Yeah this "I'm in" post is pretty late, my internet was acting up and I couldn't get on, but better late than never to test out the new posting system!

So yeah, I have an idea and I started a little bit on it. Here's what I will use:

-I will code in C# with Visual Studio. -I will use the XNA Game Library and because it's obsolete and hard to get the game itself without a lengthy installer I will attempt to port it to Monogame. -Paint.NET for drawing. -SFXR and maybe Audacity for sound effects.

This is my second Ludum Dare, and I don't know if this post will work so let's see...

I completely underestimated how fast I can make a game and I'm already done. Well that's great isn't it?

Now I just gotta find out how to post it if I even can post early...

Is there or is there going to be a way to change your display name? Maybe I should contact Mike or something, but I'll ask here.

I'm working on rating some games, and I bet you are too. I know everyone is doing this but I don't care, go play my game at https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/step-squish

Shameless promotion!!

NOT A SELF-PROMOTION

I just wanted to say that this Ludum Dare was kind of weird to me. Most of these games are good, but not anything amazing. They all also seem to be more arcade-y than usual, probably because of the theme. This theme and the last theme along with a few ones farther back have just been about confining the game to a small area, and it really isn't all that great. I thought themes were there to guide you, not restrict you that much. The games should feel a bit more free, not all contained in a small world or one room. I just hope the next is something like Ludum Dare 32, which was an unconventional weapon.

Anyways, I just wanted to get that off my chest. Thanks if you actually read this.

Just a simple question, I get told a lot that my games need music. Do you fellow peeps have any recommendations for software that I can make music with in a short time suitable for Ludum Dare? Just wondering. Bloo blah blah blee

Wow, another self-promotion. Welp, I have 16 ratings on my game, and I need 20 ratings "to score". Whatever that means, can someone explain?

Anyways, I want to get whatever that thingy is. Just rate my game and leave a comment bellow, *then I will rate yours. *

* EDIT: I have enough games to rate now and I'm going to sleep. Thanks everyone. *

Basically, I have to study instead. I would love to be in but I just can't. But hey, who knows maybe I'll change my mind at the last second. Anyways, have fun! I might find time to play some of your games later though.

As the title says, I'm going to do this Ludum Dare. It will be my third Ludum Dare, and I hope my game will be better than my last two.

What I'll Be Using

Programming Language: C#

Library: XNA, maybe I will try and port it to MonoGame for once.

I'm learning Unity!

Art: Paint.Net

Sound: Audacity, SFXR

Oh and I have a keyboard now, maybe I'll use it to try and make some music. I'm not sure if I will though...

I'm working on theme slaughtering. I'm not even close to finishing, I have no idea how people find the motivation to think about thousands of game themes, but I'm working on it.

I feel the theme suggestions aren't very good too...

So yeah, I'm in. Unless something comes up, I'll be creating an entry.

Last Saturday my headphones fell down and the end snapped off inside my headphone port. I tried all the techniques online, but none of them worked and I feel like some made it worse. I guess I have to make a quick fix to my computer then.

I'm planning on buying a new sound card or Bluetooth headphones. I'll figure it out.

Right before Ludum Dare, how convenient. I wish you all the best of luck!

I finally finished my entry! I got really distracted this Ludum Dare with other things, but here it is!

You can play it here.
