Ludum Dare 30 won’t be my first, but it should hopefully be my first time entering. To sum up the issue I had with the first time around for LD27, I was entering the jam with a friend. Our communication was awful. For just one example, we were making a game that would take place on a 2D plane, but it would have 3D art. I didn’t know the latter, so I was making pixelated art (which he told me to make). I am not pushing blame on either of us.

As for this time around. I familiarized myself with Stencyl (but I am currently learning GM:S) enough to make a game efficiently. I will be using GIMP, Paint.NET, or an awkward combination for the art. Sound effects will be done in sfxr, as almost any entry. I plan on buying a nanoKEY2, that I will use with SunVox. To clarify, I am not a musician in any way, shape, or form. I can improv on the piano, as well as play Mary Had a Little Lamb (I am obviously very qualified).  I also played the sexysax for about three years before getting tired of the headaches I would get every day (thanks, you annoying clarinets in front of me). If you hadn’t noticed, I’m a cheapskate! Most of the stuff on here is free.

Any tips for me based on my equipment?

Let’s face it, most of us listen to music while making games. Plug.dj allows you to listen to music as a community. Anyone else up for an official Ludum Dare plug.dj room that would be similar to the IRC, but with music instead of chat? I think this would be neat during the competitions themselves, and for random times.
