I have done some LD games in Go before (see for yourself, it's possible) and I want to encourage others to give this great language a try themselves.

Over at my Github I have created some libraries that help you create games in Go:

• Very easy to use, minimal API, cross-platform game framework
• DirectX if you want to go low level: Direct3D9 DirectSound8 DirectInput8 and Shader Compiler
• Windows API wrapper to go along with DirectX
• Windows GUI framework if you want to use GDI instead

Additionally I have made some tools that make asset creation and deployment nicer:

• Pack assets into one file and include it into your executable
• Create .ico files from images
• Read Gimp's .xcf files
• Read Tiled's map files
• Build atlas images out of smaller ones

I hope people find use in these libraries, I have used all of these to create my games and would love to hear from you if you use any of these yourself. See you around, have fun!
