I’m in again, for my second go round. But this time I’ll be participating in the Jam with a friend who is new to the compo. Previously I stuck with what I was comfortable (flixel/haxe with sublime 2) but since there’s two of us and he’s less experienced, we might jump in with PlayCanvas or Unity. We’ll see.

Other tools almost guaranteed to use: git, sfxr/bfxr, pyxeledit/autotileset, and Greasemonkey’s Autotracker-Bu which is highly entertaining.

Edit: this post from ludum dare past was highly useful for me in my first time, in case anyone else is looking for things to use/things I reference above.
