend of Troll

I’m in for the fun of it. I’m usually a web developer, but I’m trying my hand at games. I’ve written small games in Java, but I bought GM two weeks ago and I’ve been getting in a lot of practice with it. I like that it let’s me focus my efforts on the things I’m lacking: sprite making and audio. So, for the next one I may use Java, but for my first time, I’ll be using:

IDE/Language: Game Maker Studio Pro/GML no DnD
Graphics: Gimp and GM Sprite Editor
SFX: BFXR, Audacity
Music: Muse Score

Teaming up with ButtercupSaiyan (BCS) this time, I am in for the jam!

BCS will take care most of the art part and I will be in charge of the programming/level design/sound part and perhaps do some graphics work as well in case of an emergency.

I am going with GameMaker Studio this time and planning ahead so the game will export to Windows AND HTML5 with no issues.
As such I will be possibly using WAV sounds and not use an extension for OGG, since the audio update for GameMaker is not here yet, and I wish to save time working on the gameplay instead of sinking time in implementing workarounds for both platforms.

Our goal this weekend is to have as much fun & excitement as possible together, and create a great game in 3 days that you will play and enjoy!

Good luck to everyone!
