This week is going to be slow. I'm entering Ludum Dare 23, and of course the anticipation for both that and RPG4D is driving me crazy.

Weekend Warmup

With the Ludum Dare a week away, I'm using this weekend as an opportunity for a dry run. After all, it's no good having grand ideas and spiffy design documents if you can't get your tools and talent lined up to get things done by the deadline.
