I’ve followed Ludum Dare for a few years and really enjoy seeing what people create. I decided to take a crack at making a small game this weekend which will be simultaneously exciting and terrifying. Talk about crunch time.

I will be working on my iMac and intend to create an action shooter playable in a browser so the most people play it.

Engine: Unity Pro 3.5 (“Oh god, how does ___ work again? Sh!t”)

Editor: TextMate

Graphics: Pixen (2D retro style all the way due to time).

Sound: cfxr

Music: Figure (iOS) (assuming there’s any time left, lol)

Will definitely focus on a very small scale 2D game to have any hope of completing things in the very short 30-35 hours to actually make the game. Did a little pre-design thinking about what I wanted to do and hoping that I can just hit the ground running and loosely wrap the theme around the game. I expect any planning to fall apart exponentially as time marches on.

Hoping that “End of the World” wins just due to the Mayan stuff, so that would be appropriate

Need to run to the store for a food run real fast but here’s the obligatory shot of my desk where I will be chained for the weekend (Yes, Hobbit you may have to wait until Monday).

Good luck all. See you during and on the other side. Look forward to seeing what you all make.
