I’ve seen many other people doing these posts, so I thought I should too.\u00a0So uh, hi, my name is Dylan, and I’m an al-<\/p>\n

Ever since I was a child I’ve always wanted to make games, yet I’ve never managed to maintain enough motivation to keep on keeping on to see a project through to its end. Truth be told, I’ve barely seen a project through to its start!<\/p>\n

That said, last weekend I attended the Freeplay Independent Games Festival in Melbourne, Australia, and like most other attendees, I left the two day event charged with motivation, and it was there I decided I would finally do something. Ludum Dare was conveniently just around the corner, so here I am.<\/p>\n

I’m not much of a programmer (if at all), so I’ll be using Construct as my tool of choice. GraphicsGale will take care of any pretty things I need to make, and sfxr will go quite nicely for all things audio.<\/p>\n

So that’s me. I hope I can stick out the 48 hours and come out the other end with something! All the best!<\/p>","time":"August 20th, 2010 8:21 pm","title":"Tenuous First Steps"}
