Good evening all! \u00a0Things look great this time, for my eleventh time in. \u00a0There is no crisis for once attempting to impede my work (the worst one thus far was an almost evacuation when the gas company found a gas main leak across the street). \u00a0If got food prepped in advanced; software up to date, and absolutely nothing I can blame not\u00a0having a great time developing a game this weekend.<\/p>\n
As usually, here’s my tools of the trade:<\/p>\n
Programming:<\/strong> Visual Studio 2015, C#, Monogame 3.4, Notepad++.<\/p>\n Graphics: <\/strong>EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN. \u00a0I do have a lot of software for doing art, but I am a slow artist so I’ll likely stick the usual pixel art in Paint.NET, with some sketching on paper of Sketchbook pro.<\/p>\n Sound: <\/strong>Famitracker, Audacity, and an Ukulele.<\/p>\n Base Code:\u00a0My custom engine<\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>ported to Monogame. \u00a0As always I suggest taking a peak and stealing the good bits if you like it.<\/p>\n Font:\u00a0<\/strong>For any text display, I have been using a free font \u00a0from\u00a0http:\/\/www.proggyfonts.net\/<\/a>, specifically Proggy Square. \u00a0I have converted it to a spritefont (PNG) for use in monogame\u00a0(both full size, and something that fits in 8\u00d78 for the NES style graphics I aim for). \u00a0The original font and converted formats can be downloaded\u00a0Here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Also as a side note, I think I got one of my coworkers to compete this time so I’m am eagerly excite to see what he’s come up with.<\/p>","time":"December 11th, 2015 6:34 pm","title":"Are we stoked yet?"}
