This is going to be my first LD, I’m hoping to make it in the first 48 hours, but I may have to do 72.

I’m going to be using Java with Slick2D, Gimp, Paint.net, MSPaint?lol and Tiled for my map editor. GL everyone!

I plan to participate with my friend this weekend, I’ll be using Java with LWJGL as the main coder, and he will be doing his pixel arty stuff.

So this is what we’re doing. Our impression of minimalism is imbued in the setting of the submarine. To us, minimalism was doing a lot with a little, something that submarines do spectacularly well, given the restrictions on space that they face.

In our game, the player is only surviving member some kind of accident that our protagonist can no longer remember. After you wake, you face the challenge of single handedly repairing the soviet sub – even as it continues to break. You must find your way to the surface – or face death upon the sea floor.

Also potatoes.

… I totally forgot to do this post 25 hours ago. So I’m just doing an underground platformer. I’m really behind atm. I’ve got the main character Sir Faec B.E.Neath animated for the most part, and I’ve made a primitive level editor.

I’m using:

LWJGL

GIMP + Paint + PyxelEdit

The only other LD I’ve completed was April ’13.

Have participated to varying degrees in a couple over the years, keen to get something proper done this time however
