So I’m in for another Ludum Dare, for the competition rather than the jam this time (unless I really need that additional twenty-four hours…).<\/p>\n

Coding: Phaser (https:\/\/github.com\/photonstorm\/phaser), along with the basic game template provided and some of the plugins available for it (https:\/\/github.com\/photonstorm\/phaser-plugins), depending on what kind of game I end up doing. Cloud9 will serve as my IDE and test server.<\/p>\n

Image Creation: Paint.NET!<\/p>\n

Audio: Bsfx, Sfxr, Audacity, and\/or Audiotool.com, depending on the game I make.<\/p>\n

Level Design: Tiled Map Editor (www.mapeditor.org) for level creation, along with lots of pencils and paper and both physical and virtual game pieces to plan things out.<\/p>\n

Other: Dropbox and\/or Google Drive for hosting and file storage, Steam and the World Wide Web for distractions, a variety of randomizers for inspiration (including\u00a0seventhsanctum.com and\u00a0http:\/\/orteil.dashnet.org\/gamegen), and a number of humans to bounce ideas off of.<\/p>\n

I’ll try to be a lot more active with posting updates this time, and hopefully using an engine I’m actually somewhat familiar with this time will make this LD easier.<\/p>","time":"August 22nd, 2014 3:34 pm","title":"Ready for LD30"}
