I missed out on the last LD (though I’ve only ever done one before), but I’m very excited for LD23. I’ve been working on some games on my own and have gotten good at working with some much more functional libraries than last time, so hopefully my game will be super-sweet. I’m thinking about trying to work whatever the theme is into an arcade-style beat-’em-up, but I suppose I’ll have to wait and see…<\/p>\n

Code- Either C++ with the Simple and Fast Multimedia Library<\/a>\u00a0(or G3D\/OpenGL, if I’d dare to try 3D on this one), or JavaScript\/HTML5 in Notepad++ and Chrome<\/p>\n

Art- Gimp, probably. I’ve trended towards spriting thus far, and it’s certainly a step up from MSPaint.<\/p>\n

Music- GarageBand, sfxr, and possibly FLStudio. Maybe I can learn how to get good output from Sibelius in the next week…<\/p>\n

Food- Trader Joe’s!<\/p>\n

Oh, and I’ve been working on some generic sprite-wrapping code in HTML5 lately, so I will probably end up using\/porting that.<\/p>","time":"April 12th, 2012 6:21 pm","title":"Ah! I\u2019m really excited."}
