Hello all,
I’m going to attempt an entry in this season’s Ludum Dare compo. I’ve tried previously yet haven’t finished a single one, however I feel up to the challenge. I will be using Java in Eclipse with the Lightweight Java Gaming Library and perhaps the Slick library, too. For graphics I will use GIMP, and for sounds SFXR and/or just my mic. Good luck everybody!

Okay so I’m thinking of going with You Only Get $1 to spend on saving your deathly ill mother’s life. I’m going to make a very simple point-and-click timed and budgeted game, and try to avoid making it too complex. Woo! I’m psyched.

Haven’t done any coding yet, but have a background/concept done.

the plan is for the drugstore, alley, and bar to be different possible locations to go with different things do do/buy in each

resource loading mechanics in place (finally) and man it already takes a long time to load. Hopefully I won’t have to load more than one font and I can keep that time roughly where it is. Hopefully. Now for real gameplay!

Timer and money counter in place. the guy responds to my clicks. woooooo

Well, I did the best I could. At least it’s there. Woohoo!
