Hi there, this is my first time doing something like this. I have made many games/ experiments already but never really finished or released anything. I wonder how much I can do in 48 hours.

Anyways, this is what I plan on using

• Enviroment: GameMaker; Although it sucks for large projects, it is great for making something workable in a short time frame.
• Graphcis: Mypaint for backgrounds, Gimp for everything else
• Sound effects: Bfxr; it is simply awesome for creating sound effects
• Music: Public domain music, possibly wolfram tones; I have very little musical talent, so I have to keep it simple here

The weird thing is that I like using GameMaker for quick game making even though I run linux. It runs perfectly in wine though.

By the way, I upvoted Potato. I am very interested to see what kind of things people come up with if that becomes the theme.

I potato does not become the theme (which it probably won’t) I plan on adding a potato easter egg, just ’cause
