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
