I’m super excited to get going!  I’ve made lots of improvements to my usual set of libs and tools, which I’ll post sometime tomorrow.  I made a little test game today with moving push models, some particles, and basic item pickups to test out my stuff:

My tools will be visual studio express C# 2010 with XNA4, paint.net, sfxr, 3dsmax, quake army knife with a custom addon I’ll include with my libraries, chronolapse, bryce, audacity, and my dads old fender acoustic guitar for music.
