Hi hi, I’m mcc, I’ve done the last 4 LDs, always the compo. The game I made last time– an evolving game for the Evolution compo– actually did pretty well<\/a>, placing in the top ten. This time I’m doing something a little different. I and Liz Ryerson<\/a> have decided to make a game together and enter it in the 72-hour jam, something I’ve never done before. I’m a little worried because the compo always seems like kind of a mess compared to the compo, but I’m excited about working with Liz so I don’t care. I might also make some kind of ridiculous barely-theme-appropriate noise toy in 2 hours and enter it in the compo, but I’m not sure.<\/p>\n

I’m mainly a coder, and I reuse engine code from project to project, so I am certain to reuse for the jam code that has been part of one of my previous projects, specifically one of my projects based on Ivan Safrin’s Polycode<\/a>. The source code for all my projects is at my BitBucket page<\/a>; in particular, right here<\/a> is code for an isometric level editor sort thing that I was writing for Liz and I to use this weekend, but didn’t finish in time. Let’s see what happens!<\/p>\n

If you want to see an overview of my game making workflow \/ codebase, see here<\/a> for this long blog post I wrote about it and am kinda proud of. (I have aspirations to someday make tools or libraries to help other people make games, but I don’t think I’m really at the point I’ve ever made anything useful yet.)<\/p>","time":"December 14th, 2012 10:50 am","title":"Oh geez, today already?
