This is pretty much my first time, so needles to say I&#8217;m pretty excited. I have little experience in game developing, but plenty in programming in general to be able to make some games. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n <p>Language :AS3, everyone loves flash&#8230; Right?<br \/>\n Library: Flixel, it makes everything so much easier.<br \/>\n IDE: Flashdevelop, easy and powerful enough<br \/>\n Art: GraphicsGale for simple sprites, GIMP for additional editing.<br \/>\n Sounds: sfxr, what else?<br \/>\n Music: Aviary or Otomata, depending on the kind of game I&#8217;ll end up making.<\/p>\n <p><del>Sadly I have no musical skills, so I&#8217;m not sure how I&#8217;ll handle this. I&#8217;ve heard of Autotracker, but I&#8217;ve never used Python, and it seems a hassle to convert to .wav then to .mp3. I guess I can use <a href=\"http:\/\/tones.wolfram.com\/generate\/\">Wolfram Tones<\/a> if it&#8217;s going to be a retro\/8-bit ish game, else I might throw in some royalty free music. Anyone knows if the latter is allowed? If not, I suppose the game has to be so good that it doesn&#8217;t need music. \ud83d\ude1b<\/del><\/p>\n <p>EDIT: Thanks to Rybicon for sharing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2012\/04\/16\/some-useful-music-generators\/\">Caranha&#8217;s blog<\/a>, it seems I have found a way to create simple music. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>","time":"April 16th, 2012 8:54 am","title":"Let\u2019s do this!"}
