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.
