Despite the upcoming finals week, I’m definitely in for LD 25. This will be my 4th, and hopefully I can keep up the steady improvements I’ve made each time.

Goals: In all three past games I’ve spent far too long on graphics for what I got, even though last time I said I wouldn’t, so I really want to keep it to a bare minimum. Like, two hours, max. I also decided to do this one in a different language than usual, but…that won’t be happening. So, the goal this time is to either include some scripted event in the game or create my own bitmap font (or both!).

Tools:

Notepad++ for Javascript/HTML5, library code from the Video Game Development Club at the University of Minnesota

sfxr, FamiTracker or GarageBand

GIMP

…Maybe some other stuff from the tools page, if I am so inclined

Trader Joe’s!

Also, random side note, I can not figure out how to change my profile picture in WordPress…
