Ah, the fun tradition of officially announcing that you're participating in Ludum Dare. Although it may be obvious already, I'll be joining LD49 as usual! Things'll be different this time though:

• I'll still be using Construct 3, because I've never seen an engine let you make a working game from scratch so quickly, and I've never seen an engine I love as much as Construct 3!
• Unlike last Ludum Dare, I won't be spending the first half-hour of the Compo making now-deprecated custom apps. Enough with the sloppy drawing, it's back to Construct 3's Animator for me.
• Apple GarageBand's various glitches and bugs have become too time-consuming for me to work around, this Compo I'll be using the spectacular BeepBox!

I haven't made any commitments to exactly what sort of project I'll be creating this time around, but I know it'll be (somewhat) better than my past entries. Maybe you'll actually be impressed this time around! Compo participation is a definite, and the game would end up being open-source anyways in my sense of spirit of Ludum Dare-ing. 6 months has been more than enough time to hone my skills and stay fresh in anticipation of Ludum Dare 49!

Good luck everyone, and make sure to get enough sleep to stay awake and enough food and drink to stay healthy!
