It’s happening.

This round I’m going to try out cocos2d/pyglet/pygame and Python, instead of Lua/Love2d. Though Love2d is a very capable platform, I find myself annoyed by Lua’s design choices, and, while Python has its own oddities, missteps, and issues, they usually don’t anger or distract me as much as Lua’s do. I’ll be using SublimeText3 and the Jedi plugin for my coding, on ElementaryOS Luna.

No matter what else I try, my instict is to go with the GIMP for graphics, mostly because Photoshop isn’t available on Linux, and because it’s what I’ve used for years. For audio, audacity, bfxr, and FamiTracker (via Wine) should be sufficient.
