I’m a bit older and a battle-worn parent of a 4-year-old so I don’t know how well I will do with compo but I am giving it another go. The weekend before school, this will be a great way to get me in the mood for programming.  My last attempt got way out of hand, the idea was cool (in my head, of course) but I got way too involved with the graphics.  My mouth is much bigger than my stomach, so-to-speak.  This time around, I am going to stick with very simple sprites and get the coding all done, then go to music/sound, then if I have time I will update graphics (probably won’t, but maybe just some minor updates).  I also have some bedroom studio audio equipment so I am excited to make some interesting (probably crappy) music!

Sleep:  Since I am a parent and stay-at-home dad, I will be sleeping tonight probably around 2-3am and then waking up around 8am tomorrow.  I’ll try the same tomorrow but probably will take some power naps throughout the day for added clarity.

Engine: Pixi/Phaser (probably start with Phaser and see if I feel like just dialing back to Pixi as I progress)

IDE: Brackets/Chrome Dev Tools

Art: GIMP

Sounds: sfxr

Music: Reaper

Hopefully this will prove fruitful for me however I am still not sure on my idea yet so it’s up in the air!  Got some house/child stuff to do over the next couple hours but my mind is on LD!  I’ll update as soon as I have something and begin designing some simple sprites.

Alrighty then, let’s get a move on!
