After having a lot of fun creating a game for Ludum Dare 27, OxySocks and me (unofficial teamname “SoulSocks”) are going to participate in the Ludum Dare 29 jam! Our previous entry was created with Unity using very basic 3D graphics, two things we did not really have extensive experience with. This time we wanted to use something we are more comfortable with, so we are going to build a game ‘from scratch’ using Java. The largest advantage is that we, both being programmers, can build a back-end that perfectly suits our style and needs, so we can spend more time writing the game and less time fighting an engine we do not fully understand.

The Tools

We are looking forward to reading your development blogs and playing the final game results!
Good luck everyone and most importantly: have fun!
