I just had one of the weirdest mornings ever. The following strange events happened in order:

• I woke up early. That’s already highly unusual for me. I love to sleep in on Saturdays.
• I started thinking about some fun way to spend this weekend, as I’m all alone and have zero plans.
• I get this idea that maybe I should work on one of my game ideas. I hadn’t written a single game related code in the past months and I’d like to change this.
• I check the Ludum Dare site for some inspiration.
• The compo is on right now! :O
• The theme is something I wanted to do anyway for a long time! :O :O

If I were my sister, I’d say there’s no way these things happened for no reason. I guess I have no choice now but make my best game ever.

As for the game itself, I’m planning a sort of Civilizations / Anno 1404 clone, focused on resource gathering and technological advancement. Might be too ambitious, we’ll see.

Similar to last time, I will be making an HTML5 Canvas game on a fully open source stack, meaning:

• Fedora Linux
• Atom editor
• Babel ES6 transpiler, Browserify
• Gimp, Inkscape
• LMMS, Audacity

Good luck to everyone! Have fun!
