I did some hobby game development several years ago, then just… stopped (lack of motivation, I suppose). Looking back at some of the stuff I’ve done, even incomplete LD projects, I marvel at what I accomplished and wonder if I could even repeat that. I’ve wanted to continue for a long time and have beaten myself up every time I let a LD or a OGAM pass me by… but here’s my chance to get back into it.<\/p>\n

Engine<\/strong>: Phaser<\/a> or L\u00d6VE<\/a> (depending on which I feel more comfortable with in a week)
\n Graphics<\/strong>: Aseprite<\/a> or PyxelEdit<\/a>\/Photoshop\/Tiled<\/a> (if necessary)
\n Sound<\/strong>: sfxr<\/a> or bfxr<\/a> (BeepBox<\/a> looks cool but I probably won’t have time)<\/p>\n

I’d like to hear any suggestions between Phaser.io or L\u00d6VE from people with some experience. I presume that L\u00d6VE makes for easier distribution (though I do<\/em> have webspace for hosting, if I want) and that they’re comparable in actual flexibility\/power (which is to say: both very good), but I’m open to biased preferences and hearing why. \":)\"<\/p>","time":"August 14th, 2016 8:19 pm","title":"It\u2019s been a long time\u2026 but I\u2019m in"}
