I am\u00a0ecstatic to be participating in my 8th Ludum Dare!<\/p>\n

This LDJAM I’ll be using MonoGame with a branch of my own fledgling framework that\u00a0I am building\u00a0here:\u00a0https:\/\/github.com\/srakowski\/coldsteel. Before the last few jams I’ve spent the days before it rewriting the thing. I’m not sure why, but it’s almost as fun as the jam itself \":)\" Per the rules you may use it, but I doubt anyone but myself would understand it :p.<\/p>\n

For graphics I generally use Paint.NET, Inkscape, Gimp, and good ole MS Paint.<\/p>\n

Audio, something that is easy to neglect, will be created with SFXR, Bosca Ceoil, and\u00a0Audacity.<\/p>\n

Restoring my no-alcohol policy this jam, not because I am against drinking, but because it is too easy to get distracted when off guard.<\/p>\n

I’m hoping to use the following schedule:<\/p>\n

Friday night: ideation, prototypes, etc. Must button down idea and stick to it.
\n Saturday: gameplay and engine dev, must have a functional ugly game by the end of the day. Asset creation rule, no more than 5 minutes to create any piece of content.
\n Sunday: polish, polish, polish.<\/p>\n

This was my plan last jam, but I went down a rabbit hole and ended up coding the entire game on Sunday. We’ll see how this one goes.<\/p>\n
