This is going to be the first LD48 for me, and I consider this to be a good opportunity. There have been a couple of things bugging me for a while.<\/p>\n
First,\u00a0it’s been a long time since I’ve been into a 48 hour contest. Had some success but it seems to fade like a filled row in a game of Tetris.<\/p>\n
Then there’s this thing (or rather a set of things) I’ve been working on for a couple of years already, SGScript<\/a> (and the<\/a> associated<\/a> libraries<\/a>), which is basically turning into a solid replacement for Lua and other scripting engines.\u00a0I have done some testing but there’s no limit to the amount of testing I still, always, want to do to make sure that everything is as good as it needs to be for high productivity expectations.<\/p>\n Finally, it’s just been too long since my previous finished game. I just want to make a new one.<\/p>\n I have two public source code repositories from which\u00a0I will be using code that I have written before:<\/p>\n Contents of both repositories may change before and after the contest. There’s a library or two that I haven’t pushed there\u00a0and the game framework there at the moment is slightly outdated but they’ll all be there a day before the contest. All bugs found and features developed during the contest are going to version-controlled\u00a0repositories as soon as possible, too.<\/p>\n And since everyone’s saying what they’re gonna use to make their games, here’s my list: GIMP, Sublime Text, possibly Blender, sfxr, FL Studio.<\/p>","time":"April 23rd, 2014 10:22 pm","title":"Going for a test drive"}\n
