This will be my second LD. The first was LD26: Minimalism.

The World is in your hand

For LD 28, I’ll be using Flash, garage band, and my open source game engine TurboGraph: https://github.com/jacklehamster/TurboGraph-master

Basically, it’s an engine that makes caching bitmaps easier in ActionScript. It lets you use filters in Flash without ruining performance.

For minimalism, I saw a lot of entries concentrate on gameplay and use very basic graphics. That’s a smart move, since time is too precious to be spent on making elaborate art. For this LD however, I will try to go the opposite way. Minimalistic gameplay, just so I can spend all my time on art. I also want to take full advantage of my game engine by having complex vector graphics with tons of filters. I’m not a great artist (if I can call myself one at all), but I do enjoy drawing. I hope this will turn out to be a good experience.
