This will hopefully be me 6th time participating in the Ludum Dare, though I’m still not 100% sure I’m in. \u00a0I have a family member in for surgery as we speak, though it’s a routine outpatient procedure. \u00a0If all goes well, I’m in; if not, then well… we’ll see what happens.<\/p>\n
In any case, provided I can compete, here are my tools:<\/p>\n
Programming:<\/strong>\u00a0Visual Studio, C# using XNA 4.0. \u00a0I should be able to port it over to Monogame without an issue, but I’ll stick to what I know for the actual competition.<\/p>\n Graphics:<\/strong>\u00a0Paint.NET, Corel Photopaint, Sketchbook Pro, and maybe Spine for animation if I don’t decide to do NES stile pixel art.<\/p>\n Sound:<\/strong>\u00a0SFXR, FamiTracker, Audacity, Baritone Ukulele (YOu’ll probably not hear the uke in the game, but I compose on it as best I can).<\/p>\n Base Code:<\/strong> My custom engine<\/a>. It’s a good collection of code for rendering animations, handling camera, transforms, audio, input, collision, and a bunch of other useful stuff. Take a look and take whatever you can use.<\/p>\n Font:\u00a0<\/strong>For any text display, I have been using a free font \u00a0from\u00a0http:\/\/www.proggyfonts.com\/<\/a>, specifically Proggy Square. \u00a0I have converted it to a spritefont (PNG) for use in XNA (both full size, and something that fits in 8\u00d78 for NES style graphics). \u00a0The original font and converted formats can be downloaded\u00a0Here<\/a>.<\/p>","time":"April 25th, 2014 1:01 pm","title":"I am\/am not in?"}
