I’m in again

Can’t wait to do this again! This will be my second Ludum Dare, and hopefully I know a bit more about programming than the first time.

My first game was pretty basic, especially in terms of gameplay, mostly because I didn’t have a clue what I was doing in Flixel. I was fairly happy with the art, but I definitely want to do better with it this time. I’m an artist, so I knew that part would be easier than the code.  I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to go with painted raster art, vector cell-shading, or a combination of the two. I really like the fully-painted look, but it’s a pain to animate the sprites because its hard to do rigging.

I’d like it this time if I can manage to create something that has at least a little more “game” in it. All I really managed the first time was a guy walking around shooting bullets at enemies. I’m still a fairly novice programmer, but I’m better than I was, so I’m excited to see what happens.

Code: Flixel/Flashdevelop

Art: Photoshop for raster, Flash for vector

Good luck! Your choice of art directions sounds interesting, especially as I’m someone who sticks strictly to pixel art.

Sometimes your limitations can become your strengths.

Most people do small pixelarts sprites so do your beautiful big characters and create the game around that limitation.

I really like your little monsters by the way.
