Hey dudes & dudettes.

I'm Sam, a 17-year-old from the depths of South Africa. I'm hoping to study Physics at uni in 2017, and quite enjoy game development.

I've only really done one jam, and that was LD31. The others have been missed due to school and other such difficulties, however I'm free as a bird now (Wet Hot South African Summer Holidays) and am super eager to get to do the LibGDX jam! I'll be doing it solo, because the only other person I know who'd be willing to give a jam a shot is a friend of mine who writes code so illegible it makes my head hurt.

My arsenal includes LibGDX, Eclipse, FL Studio, SFXR and GIMP. And perhaps some more stuff. You never know with game development ._.

Happy jamming!

Hello everyone,

I'm Ben, student and... that's about it really. I've dabbled a bit in libGDX but not much. Most of my game dev experience is in Unity and Haxeflixel but I've always worked well under a deadline, so why not learn libGDX in a month and make a game?

In terms of the more artistic stuff, I use Aseprite for most art, though sometimes I pull out Photoshop if I want to composite a big scene of some sort. I use Bosca Ceoil for music and spam the randomize button on Sxfr for sound effects. I may end up adding more tools as I learn more about my workflow with the framework.

Good luck everyone!

Hi there!

I'm Mario, a 26 year old video-game lover and programmer from Barcelona.

I want to do something fun in the christmas break, so why the heck not do this.

I have used libgdx in the past, and will be using Android Studio, Gimp and BFXR... probably; not really bounded to these. It's a jam! Everything can happen!

My friend Jesus will be joining me (it's a real guy, not the one from The Book).

Have fun everyone!

NOTHING

Hi,

I'm Cord and I' studying CS.

I've done a couple game jams, and I work in a team with friends.

I'll be using libGDX(obviously!), Box2D, IntelliJ, Pyxel Edit, Affinity Designer, Photoshop, maybe Blender. For Sound I don't know yet what Software I'll be using.

Lets make somthing Awesome :-)

Hi there, from Utah USA! I'm a hacker-of-all-trades that got his start in web development and just did whatever else was asked of me as it came along. I'm always trying to learn something new in the IT industry. I've studied and dabbled with various game development technologies and principles, but never found the time/energy/motivation to actually put a game together. I've been meaning to do a Ludum Dare for the past year or so, however, work always got in the way (including last weekend). Hopefully I'll be able to squeeze in at least 48 hours worth of work over the next 30 days. I've played with libGDX a little, but I will ultimately be learning it as I go in this competition. It will mostly be a solo project, but I'll at least bounce ideas off friends and family over the holidays.

Good luck and happy holidays.

Hi there,

I'm Merijn, would be indie game developer by night. I live in the Netherlands with my wife and cat and have a daytime job in finance. I have been dabbling with game development for over 20 years, but only in recent years have actually made something for a wider audience.

I will be working alone - and will try to use some new technics from scratch. Not sure if this will become a viable contribution - but I will give it a try.

Wow. So many people here! Hope we will see some good contributions! Have fun!

Hi,

I'm Clifford. I did completed an intro to Java course at a university about 3 months ago, and have been using LibGDX for my games ever since.

I'll be aiming to only use Scene2D (as I find it cool and easy to use for UI's and such), get my sounds from Freesounds and make my own art! :D

I use Eclipse mainly because I've gotten really used to it, and it's not a half-bad IDE.

Good luck to everyone taking part!

Hello there

My name is Martin, and I am a noob indie developer from Denmark. I am a newcomer in this, so I am just excited to try it out. I have mostly worked in Unity before, but I fell in love with the LibGDX library, so thats what I am trying to play with now.

Good luck to all others

Hi everyone, i'm Meursault and i'm using this jam as an excuse to learn Libgdx. I have about one year experience with game development as a hobby but i only used Unity. So this jam will be my motivation to try out new things with libgdx. So there is nothing fancy to expect but im looking forward to the experience.

Good luck to everyone!

Hi, I'm Mike and I'm going to give this a shot. By day I'm a developer doing mostly Web related stuff (C#, HTML, Javascript, SQL, etc) but games are more interesting. I've done a couple game jams before and I'm liking the idea of this being a month long as I'm a busy person. Obviously I'll be using LibGDX, but other than that nothing is decided at this stage, probably GIMP for graphics though.

It'd be awesome if you could follow along, I'm on Twitter here: Okinawa Terminal

Finally, Good luck to all! :D

Hi, i'm Daniel. I'm from switzerland and i'm a work alone. I love 2d pixel games and cool innovative ideas.

I'm Jason. I left my job as a mobile developer to found Broken Shotgun. I've been a huge fan of LibGDX, but I have been recently experimenting with other game engines that have more comprehensive tool sets & IDE's (Unity, Unreal).

I am excited to play around with new stuff like Overlap2D, Spine, and not to mention all the new updates that have come to LibGDX since I've been learning other stuff!

I usually work alone, but I'm always looking for people to collaborate with! If you still don't have a team and want to work together, reply to this comment! :)

Hello fellow jammers;

My name is Jeff and I am both a computer science and engineering student. I am totally new to making games; looking to sharpen my Java skills and make a cool game in the process. Will be working with Liquid Shock Games for this jam.

Good luck everyone (and have fun)!

Hey,

Adam here. I didn't think I would be entering this given the theme, but I decided on a game idea within 5 minutes so I decided to give it a go. I am making making ports for desktop, android, and html (I don't have any ios devices sorry).

My idea is spore but with planets and not cells and I will most likely be doing this myself.
