Hello LDers! For the LD26, I made an awful 2D shooter. I originally had big plans for it but time and technical constraints got in the way.

For the MiniLD 43, I’m hoping to make an AWESOME RTS! I think that it will be a lot like The Space Game, but with the ability to design your units’ AI.

• Language: JavaScript with HTML5
• Library: None! I’m a bit of a purist when it comes to JS. EDIT: HowlerJS for sound
• Beverage: Orange juice. Most pulp. I’m weird.
• IDE: Notepad++. I’m too lazy to get a proper IDE. Actually, maybe I should do that right now.
• Art: I’ll avoid ‘programmer art’ and instead do programmatic art – very abstract stuff drawn in the code (no assets to load!). If all goes well, that will look a lot better than anything I could draw. Also, I lost the stylus to my tablet.
• Music: FL Studio, Express edition. Since Express Edition sucks and is discontinued anyway, I should probably fork over another $59.99 to upgrade. Some other week.
• Did I cheat?: Yes. Life will definitely get in the way over the next week, so I started on the GUI yesterday. So far, I have just over 200 lines of (highly padded) JavaScript. My apologies to all those who will spend the entire week, starting tomorrow, no earlier, with Red Bull and their computer. Don’t worry, I probably won’t finish.

I’m very excited! I’ll probably stream it on Twitch. See you there!
