My Setup

Hello again, i want to share you what setup i plan to use.

Here are the tools:

  • Game Engine: Unity 2019.2
  • Art: Aseprite for Pixel Art (maybe Photoshop sometimes for "normal" art)
  • Music: Beepbox.co / Famitracker / Bosca Ceol
  • SFX: Bfxr / Famitracker
  • Planing: Notepad++
  • Source Control: Gitlab

And a bunch of coffee.

If you struggle with the theme like me sometimes here are some tips: - Cry - Cry louder again - scream "This themes sucks - why does they choose that theme? whats wrong with these guys?!" :) - Go to a bar and drink a beer - If you are still struggle repeat the last step until you have an idea ....or you are drunk.

Just kidding - here are the REAL tips: - Look at other LD Development Streams on Twitch - Search Twitter to they other devs have ideas or how they interpret it - Google the words and look what they can mean - Go out for a walk (sometimes this could help)

Coming up with the right idea is sometimes hard - but i learned something from my last 6 Ludum Dare's: - "The theme always sucks" (TM by PixelPhrophecy) - If you first think "oh boy what a bad theme" it happens often that i said "wait i have a really good idea for it". So if you look twice on the theme it CAN be good (..ok besides LD41 Theme - "Combine two incompatible genres" - this was bad at all :)).

And here is a small motivation too if you struggle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRpUr5iQPIY

Wish you all a great Ludum Dare
