my past three have been failures! not enough time, I made them too complicated and in the end they were lazy slops of mess.  This time I’ll be sure to have a full packaged game, by  slimming it down, using simpler art, and of course my programming skills have improved since then so hopefully I’m more prepared.

Programming: FlashDevelop + AS3 + Flashpunk library

Art: GIMP + Flash CS5 if I’m feeling vector

Sound: SFXR is the usual tool.  inudge sounds good for a musically-handicapped person like me
