I’m again. This will be my 4th Ludum Dare.<\/p>\n
Last time I used Unity, but this time around I’ll be once again creating an ActionScript game. While it’s great to explore technologies that I’m not very good with, I think I’m going to try making an actual game this time!<\/p>\n
For coding, I’ll be using FDT<\/a>. For compiling, I’ll be using Adobe AIR 3.8 beta<\/a>.<\/p>\n Code-wise, I’ll be using my generic, public code<\/a> that I’ve been sharing on GitHub. Many of it includes game-related classes made especially for Ludum Dare, including a new GameLooper<\/a>, and a a game input abstract class<\/a>.<\/p>\n For third-party libraries, I’ll be using Starling<\/a> for rendering and Nape<\/a> for physics. I plan on having levels of some kind; I’ll be creating those levels with the R.U.B.E. Box2D editor<\/a>, and loading them into my game with my R.U.B.E. loading function<\/a>.<\/p>\n For audio, I’ll be using static files from sfxr<\/a>. Art will be created with Illustrator and Photoshop.<\/p>\n I’m not sure of the target platform yet. It’ll be Flash, so this means either as a desktop app, a web game, or an OUYA\/Android game. My recent prototypes have been targetting desktop and OUYA, so hopefully that’s what I’ll do.<\/p>\n I will be broadcasting my progress on my Twitch.tv channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n Game on!<\/p>","time":"August 22nd, 2013 7:37 am","title":"I\u2019m in"}
