A New Player Enters the Arena!

Sounds more dramatic than it is, I suppose. I'm here because someone *cough*TOAST*cough* dropped an announcement on the Ludum Dare front page about an upcoming contest. My first reaction was trying to ignore it. I'm just getting back into programming and game design, and I'm already preparing for a somewhat ridiculous game making contest that only gives me two days to do my thing, so it isn't like I need another project…

But… RPG!!!!1!! Those are my favorite games. They're what I do. So, yeah. Ya got me interested. I don't know if I'm up to creating a production quality game in three months from scratch, but it would be interesting to try.

It's been ages since I created a full game. I used to design a lot of games in high school. The few I finished and actually liked were text adventures. Good art takes me a long time, and I've never produced it for an actual game.

I might toss my floppy disk into the ring. A few things bug me about this site, though. I can't upload an avatar, for starters, and there don't seem to be any to choose from. Does this have something to do with the migration I'm reading about?

If you have trouble with art, you could always team up with someone to make them do your dirty work.

And to use an avatar, upload it into your file manager and then you can pick it in your preferences.

Probably.

Avatars are indeed uploaded by yourself.

People usually say to leave your sanity in the red box by the door, but you could probably bribe the coatcheck girl, she isn't very well paid. Oh, and don't eat chicken.

I wonder if you could feat anti-chiken to chiken.

Anywyay, welcome to 64D. =D

Yeah, the upload thing is bugged right now 'cause the guy who's supposed to be migrating the server decided to break his arm in the middle of it.

64Digits is not meant to exist - between divine intervention, table dropping, and lazy programmers, it is only the mind controlling code that keeps the site alive. o_o

Edit: Oh, and since toast brought you here, I should mention 'don't eat toast'

Crap, I knew you guys were on the Dark Side! What have I gotten myself into?

Welcome btw.

I'm just one of the oddball girls that plays Minecraft and writes occasional blogs so I'm probably not much help. ^_^
