I’m not going to pressure myself into using c++, java or c#, instead, I’m going back to my roots with gamemaker, last time I tried to make a game for ludum dare with c++, it did not end well, but I gained valuable experience, next time, I’ll be more prepared for programming the entire thing, but for now, I’m going to focus on making an enjoyable game.

Tools:

PyxelEdit or Paint.net for art

Gamemaker Studio for the actual game

Bfxr / Sfxr for sound effects

Maybe even milkytracker for music, not sure yet, I’m new making music.

I’ll probably be posting my progress on my newborn twitter account, so if you like, I’d like to have discussions about the game here, but only if you want to
