Just because LD is dead doesn't mean we cannot honor its traditions!

Hey my name is Mathijs. I'm pretty new to creating games and have never released a game before so im exited to join in. Since this is my first jam don't expect to much from me ;).

What im going to use for this jam is:
Unity.
Aseprite.
and Bosca ceoil.

I am a Python obsessed game developer who still thinks Pygame is relevant.

I've already entered the Ludum Dare 5 times(I entered under the name CMLSC). This will be my first non-LD event. :P

My tools/justthingsIuseindevelopmentthatarekindofliketoolshopefullyyouknowwhatimean:

Code: Python with the Pygame library along with any other scripts I have that could be used for the jam

Art: MS Paint or Px Editor(a pixel art/animation tool I made for game dev at lower resolutions)

Audio: SFXR and beepbox.co(still using chiptune for some reason)

Level Design: ThiSisa Map Editor(a level editor I made with a name that is pretty much "This Is A Map Editor")

I hope I'll have the time to enter the jam! :D

My theme votes:

Allowing anonymous comments

Enabling this option allows all users to post anonymous comments on your entry. Doing so gives them a free hand for posting direct, unfiltered feedback about your game, pleasant or not. If you don't feel comfortable with strong criticism, please keep this option disabled.

If you enable the option, you may change your mind later, but comments posted anonymously will of course remain anonymous.

Commenting anonymously

If the owner of an entry allowed it, you can choose to post a comment anonymously. This allows you to provide honest feedback (even unpleasant) in the safest conditions. Anonymous comments can still be identified by administrators (though only by running database queries), to moderate any form of hateful, offensive or insulting comments.

Anonymous comments do not count towards your feedback score.

Opt-outs

When entering the Solo or Team division, you can opt-out of certain rating categories. This is completely optional and depends on each game and your personal preference.

• Graphics: Opting out can be useful if the game is text-based, or sound only, or if you feel the art is so terrible that it's not worth rating it.
• Audio: Opting out is recommended if the game has no sound. You can also do so if the audio is so terrible you think it's not worth rating it.

People who opt out of a category still have to follow the same rules regarding third-party assets.

After a bunch of Ludum Dares, I'm hoping to find another regular jam with a growing, fun community!

I make my games solely in Haxe, using my own library plustd . Also TextMate, Photoshop, bfxr, and a bunch of terminal scripts.

My theme votes currently:

1. Alchemy
2. Space Station
3. Nightfall
4. Contagious
5. Space
6. Light the way
7. Robots
8. Industry
9. Connections
10. You Are The Bad Guy

"You Are The Bad Guy" is too close to "You are the Monster" (Ludum Dare 33) for my taste :)

Language and Library: Lib-GDX or Unity

Graphics: Paint.NET, Piskel, maybe Inkscape and Synfig

Music: LMMS, maybe Abundant Music or Bosca Ceoil. Depends on how much time I have left

SFX: Might use SFXR if I have time or just Audacity.

So… I've been thinking about using Pico-8 to make my game.
Is there anyone that's used it before? I wanna know if it's worth buying.
(O3O)/

Preparing for the jam

1. If you'd like to join a team or recruit people, make sure to look into our CrowdForge Jams page ;
2. If you haven't already, introduce yourself with a blog post, letting us know your background and what you plan to use for the jam! Since the event is not too big, it will be fun to know each other a bit and follow other people's progress during the week-end ;
3. And of course, get your tools ready for next Friday :D If you're not sure what to use yet, we have a list of resources you might be interested in.
