I’m a rookie who has never released a game or even finished a hobby game. But I’ve been fiddling with making games in Flash for almost 10 years now. I’ll be entering the competition and do a quick warmup entry this weekend.

Main tool is Flash CS 5_5 using AS2. While I am creating some mobile games using AS3, I’m still learning and thus not fast enough in AS3 to compete. With AS2 I can quickly prototype. Won’t be using any libraries but if it’s allowed I may cut+paste some frequently used functions from games I’ve been practicing with. I’ve read the rules but am not sure about the cut+paste thing. I’ll be sure to get clear on this before the compo starts, but I think it falls under “base code”.

Graphics will be in hand-drawn style using a Cintiq drawing directly into Flash. I can use Photoshop or 3DSMAX if need be but am planning to stick with a hand-drawn look for this competition. Sound will probably be an afterthought, likely some recorded sounds that will be processed in Audition or Premiere. Music will probably not be included but if it was it would probably be some minimalistic loops made in Fruity Loops.

Anyhow, this is all new to me. Let’s see how it goes!
