Hey everyone, I’m in!<\/p>\n

This is my first time and first attempt. I was going to use Visual C# Express with XNA 4.0, but after finding out that XNA will never be updated again, I fell it’s my time to swith to Java for good. I loved C#, but Java is mutliplatform and has a really similar syntax! Anyways, here’s what I’ll be using :<\/p>\n

IDE\/Language : Eclipse (Java)
\n Engine : Slick2D & LWJGL
\n Graphics : Paint.NET
\n Sound : SFXR
\n Music : My own guitar (might be something else depending on inspiration)<\/p>\n

Also I’m gonna be streaming almost the entire thing (I’m planning on sleeping a little bit), so here’s the link : Twitch.tv\/PixelNationStudios<\/a><\/p>\n

Edit: Just wanted to point out that Java is fairly new for me and I learned how to use Slick2D on thursday! Not going to be easy doh…<\/p>","time":"April 25th, 2013 9:58 pm","title":"First Ludum Dare!"}
