This will be my 3rd Ludum Dare.  In previous LDs I made “Protractor” and “Light the Way”.  Here’s my plan:

• SDK: Frank Engine – My open source 2d game engine (integrated with Box2D DirectX)  This is a pretty solid engine if anyone else is interested it’s very easy to set up with Visual Studio Express.  The screenshot above is from the included sample game.  I recently released a fairly epic metroidvania style game using it called “Mother Lover”.
• GFX: Drawing stuff by hand and scanning it in, editing with GIMP
• SFX:  Making my own sound effects with stuff around the house
• Music: Rock band on IPAD and/or guitar.  There may be a kazoo involved.
