So, hello again, dear developers!<\/strong><\/p>\n

And again, I\u2019m going to participate in the LD, for the 4th time in the lifetime of this universe.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a 16 year old hobby developer from Russia, with something like 2.5 years of C++ experience. (I start to forget when I started to do\u00a0it. :D)<\/p>\n

And I just want to say hello to those people who have enough skills and enough courage to partipate in the event this time.<\/p>\n

As I said, it will be my fourth time. I\u2019m really happy about it. I have no idea how I can make money with my skills at this point, so only thing that I can make with them is to partipate in various events and contests. (And sometimes I make small utility programs.) And Ludum Dare is the biggest of them. I thint that it\u2019s one of the main reasons why I continue to develop my programming, drawing and music-making skills. Funny thing is: I didn\u2019t learn anything super big for some time already, I just made games and used some new libraries. But my skills are still somehow improving! Just look at these results (which I\u2019m very proud of):<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m going to try again. I\u2019m going to do something with this shameful \u2018humor\u2019 regression, but beating other results can be hard. Especially that cool \u2018Overall: #42\u2019. But I\u2019m still going to try at best of my abilities and improve all or at least most of them!<\/p>\n

And there is one more interesting thing: My life changed a lot since previous LD. I\u2019m now in different city and some things have changed. I feel more happy about my life at this moment. And I\u2019m very interested in looking at how these changes in my mind will change the way how I make games.<\/p>\n

But there is one disadvantage in being in another city: I have not took my workstation with me! D: So now, while I writing this post now, I\u2019m sitting in a small and not so clean room in front of slightly crappy laptop with tiny 1366\u00d7768 screen, using old vacuum cleaner as a chair. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I left my physical tools behind, by my virtual tools are still with me:<\/p>\n
