Mandatory “I’m in” before candidate themes\u00a0brainstorming\u00a0and even more mandatory bedtime.<\/p>\n

Goals for this LD:\u00a0<\/span>
\n 1: Less is more.\u00a0Aim at something simpler\u00a0and feasible.
\n 2: Don’t look at the game through\u00a0programmer lenses. Having a cool experience for players is more important here than code structure, architecture and whatnot.
\n 3:\u00a0Make a fun\u00a0game and, of course,\u00a0have fun\u00a0making it.<\/p>\n

Tools of the trade:<\/span>
\n TECH:<\/strong> Either Haxe+[OpenFL|Flixel|]+FlashDevelop<\/strong>, or Unity5\/C# + Visual Studio<\/strong>. Unlikely candidates: Game Maker, Pygame. Just in case,\u00a0here’s the link\u00a0to\u00a0some\u00a0old\u00a0setup code built on top of Haxeflixel, plus some tilemap experiments that I’d done for\u00a0Unity. Find them here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Special guests:
\n ART: [GraphicsGale|<\/strong>Photoshop|<\/strong>Inkscape] +<\/strong>\u00a0Texture Packer<\/strong>.
\n AUDIO: Bfxr<\/strong> + Audacity<\/strong> + [Famitracker<\/strong> |Bosca Ceoil]<\/strong>\u00a0for sound and music.
\n LEVELS: Tiled<\/b> for level editing depending on the game needs and the\u00a0coding choice I end up making.
\n PLANNING: Trello<\/strong> for bookkeeping.<\/p>\n

Good luck to everyone!<\/p>","time":"December 11th, 2015 6:28 pm","title":"I\u2019m in! :D"}
